Why Speed Matters

Every Hour Counts After Water Damage

A burst pipe or appliance failure does not stay contained. Water wicks into drywall, subfloor and framing within hours, and mold can begin in 24 to 48. The faster we start, the more of your home we save, and the smaller your claim.

90-Minute Response

We answer 24/7 and arrive fast to stop the spread, because every hour of delay means more loss.

Extract & Structurally Dry

Truck-mounted extraction plus commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, monitored daily until your home is verified dry.

Stop Mold Before It Starts

Fast drying and antimicrobial treatment prevent the secondary mold damage that slow DIY drying invites.

Know What You’re Dealing With

The Three Categories of Water Damage

Not all water is the same. Following the IICRC S500 standard, we classify every loss before we begin, because the category drives how we make your home safe again.

1Clean Water

Category 1

From a supply line, tub overflow, or rainwater. Most materials can be dried and saved when we reach them quickly.

2Gray Water

Category 2

From a dishwasher, washing machine, or seepage. It carries contamination and needs antimicrobial treatment.

3Black Water

Category 3

From a sewage backup or river flooding. Grossly contaminated; porous materials are removed under strict safety protocols.

Questions & Answers

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

How fast can you respond to water damage?
We offer 24/7 emergency response and arrive on-site in 90 minutes or less across the Portland-Vancouver metro. Water damage spreads by the hour, so the sooner you call (360) 300-4111, the more of your home we can save.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or an appliance failure, is typically covered. Gradual leaks and long-term seepage are often excluded as maintenance issues, and overland flooding usually needs separate flood insurance. We document the cause precisely and bill your carrier directly. See our insurance claims guide.
How long does structural drying take?
Most homes are verified dry in three to five days, depending on how much water was absorbed and the building materials involved. We monitor moisture daily and do not pull the equipment until readings confirm the structure is fully dry, not just dry to the touch.
Can you prevent mold after a leak?
Yes. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours, so fast professional drying is the best prevention. We dry the structure completely and apply antimicrobial treatment where needed. If mold has already started, our mold remediation team handles it.
Do I have to use my insurer’s preferred contractor?
No. You have the right to choose your own restoration contractor, regardless of any “preferred vendor” your insurer suggests. RescueHero works for you, bills your carrier directly, and advocates for a complete, fair scope of repairs.
