What homes in Nassau County are up against

Hidden moisture inside walls and under floors is easy to miss, and the EPA advises drying wet areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold. Fast, thorough drying matters more than anything else.

Permits and rules

Repairs to walls, floors or the structure after water damage may need a permit. Ask your provider what applies to your job. If you plan to file an insurance claim, report it promptly and take photos before anything is thrown away.

What affects the cost

Prices vary by provider and by how much was affected, so ask for an estimate. What usually affects the cost:

• How large an area got wet, and for how long
• Whether the water was clean, like a supply line, or contaminated, like sewage or floodwater
• How much material has to come out, such as drywall, flooring or insulation
• Whether mold has started to grow
• Drying equipment and how many days it runs
• Rebuilding after the drying is done

Questions people ask

What should I do first?

If it's safe, shut off the water at the main valve and turn off power to wet areas. Move valuables out of the water and take photos of the damage.

How long does drying take?

It depends on how much got wet and what it's made of. Your provider measures moisture and can tell you how long their equipment needs to run.

Will insurance cover it?

It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden leaks are often treated differently from flooding or slow leaks. Check with your insurer and report the claim promptly.
