Question #3 For Water Damage Customers

12/1/2017 (Permalink)

Got a Water Damage? Here is another question our office staff may ask in preparation to dispatch a crew.

Question #3 – On what level did the loss occur?

                It is important to know which level of your home the loss occurred on.  Consider the following:  If the loss occurred on the second level of the house it probably went to the levels below.  Sometimes it can be minimal such as only affecting the ceiling below and other times it can affect multiple rooms below.  In some cases, the water damage can start on the second level and run down the exterior wall all the way down to the basement and the main level not be affected at all.  Or perhaps the loss occurred on the main level and you have a crawlspace underneath.  If the water went down to your crawlspace the insulation may be affected and even fall to the ground with all the weight of the water.  Knowing what loss the level started on will help our crews bring the proper supplies and equipment needed to restore your home as quickly and efficiently as possible.
