- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Move rugs and loose textiles off wet flooring to prevent further saturation
- Remove or elevate valuable items and furniture where possible
What Not To Do

Frequently Asked Questions
Is emergency water damage service available at night or on weekends in Knoxville?
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.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Tennessee?
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.
Will a restoration company in Knoxville 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's the difference between water damage restoration and mold remediation in Knoxville?
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.
Can water damage lead to mold in Knoxville 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.
