Answers to the most frequently asked restoration questions from Cortland property owners.
Most homeowners insurance policies in Cortland cover sudden and accidental water damage such as burst pipes and appliance failures. Gradual damage from neglected maintenance is typically excluded. We work directly with all major insurance carriers in New York, handle the documentation and adjuster coordination, and bill your insurer directly so you can focus on getting your life back to normal.
First, stop the water source if you can safely do so — shut off the main water valve or the appliance causing the leak. Then call a certified restoration company immediately. In Cortland, NY, our team responds within 60 minutes to begin water extraction and prevent secondary damage like mold growth. Do not use household vacuums on standing water and avoid walking on wet carpet when possible.
Water damage restoration costs in Cortland typically range from $1,200 to $5,000 for standard residential projects and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for extensive damage. Factors include the category of water (clean, gray, or black), the affected area, materials damaged, and whether mold remediation is needed. We provide free on-site assessments with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.
It depends on the severity and category of the water damage. Minor Category 1 incidents in Cortland homes often allow you to remain in unaffected areas while we work. However, for extensive damage or Category 3 black water situations, we may recommend temporary relocation for your safety. Our team coordinates with your insurance company on additional living expenses if displacement is necessary.
Untreated water damage in Cortland properties can lead to mold growth that causes respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and asthma aggravation. Category 2 and 3 water introduces bacteria and pathogens that pose immediate health risks. Our IICRC-certified restoration process eliminates these hazards through proper extraction, antimicrobial treatment, dehumidification, and air filtration using HEPA-equipped scrubbers.
Yes. Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, especially in the warm, humid conditions common in many New York communities. In Cortland, we address mold risk proactively by deploying commercial dehumidifiers and air scrubbers immediately during the water extraction process. If mold is already present, our IICRC-certified technicians perform full remediation following industry protocols.
