What To Do Immediately
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or panels
- Remove or elevate valuable items and furniture where possible
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Move rugs and loose textiles off wet flooring to prevent further saturation
- 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
- Do not attempt to dry out large areas with household fans alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Is emergency water damage service available at night or on weekends in Dover?
Restoration professionals in our network generally offer 24/7 emergency response, since water damage doesn't wait for business hours. Availability can vary by provider and current call volume.
What's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Dover?
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.
How quickly can a restoration crew respond in Dover?
Response times vary by provider and current demand, but our network prioritizes rapid emergency dispatch for active water damage situations in Dover and the surrounding area, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Missouri?
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.
