The list below is ordered roughly the way the calls come in. Winter brings frozen and split lines and ice dams, spring and summer bring storm water and river rises, and the drains back up whenever a heavy storm overloads them. Start with the page that matches the water you can see.
Every service page covers the same sequence: the first steps, what the readings show, what is removed and what is kept, and what is left for a trade to repair. The details differ between an older plaster house and a newer drywall one, and the pages say where.

Estimates only. Your price is confirmed on site before work starts. See the full price guide.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.
The restoration work can help you find the source and close the valve, and it can record where the line runs. Repairing the pipe is a plumber's job, and the record is written so the plumber does not have to search for it.
Start with the water you can see. Standing water in a basement is covered on the extraction page, and a ceiling stain is covered on the ice dam and plaster pages.
The flooded basement and the extraction pages cover that loss. The river flood page covers water from the Little Calumet, and the sump and drain pages cover a pump or a backup.
Drying and removal of wet material are part of the service, and the mold page explains how growth starts and what to ask before any testing or removal.
