The first 60 minutes after water damage are critical. Here's exactly what to do — and what to avoid.
Shut off the main water valve if it's a pipe. If it's storm-related, move to step 2. Don't enter standing water near electrical outlets.
Turn off breakers to any room with standing water. If the breaker panel is in the flooded area, call your utility company first.
Photograph and video all damage before touching anything. Your insurance claim depends on evidence of initial conditions.
Don't wait. In Hayden's climate, mold begins colonizing within 24–48 hours. The faster pros start extraction, the lower the total cost.
Move electronics, documents, and irreplaceable items to dry areas. Lift furniture off wet carpet with aluminum foil under the legs.

Call (844) 668-2858Not every water incident requires a restoration company. Here's how to tell the difference.
In Hayden, water damage costs typically start around $1,300 for minor issues, but once damage spreads beyond a single room or involves standing water that won’t quickly dissipate, expenses climb sharply. A washing machine hose rupture flooding the laundry area may be manageable alone, yet if water seeps into adjacent rooms or affects electrical outlets, the situation escalates beyond basic cleanup. Homeowners often underestimate how rapidly moisture migrates through porous materials, which can lead to mold growth and structural weakening if not addressed promptly.
When water enters your home through more complicated scenarios—such as a collapsed sump pump after spring snowmelt or sewage backup from a cracked toilet supply line—the risk and cost increase substantially, frequently surpassing $5,500. Handling these events without professional intervention can prolong exposure to moisture and contaminants, risking further damage. Similarly, if you notice persistent dampness days after an incident or detect odors suggestive of hidden water intrusion, these are clear signs that specialized assessment and equipment are necessary.
Professionals certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) bring expertise and tools—like industrial-grade dehumidifiers and thermal imaging—to thoroughly dry affected areas and minimize long-term damage. Their capabilities go beyond what typical household equipment can achieve, safeguarding your home’s value and your family’s health. In Hayden’s climate, where freeze-thaw cycles and spring flooding pose ongoing challenges, partnering with qualified experts ensures timely, effective mitigation. For homeowners facing these complexities, connecting with a local, certified restoration team is a practical step to protect your investment and avoid compounding repair costs.
