Water damage restoration for Edmond homes
Water damage in Edmond follows the weather. Spring brings hail, high wind and heavy rain, and May is often the wettest month of the year in central Oklahoma. Winter adds hard freezes and ice storms that split pipes in attics, garages and outside walls.
Inside the house, the usual causes are a failed water heater, a cracked washer hose, a loose toilet supply line or a dishwasher leak. Most Edmond homes are built on concrete slabs, so water travels under carpet pad, laminate and baseboards instead of draining into a basement.
When you call, you describe the water and where it came from. The restoration crew checks moisture with meters, gives a written estimate before work starts, then extracts the water and dries the house with air movers and dehumidifiers. Calls come in from across Edmond and from Bethany, Guthrie, Piedmont, Spencer, Jones and Nicoma Park.
- Shut off the main water valve before anything else; in many Edmond homes it is in the garage or at the meter box by the street.
- Clean water from a supply line can turn into gray water in about 48 hours, which changes what has to be thrown out.
- Wet carpet pad usually has to be replaced, while the carpet on top can often be dried and saved.
- Take photos of every wet room before cleanup starts; insurance adjusters ask for them.
