Place aluminum foil under furniture legs to prevent staining if you can&#8217;t move them. For large, heavy items, wait for professionals who have the equipment and training to move them safely without causing further damage to your property or themselves.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq10\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq10\">How do I know if the water in my home is contaminated?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Consider the source: Clean water comes from broken pipes, rainwater, or other clean sources. If the water comes from washing machines, dishwashers, or toilet overflows (without feces), it&#8217;s considered gray water. Black water contains sewage, flood water from rivers\/streams, or water that has sat for over 48 hours. When in doubt, treat all water as contaminated and avoid direct contact.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq11\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq11\">Will my wet carpet need to be replaced?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Not necessarily. Professional water extraction and drying within the first 24\u201348 hours can often save carpeting affected by clean water. However, carpeting affected by contaminated water (Categories 2 and 3) generally needs replacement for health and safety reasons. Our technicians will assess your specific situation and provide recommendations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq12\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq12\">How long will it take for my property to dry completely?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Drying times vary based on the extent of water damage, materials affected, and environmental conditions. Most residential water damage situations require 3\u20135 days of professional drying, though larger losses may take longer. Our technicians use moisture meters to scientifically verify when materials have reached their dry standard.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq13\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq13\">Can I just use fans from home to dry everything out?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Household fans can help with minor, surface-level drying but aren&#8217;t sufficient for proper structural drying. They don&#8217;t remove moisture from the air (as dehumidifiers do) and can&#8217;t reach moisture inside walls, under flooring, or in other hidden areas. Professional equipment is calibrated to achieve balanced drying that prevents secondary damage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq14\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq14\">What should I do about wet documents or photographs?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>For valuable documents, photographs, or books, freeze them immediately to prevent further damage and mold growth. Place them in a ziplock bag and put them in a freezer until professional document restoration can be arranged. For the best results, contact RestoPros immediately, as document recovery is time-sensitive.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq15\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq15\">Will my insurance cover the water damage in my home?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>Most homeowner&#8217;s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like a burst pipe) but exclude damage from flooding or gradual leaks. Check your specific policy or contact your agent. RestoPros works directly with all major insurance companies and can help you navigate the claims process from start to finish.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"faq16\"><br \/>\n    <label for=\"faq16\">Can I stay in my home during the water damage restoration process?<\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\">\n<p>It depends on the extent and category of damage. For limited clean water damage, you may be able to occupy unaffected areas during restoration. For extensive damage or contaminated water, temporary relocation might be necessary for health and safety. RestoPros will advise you on the safest option for your specific situation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When water is pouring through your ceiling, seeping across your hardwood floors, or filling your basement, every minute counts.
