Common Questions

Water Damage FAQ for Picacho Hills

Will my homeowner's insurance cover water damage?
Most New Mexico policies cover sudden and accidental damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, storm intrusion. Gradual leaks and deferred maintenance are typically excluded. Your state deadline: 4 years.
Why does Picacho Hills's climate make water damage worse?
In Picacho Hills's climate, wet materials dry much slower than in drier regions. Mold can colonize within 24–48 hours. Consumer dehumidifiers extract 2–3 gallons/day vs. 30+ from industrial units — professional equipment is essential.
How quickly can a restoration team get to my Picacho Hills home?
Most Doña Ana County restoration companies offer 24/7 emergency response with typical arrival times of 30–90 minutes. During peak storm season, demand can push response times longer — calling early matters.
How do I verify a Picacho Hills contractor is legitimate?
New Mexico requires active licensing — New Mexico RLD — General Contractor license (GB-2 or GB-98). Also look for IICRC certification, which confirms training in water damage restoration protocols.
What determines the cost of water damage restoration?
Four factors: (1) water source category (clean vs. sewage), (2) affected area size, (3) materials impacted (carpet vs. hardwood vs. drywall), and (4) response speed. In Picacho Hills, the 1.5× local cost multiplier also applies.
