What To Do Immediately
- Call a restoration professional as soon as possible
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
- Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance documentation
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or panels
- Check with neighbors or a property manager if the source may affect shared plumbing
What Not To Do
- Do not attempt to dry out large areas with household fans alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet
- Do not assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing within 24–48 hours

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can a restoration crew respond in Lyme?
Response times vary by provider and current demand, but our network prioritizes rapid emergency dispatch for active water damage situations in Lyme and the surrounding area, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Lyme?
Costs vary widely based on the extent of the damage, the property type, and how quickly water is removed. Minor extraction and drying jobs may cost a few hundred dollars, while large-scale flood restoration involving structural repair can run into the thousands. Most restoration professionals provide an on-site assessment before starting work.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in New Hampshire?
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's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Lyme?
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 long does water damage restoration typically take in Lyme?
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.
