Signs to look for
When to call us for apartment water cleanup
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Damp along the baseboard with nothing wet in your unit
After you describe the problem, water tracking along the base of a shared wall is usually coming from a neighboring unit or a line inside that wall.
Your downstairs neighbor knocks about their ceiling
After you describe the problem, that means water left your unit, and the source is usually a tub, a toilet, a washer or a supply line inside your walls.
The corridor carpet outside your door is dark
For a practical next step, hallway water often comes from a corridor riser, a sprinkler line or a unit further down the run.
A light fixture or bathroom exhaust drips
For a practical next step, water arriving through an electrical fixture means it has crossed live components above your ceiling.
Maintenance has been in twice for the same spot
Room by room, a repeat visit means the surface was addressed and the wet material behind it was not.
What happens
How we handle apartment water cleanup
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
A plain explanation of who authorizes what
After you describe the problem, you can authorize work on your own belongings without asking anyone.
Your own dated record of the loss
To help your home recover, photos, moisture readings and a written summary go to you, not only to the office.

Extraction and pump out of your unit
Room by room, portable extractors reach through apartment doors, corridors and stairwells where a truck line cannot.
Contents cleaning, drying and storage
To help your home recover, salvageable soft goods, furniture and boxed items are dried and cleaned rather than written off by default.
Tracing the water back to the source unit
To help your home recover, we meter upward and sideways with a moisture meter and thermal imaging to find where the water actually originated.

Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
