How Did Flood Waters Enter My Home?
- Heavy Rainstorms – Intense or prolonged rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems and seep into basements, crawlspaces, and lower levels of a home.
- Poor Drainage or Clogged Gutters – Blocked gutters, downspouts, or yard drains prevent water from flowing away from your property, forcing it toward the foundation.
- Sewer Backups – Overloaded or blocked municipal sewer systems can push contaminated water back into household drains and basements.
- Foundation Cracks or Weak Seals – Even small cracks or unsealed entry points in a home’s foundation or basement walls allow floodwater to enter.
- Nearby Water Sources Overflowing – Rivers, lakes, or creeks rising above their banks—or neighborhood storm drains overflowing—can send water rushing into homes.

Structural Drying Services
Structural drying is one of the most important steps in the water damage restoration process, designed to protect your property’s integrity after flooding, leaks, or other water intrusions. Excess moisture trapped in wood, drywall, flooring, or even the foundation can weaken structural components and create long-term problems such as warping, rot, or dangerous mold growth if not addressed quickly.
Our certified technicians use advanced equipment—including high-capacity dehumidifiers, industrial air movers, and moisture detection tools—to extract water and completely dry affected areas, even those hidden behind walls, ceilings, and under flooring. By eliminating excess moisture, structural drying not only preserves the safety and stability of your building but also prevents secondary damage, costly repairs, and potential health risks from mold and bacteria.
When performed correctly, professional structural drying ensures your home or business is fully restored, safe, and ready for occupancy—giving you peace of mind that your property is protected for the future.
Frequently Asked Questions | Cat 1 Water Restoration
Yes. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. When moisture sits behind walls, under flooring, or in insulation, it creates the perfect environment for mold spores to spread. Waiting too long to clean up water damage can lead to musty odors, structural issues, and health risks like allergies or respiratory irritation.
In most cases, yes—if the burst pipe and resulting water damage are sudden and accidental. Most homeowners policies cover water extraction, drying, and repairs caused by plumbing failures, but they usually exclude long-term leaks or neglect. Our team works directly with your insurance company to document the damage and simplify your claim so you can get restored faster.
Water mitigation is the emergency phase—it involves stopping the source of water, extracting standing water, and drying out the structure to prevent further damage or mold.
Full restoration is the rebuild and repair phase, which restores your property to its pre-damage condition—repairing drywall, flooring, insulation, and other affected materials.
At Cat 1 Water Restoration, our certified technicians handle both phases from start to finish, ensuring your home or business is completely safe and restored.
The cost varies depending on the size of the affected area, the amount of water, and how long the property has been wet. Minor water cleanup jobs might cost $500–$1,500, while larger flood or storm damage projects can range from $2,000–$6,000 or more. Every situation is unique, so we offer free on-site inspections and estimates to give you an accurate price upfront.

If it’s safe to do so, turn off the main water supply and electricity to the affected area. Remove valuable items, unplug electronics, and avoid walking on wet carpet or flooring. Don’t attempt to vacuum or remove water yourself—this can spread contamination or cause electrical hazards.
