Per the IICRC S500 Standard, minor Category 1 water damage can be dried in 2-4 days; major Category 2 or Category 3 floods may take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial assessment.

Can you help with temporary housing during restoration?

If your property is uninhabitable during restoration, your insurance policy may cover temporary housing under Additional Living Expenses (ALE). We document damage and coordinate with your adjuster to help get this approved.
