What To Do Immediately
- Call a restoration professional as soon as possible
- Take photos and videos of the damage for insurance documentation
- 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
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
What Not To Do
- 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
- 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

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.
Can water damage lead to mold in Harrisburg 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.
Will a restoration company in Harrisburg 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.
Do restoration companies serving Harrisburg 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.
What's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Harrisburg?
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.
