frequently ask questions
What are the first steps I should take after discovering water damage?
Safety comes first. Ensure the area is safe to enter, turn
off the power if necessary, and then locate the source of
water to prevent further damage. After safety measures are
in place, contact National Water Damage Restoration of New
Jersey to assess the damage and begin restoration.
How quickly can mold develop from water damage?
Mold can start to grow within 24 to 48 hours in the right
conditions. It is essential to address water damage
promptly to minimize the risk of mold developing and to
ensure a healthier living environment.
Will my insurance cover the cost of water damage restoration?
Most homeowner's insurance policies do cover water damage,
but it depends on the cause. Flood damage caused by a
natural disaster, like a major rainstorm, will often be
covered. Damage due to a mechanical failure, such as a
burst pipe, isn't covered as often. Our team at National
Water Damage Restoration of New Jersey will work closely
with your insurance provider to streamline the claims
process.
How long does the restoration process take?
The time frame for restoration varies depending on the
severity of the damage. Our goal is to work quickly and
efficiently, restoring your property to its pre-loss
condition with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Can water damage cause structural issues to my home?
Over time, excessive water can compromise the structural
integrity of a building. We evaluate the extent of damage
and provide necessary repairs to ensure the safety and
stability of your home.
