Water Damage Restoration Services
When it comes to water damage, speed is critical, perhaps more so than in any other type of property damage situation. Quickly starting the water extraction process with advanced drying equipment can help limit further damage, such as mold growth, which is why an experienced damage restoration company like Reynolds Restoration Services should be your first call.
Water damage can come from a variety of sources and may overlap with other types of damage. During a fire, for example, water damage occurs after firefighters hose down the area, while storm damage can flood a basement in no time. Other causes include flooding from bodies of water, broken or burst pipes, and leaking or overflowing appliances. Water damage can affect many parts of a home or business, including structural components like drywall and electrical wiring and the building’s contents, such as upholstered furniture and equipment.
No matter how water damage affects your space, Reynolds Restoration has the tools and expertise to fix it quickly and completely. Our in-house water emergency restoration experts will tailor the recovery process to your location’s needs and can help you get back to normal as soon as possible.

Water & Flood Damage Restoration FAQs
Should I hire a restoration company or handle water damage myself?
Professional restoration is strongly recommended for any water loss exceeding a few gallons. Water damage requires immediate action: the first 24 hours are critical. Standing water infiltrates flooring, carpeting, and drywall, causing structural issues and leading to dangerous mold growth and bacterial contamination. Professional restoration companies have water extraction equipment (extraction units, portable flood pumps, high-volume vacuums), commercial-grade fans, and desiccant dehumidifiers to quickly remove water and dry structures. They follow professional protocols for drying and sanitizing, preventing mold infestation. DIY efforts with household equipment cannot achieve the drying speed or dehumidification needed. Professional companies can save thousands of dollars in long-term damage and prevent health hazards by addressing water damage immediately.
What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts in my home?
If a pipe bursts, your first action is to shut off the main water supply immediately to stop water flow and minimize damage. Locate your main water valve (typically in the basement, crawl space, or near the front of your home). For a wheel valve, turn clockwise; for a lever valve, turn perpendicular to the pipe. Once the water is shut off, begin removing standing water using mops, wet-dry vacuums, or towels. Set up fans to encourage drying, wipe water from furniture, and remove objects from floors. However, for burst pipes causing significant water flow or damage to multiple areas, call professional restoration services immediately at 1-888-277-8280. The first 24 hours are critical for preventing mold growth, so professional water extraction and dehumidification equipment are essential.
How do I prevent flood damage to my basement?
Basement flooding can occur from heavy rain, burst pipes, overflowing appliances, or nearby water bodies. Preventive measures include maintaining gutters and downspouts to direct water away, ensuring proper grading around your foundation, installing a sump pump, and sealing cracks in basement walls and floors. However, even with prevention, basement floods can happen unexpectedly. If flooding occurs, the first step is to shut off electrical power to affected areas for safety. Remove standing water quickly. The longer water sits, the more damage occurs and the higher the risk of mold growth. Professional water restoration services use specialized extraction equipment and dehumidifiers to remove water and dry structures quickly. Act within the first 24 hours and call 1-888-277-8280 for emergency flood damage restoration.
