What To Do Immediately
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Move rugs and loose textiles off wet flooring to prevent further saturation
- Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance documentation
- Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or emergency supplies you purchase
- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
What Not To Do

- Do not walk through standing water if you suspect it may be electrically charged

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does water damage restoration typically take in Matheson?
Timelines depend on the extent of the damage. A contained leak with prompt extraction might dry out in 3–5 days, while larger floods affecting multiple rooms or floors can take one to two weeks, especially if structural materials like drywall or subflooring need to be replaced.
What's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Matheson?
Water damage restoration focuses on extracting water, drying structures, and repairing affected materials. Mold remediation is a separate, specialized process for removing existing mold growth. Addressing water damage quickly is the best way to avoid needing mold remediation later.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Colorado?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Sudden and accidental events like a burst pipe are often covered, while damage from long-term neglect typically is not. A restoration professional can help document the damage to support your claim, but you should always confirm coverage details with your insurance provider.
What should I do while waiting for a restoration crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, avoid electrical hazards, and move valuables away from the affected area. Avoid using household equipment not designed for water removal, and don't delay — the longer water sits, the greater the risk of structural damage and mold growth.
Do restoration companies serving Matheson work directly with insurance companies?
Many restoration professionals in our network are experienced in documenting damage and communicating with insurance adjusters, which can help streamline the claims process. Final claim decisions are always made by your insurance provider.
