No. We are not the insurance adjuster. We take photos and notes for your claim — you file with your carrier. Approval is their decision. We do not promise a payout.

Mold can begin in as little as 24–48 hours if water sits in floors, walls, or insulation. That is why we treat wet jobs as time-sensitive. It is not a service-level promise — it is how moisture behaves.

A silent sump during a Lafayette storm is how a finished basement becomes a wet one. Check power first: a tripped GFCI, a dead battery backup, or a float jammed on the pit wall. If the pit is full and the pump hums without moving water, the pump or the discharge line is the problem — a check valve stuck, a line frozen at the outlet, or a unit that reached the end of its life. Do not stand in standing water to diagnose a live pump. Wet-basement basics are simple. Stop new water if you can. Move what you can lift. Run a wet-vac only if it is safe and the power is dry. Then treat the remaining water as a timer. Mold can start in 24–48 hours in wet carpet and insulation. That is how moisture behaves, not a service-level promise. We handle homeowner-scale extraction, drying, and the carpenter work after — and we will say when the job is past a handyman crew. Call or text (765) 551-7368 while it is still wet. Send a photo of the pit and the wet area. Quotes are free. Storm triage and photo notes for your insurance file are on our storm water page. We are not the insurance adjuster. Longer mold or dry-out work continues on the water and mold landing. Same-day and next-day when we have a slot, with the locked urgency fees if you need that window.

Shut the water if you can reach the main or the fixture stops without walking through live electricity. Kill power to a wet room at the breaker if the floor is standing and you can do it from a dry panel. Catch what you can with towels. Then get out of the wet and call. A Lafayette freeze-burst is usually a vacant, a poorly heated crawl, or a line in an exterior wall after a cold night. The first job is stop the water. The second is dry. The third is the rebuild. Photograph the wet area for your file before everything is torn out — that is for your insurance claim, not ours. We are not the insurance adjuster. We do not file the claim and we do not promise the carrier will pay. We stabilize, extract, and leave photos, a scope, and moisture notes you can attach. Details sit on the storm water damage page. If the job becomes mold or a longer dry-out, continue on water and mold remediation. Call or text (765) 551-7368 while it is still wet. Quotes are free. Same-day and next-day when we have a crew, with the locked urgency add-ons — not a 24-hour guarantee. Mold can begin in 24–48 hours in wet insulation and drywall paper. That is moisture science, not a service promise.
