Contact Anson Water Restoration

What should you do before the crew gets to your Anson home?

Start by making the area safe, then cut off the water at the closest valve you can reach. You don't need to clean anything up before you call.

• Unplug nearby electronics only if the outlet and the floor around it are dry, and leave anything sitting in water where it is until the power is off.
• Shut off the water at the main valve if you can't find the source fast. Basement homes usually have it near the water meter where the service line enters.
• Water that rises out of a basement floor drain should be handled as contaminated, so stop running water in the house until the crew arrives.
• If a frozen pipe split, close the main valve before it thaws further, and skip open flames or heat guns on the pipe.
• Move rugs and electronics off the wet floor, and set squares of foil or plastic under furniture legs so the finish doesn't stain the carpet.
• The EPA's mold guide puts the drying window at 24 to 48 hours for water damaged areas and items, so the sooner the crew can start, the better your odds of keeping mold out.
• Hold off on permanent repairs until you've read your policy. The claim tips from the Indiana Department of Insurance explain why.

What should you have ready when you call Anson Water Restoration?

A few details on the first call help the crew plan the visit before they leave.

• Which fixture or pipe is leaking, or that you can't tell yet.
• Whether it's clean water from a supply line or water that came up from a drain.
• Which rooms in the finished basement are wet and whether the water reached the walls.
• Whether this happened overnight or in the last hour.
• Roughly when the house was built. Much of Anson went up in the 2020s, and the age points the crew toward likely trouble spots.
• If the water came from the unit above or next door, so we know whose plumbing to look at.
• Anything the crew needs to get in, like a gate code or where to park.

Answer what you can, and the crew will fill in the rest during the first visit.

What will the crew do first when they arrive?

They start where the water started, whether that's a supply line or a drain, and confirm it's stopped.

Next they map the wet area with moisture meters, because water travels under flooring and behind baseboards farther than it looks. Our crew takes the damage photos as they go and puts them into a photo report.

Our water restoration manager is IICRC certified. The IICRC is the standards body behind S500, its standard for professional water damage restoration, now in its Fifth Edition from 2021.

You'll see the photo report and the readings, and the crew will explain what they found so you can decide with your insurance company.

Once you give the go ahead, extraction and drying start. The crew comes back to check the readings and moves equipment as areas dry out.

Which details about Anson homes help the crew plan?

Homes in Anson are mostly from the 2020s, and in newer houses water damage usually traces back to an appliance or a sump pump. Finished basements are common here, so the crew checks behind finished walls and under carpet, where water hides. Cold snaps split pipes in exterior walls and unheated spaces, and the leak often shows up when the pipe thaws. Tell the person who answers what you know, and the crew will take it from there.
