Water damage help in Oklahoma City

Common causes

• Burst or leaking supply lines, often after a hard freeze
• Water heater, washer, dishwasher or ice-maker leaks
• Roof leaks and storm runoff

What a restoration provider usually does

1. Finds and stops the source, or coordinates with a plumber
2. Extracts standing water
3. Measures moisture and sets up drying equipment
4. Removes materials that can't be dried
5. Documents the work for your insurance claim

Questions to ask any provider

• Are you licensed and insured? Can I see proof?
• Will I get a written estimate before work starts?
• Will you work with my insurer and give me moisture readings and photos?

Flooding from outside, like rising water, is usually covered by flood insurance, not standard homeowners policies (FEMA / FloodSmart). Check your flood zone at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (check your flood zone).
