What To Do Immediately
- 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
- Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance documentation
- Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or emergency supplies you purchase
- Note the approximate time the water damage started, for your insurance claim
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 walk through standing water if you suspect it may be electrically charged
- Do not use a household vacuum to remove standing water
- Do not assume carpet padding can be saved once it has been soaked for more than a few hours

Frequently Asked Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Ohio?
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.
Is emergency water damage service available at night or on weekends in Johnstown?
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 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 Johnstown 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.
Will a restoration company in Johnstown 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.
