## Before Help Arrives — What to Do Right Now

If it's safe to do so, these 5 steps in the first 30 minutes can dramatically reduce your repair costs and protect your insurance claim.

1

### Shut Off the Water

Turn off the main water valve to stop the source immediately.

2

### Cut the Power

Switch off electricity to affected rooms — never wade through standing water near outlets.

3

### Move Valuables

Relocate furniture, electronics, and important documents to a dry area.

4

### Document Everything

Take photos and video of all damage for your insurance claim before cleanup.

5

### Call Us Now

The first 24–48 hours decide whether mold sets in. Don't wait — every hour compounds the damage.

Safety first: Never enter a flooded area if you suspect electrical contact, gas leaks, or contaminated water (sewage backup, basement flooding, frozen-pipe contamination). When in doubt, wait outside and call us first.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Real answers to the questions New York homeowners ask us most.

Do you handle basement flooding and sewer backup in New York?

Yes. NYC's aging sewer infrastructure means heavy rains regularly cause basement backups across all five boroughs and Long Island. We provide full Category 3 (black-water) cleanup with proper PPE and disposal under IICRC S500 standards.

What about frozen pipes during winter?

Common across New York every winter, especially in unheated basements, exterior walls, and seasonal homes. We extract water, dry the structure, and document the burst location for your insurance claim. Most homeowner policies cover sudden-discharge burst pipe damage.

Does my NY homeowner's insurance cover Sandy-style storm surge?

No. Standard homeowner policies in New York exclude flood damage, including coastal storm surge from hurricanes and nor'easters. Flood damage requires separate NFIP coverage — required for federally-backed mortgages in flood zones, recommended elsewhere.

Are you licensed in New York State?

Yes. New York City and most counties require contractor licensing. NYC requires Home Improvement Contractor licenses through DCWP. All contractors in our NY network hold appropriate local licenses plus IICRC certifications.

How fast can you arrive anywhere in New York?

Typically within 60 minutes in NYC, Long Island, Westchester, and the Capital Region. Within 90 minutes in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, or the Hudson Valley.

How fast do I really need to act after water damage?

Drywall wicks water within an hour. Hardwood floors cup in 12-24 hours. Mold becomes a serious risk between 24 and 48 hours. The faster you call, the less your insurance claim ends up costing.

What about mold in old NYC buildings?

Pre-war buildings with plaster walls, original woodwork, and limited ventilation are especially mold-prone after water damage. We follow IICRC S520 mold remediation standards with full containment to protect both your property and your neighbors.

Are you the contractor doing the work?

Rapid Water Recovery is a referral service. We connect you with independent, licensed local restoration contractors who perform all the on-site work. You'll get the contractor's license number before they arrive.

What does it cost? Do I pay you?

You don't pay us. Our matching service is free for New York property owners. Most insured losses are billed directly to your carrier — you only pay your deductible.

Is your line really 24/7 — even during a blizzard?

Yes. We dispatch through every weather event. During major storms, we prioritize based on emergency severity and arrival access. Our line is staffed by live operators 24/7/365.

### Still Have Questions?

Our dispatchers can walk you through your specific situation before you commit to anything.
