What to do in the first hour

If water is near outlets, panels or appliances, stay out of the area and shut off power at the breaker only if you can reach it from a dry spot.
Stop the source: close the main water shutoff (usually where the line enters the house, or at the meter box near the street).
Photograph and video every wet room, ceiling stain and damaged item before anything is moved. Your insurer will ask.
Move valuables, electronics and rugs off wet floors. Put foil or wood blocks under furniture legs.
Call your homeowner's insurance claim line and write down the claim number.
Get drying started fast. Wet drywall and carpet pad can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, which is why fast drying matters.

Common questions

Is this a restoration company?

No. We are a free referral service. We connect you with an independent, local restoration company. That company gives you its own quote and is responsible for its work. We may be paid by the company for the referral.

How fast can someone come out?

Many restoration companies answer around the clock for active leaks. Response time depends on the company and the day; ask when you speak with them.

Will my insurance pay for this?

It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden, accidental water damage is commonly covered; gradual leaks and outside flooding often are not. Your insurer decides.

Referral service: Nashville Emergency Restoration is not a contractor. Your call goes to one independent local company that sets its own prices and is responsible for its own work and licensing; it may pay us a referral fee. Calls may be recorded.
