- Shut off the main. Outside, street side of the house, usually within 10 feet of where the water service enters. If you can't find it, call dispatch and the agent walks you through it.
- Cut power to wet rooms at the breaker. Never reach into a flooded room to flip a switch.
- Photograph everything before moving items. Wide shots of each room, close-ups of damage, the source. This is your insurance evidence.
- Move dry valuables. Lift wood furniture onto blocks or aluminum foil to stop wicking and staining.

What we do on-site
Mitigation is what we do. A licensed plumber fixes the pipe itself. Reconstruction (drywall, paint, flooring) happens after our drying log closes out.
Our scope on a Long Beach mold remediation call:
- Truck-mounted water extraction (anywhere from a few gallons to thousands)
- Moisture mapping with thermal imaging and pin-meter readings
- Selective drywall and baseboard removal where moisture is trapped
- Carpet pad removal and pulled-up carpet for under-pad drying
- Industrial air movers and desiccant dehumidifiers, running 3 to 7 days
- Antimicrobial treatment when category 2 or 3 water is involved
- Daily moisture re-checks documented for the insurance file
- Final clearance reading before equipment removal

- Sudden = covered. A pipe that was fine yesterday and burst today is the definition of "sudden and accidental."
- Mitigation is required. Your policy literally requires you to call a restoration company immediately. Calling us protects your claim.
- We document to adjuster standard. Moisture readings, photos, scope. The carrier rarely pushes back on a properly documented mitigation invoice.
- Direct billing. You don't pay us, then chase reimbursement. We invoice the carrier; you pay your deductible.
