FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve compiled and answered the most frequently asked questions about water damage clean up and restoration. If you have questions that you cannot find an answer to on this page, feel free to contact us.

GET IN TOUCH

What should I do immediately after I discover water damage to my home?

Turn off the water source if possible, disconnect electrical appliances, and contact a professional water damage restoration company like Hudson Valley Disaster Recovery (HVDR) immediately.

When it comes to water damage, quick action is important. Any delay will result in the damage getting worse over time and spreading to other areas.

For example, if there is a leak originating from an upper floor of the home, water will continue to move downward and cause damage to the floors below.

How quickly should I address water damage?

Water damage should be addressed within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth and further structural damage.

Contact Hudson Valley Disaster Recovery as soon as possible to mitigate damage and prevent mold growth.

Can I clean up water damage myself?

It may seem like a good idea to attempt a DIY approach to water damage mitigation and restoration, however, this may result in much bigger issues later on.

Consider these scenarios and numbers: A faucet that leaks at the rate of one drip per second can lose almost 17 gallons in a day. A toilet leak can release 19 gallons every five minutes.

You might think that the leak in your kitchen or bathroom is minor and attempt to take it on yourself. However, weeks down the road, you find that the water damage has spread to adjacent rooms and rooms below.

To make matters worse, at this stage, if you file an insurance claim, your insurer may decline to cover the damage caused by your delay.

Our advice, do it right the first time. Use a professional team to take care of any water damage to your home.

What are the common causes of water damage?

Common causes include burst pipes, leaking appliances, roof leaks, sewage backups, and natural disasters like floods.

How do you determine the extent of water damage?

HVDR uses moisture meters, infrared cameras, and other tools to detect hidden moisture and assess the full extent of the damage.

Generally, homeowners do not have these tools at their disposal and this is one of the reasons why it is important to contact professionals to deal with water damage.

Without using these tools, you simply would not know the true extent of the damage. You run the risk of thinking everything is ok, when in fact you have a much bigger disaster waiting to happen – mold infestation, structure collapse due to water damage, and more.

What equipment is used in water damage restoration?

Equipment includes industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, moisture meters, and thermal imaging cameras.

How long does the water damage restoration process take?

The duration depends on the extent of the damage but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Is water damage covered by insurance?

Many homeowner’s insurance policies cover water damage, but it’s best to check your specific policy details and contact your insurance provider.

If the cause of the water damage is a covered event, you have a duty to mitigate the damage as soon as you discover it.

Generally, insurance covers events that happen suddenly and accidentally. Meaning, damage from slow leaks that have been going on for months are not covered. On the other hand, damage from a burst pipe usually would be covered.

What are the health risks associated with water damage?

Health risks include mold growth, which can cause respiratory issues, and contaminants in floodwater that can lead to infections.

How can I prevent mold growth after water damage?

Ensure thorough drying, maintain low indoor humidity, and use mold inhibitors. Contact a professional restoration company to for proper mold remediation.

What should I do if I find mold after water damage?

Can water-damaged carpet be saved?

Depending on the extent of the damage and contamination, some carpets can be dried and cleaned, while others may need to be replaced.

Are hardwood floors salvageable after water damage?

Hardwood floors can often be dried and restored if addressed quickly, but severe or prolonged exposure causes the floor to warp and may require replacement.

If your home sustains water damage, contact Hudson Valley Disaster Recovery immediately. We can easily ascertain the true extent of water damage and identify which items are and are not salvageable.

How do you dry out walls after water damage?

We use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out walls. In some cases, sections of drywall may need to be removed to ensure thorough drying. Check out our gallery to see what water damage restoration projects look like.

What is the difference between water mitigation and water restoration?

Water mitigation involves stopping and preventing further damage, while water restoration focuses on repairing and restoring the affected property.

Do I need to leave my home during the restoration process?

It depends on the extent of the damage and the restoration process. Our restoration team will advise you based on the specific situation.

If you are filing an insurance claim, you may be able to claim for additional living expenses if you have to move temporarily because your home is uninhabitable.

Can electronics be saved after water damage?

Some electronics can be salvaged if addressed quickly, but it’s best to consult with professionals for an assessment

What are the signs of hidden water damage?

Signs include peeling paint, warped floors, mold growth, musty odors, and stains on walls or ceilings.

As soon as you spot any of these signs, contact HVDR immediately.

Also note, if something happens that involves water discharge for example: a burst pipe, an appliance leak, water coming in through the roof due to strong winds blowing off some shingles, contact HVDR immediately and do no wait to see any other signs of water damage.

How do you handle sewage water damage?

Sewage water damage requires specialized cleanup due to the health risks. We use protective gear, disinfectants, and proper disposal methods.

Why should I choose HVDR for water damage restoration?

HVDR offers prompt, reliable, and comprehensive water damage restoration services. Our experienced team uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure your property is fully restored and safe. We provide 24/7 emergency services and free estimates to give you peace of mind during challenging times.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

    
 
 
       I highly recommend HVDR for any extensive damage restoration issues. They came quickly when we had a leak coming from the upstairs bathroom, damaging the floors below. They were able to contain the issues and remove all of the damaged materials and left the area as neat as possible, with minimal disruptions for use. They are very professional and know what they are doing. They ensured that our home was ready to be restored and renovated. I would highly recommend them.
