01 · First steps

What to do right after you find water

  1. Stop the source. Shut the main valve or the appliance supply, and switch off power to wet areas if reaching the panel is safe.
  2. Call for a crew. Describe what is wet and how far it spread so dispatch can send the right extraction gear.
  3. Move what you can. Lift small furniture, rugs and electronics out of the water, and leave heavy items for the crew.
  4. Photograph everything. Take clear photos of the damage, the source and damaged belongings before anything gets removed.
  5. Skip the shop vac. Leave wet drywall and flooring alone and avoid walking through sewage so the damage stays contained.

Why homeowners call

A water damage crew that treats the whole structure, not just the puddle

Standing water is only part of the loss. Hidden moisture in walls and subfloors causes the long term damage, so crews measure and dry what cannot be seen.

Response

Any hour dispatch

Floods and pipe breaks do not wait for business hours, so live dispatch routes the call to a crew whatever the time.

Standard

Readings, not guesses

Meters and thermal checks confirm where water traveled, and every reading stays in the job file.

Insurance

Insurance ready records

Photos, moisture logs and an itemized scope are kept together so the adjuster sees the full picture.

Local

Water and sewage only

The work stays focused on water losses, from clean supply leaks to contaminated overflow.

Ceiling stained or sagging? Flag it before the water finds the wiring.

04 · How crews work

Every job follows a documented drying routine, start to finish

Crews follow industry drying practice from the first moisture reading to the final check, so wet materials are measured rather than guessed at, and the file shows each step.

1

Inspect and map

Moisture meters and thermal checks show which walls, floors and ceilings are wet, and the findings go in the file.

2

Remove the water

Pumps and extractors take out standing water, and ruined porous materials are cut out and bagged.

3

Dry the structure

Air movers and dehumidifiers run in a controlled setup while readings are logged on every visit.

4

Confirm and document

Final readings show the materials are dry, then the crew hands over records the insurer can use.

What drives water damage in a river city like this

At 23 feet of elevation and directly across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, the city deals with heavy rain, high water and sewer overflow, and each one calls for a different response.

Heavy rain: A strong storm can overload drains and push water toward homes, and the city's combined sewers add to that pressure, so wet floors can follow quickly.

  • Combined sewer overflow. Seven combined sewer overflow outfalls discharge to the Delaware River and Newton Creek, and heavy rain can strain the same system that serves city homes, which is why sewage backups call for sanitary cleanup.
  • Green infrastructure pilot. A Rutgers Cooperative Extension pilot with the city, NJ Tree Foundation and Camden County Soil Conservation District targets nuisance flooding and combined sewer overflow issues.
  • Aging infrastructure. The same pilot aims to upgrade aging infrastructure and address impervious cover, which shows why runoff and sewer pressure remain a real concern for property owners.
  • Closely built blocks. All residents live in urban areas and the city counted 4,547 housing units, so a leak in one home can travel to a neighbor's wall or ceiling before anyone notices.
  • Vacant and quiet homes. In 2020, 9.6% of housing units were vacant and 24.9% of households were people living alone, so a slow leak can run unnoticed for days.

Handling the claim yourself

Homeowners can file directly with their carrier, and a documented file makes that easier. Report the loss promptly, keep receipts for emergency steps and hold on to damaged items until the adjuster has seen them.

Crews can explain what the records show, but the coverage decision stays between the owner and the insurer.

10 · FAQ

Common water damage questions

Q01

How soon should standing water be removed?

As soon as it is safe. Wet drywall, insulation and subfloors start to break down fast, and mold can begin growing in 24 to 48 hours, so early extraction limits how much must be torn out.
Q02

Does a ceiling leak need the ceiling opened?

Often, yes. A sagging or bulging ceiling holds water that can drop without warning, and opening it lets the crew drain the pocket and dry the cavity above it.
Q03

What makes sewage water different?

Sewage carries bacteria, so porous materials it touched are removed instead of dried, surfaces are disinfected and crews wear protective gear. Seven combined sewer outfalls make this a known local concern.
Q04

Can crews work with my insurance company?

Crews document the loss with photos, moisture logs and an itemized scope. That record goes to the adjuster, while the owner files and discusses coverage with the carrier.
Q05

What if the leak started in a neighbor's unit?

Report it to the building owner or landlord and call about the damage on your side. Water often moves through shared walls and ceilings, so readings on both sides of a wall matter.
Q06

Is drying equipment loud or disruptive?

Air movers and dehumidifiers hum for several days, and readings are taken on each visit. The equipment stays until the materials reach dry targets, then it is removed.
Q07

Do crews handle commercial buildings?

Yes. Shops, offices and institutional buildings get containment, extraction and drying plans built to limit downtime for staff, tenants and customers.
Q08

What should be kept for the claim?

Keep damaged items until the adjuster approves removal, save receipts for emergency costs and photograph the damage and the source before anything is moved.
Q09

Can frozen pipe damage wait until spring?

No. A cracked pipe can leak again as it thaws, and water already inside walls keeps soaking materials. Shut the supply, then call for extraction and drying right away.
Q10

Does a water heater leak count as a water loss?

It can. A failing tank may release a large volume across a utility area and nearby rooms, so shutting the water supply and calling promptly limits how far it travels.

Still have a question about your loss? A technician can talk through the water source, what is wet and the likely next steps before anyone is dispatched.
