What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the water damage started, for your insurance claim
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
- Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or emergency supplies you purchase
- Remove or elevate valuable items and furniture where possible
- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
What Not To Do
- Do not assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- Do not attempt to dry out large areas with household fans alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not use electrical appliances in or near standing water

Frequently Asked Questions
Is emergency water damage service available at night or on weekends in Boys Town?
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.
Will a restoration company in Boys Town handle both water extraction and repairs?
Many restoration professionals offer both mitigation (water extraction and drying) and reconstruction (repairing drywall, flooring, and other damaged materials), which can simplify the process by keeping the entire job with one team.
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.
Can water damage lead to mold in Boys Town properties?
Yes — mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after a water event, particularly in humid conditions. Thorough extraction and structural drying, not just surface cleanup, is the most effective way to prevent mold growth after water damage.
Do restoration companies serving Boys Town 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.
