Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common water damage and restoration questions from our expert team.
How quickly can you respond to a water emergency in Carbondale?
We're available 24/7 with local dispatch for Carbondale and Jackson County. Our typical arrival time is within 60-90 minutes of your call, ensuring that emergency mitigation begins as quickly as possible to minimize water damage to your property.
What is the difference between water mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation is the immediate emergency response focused on stopping water intrusion and preventing further damage. Restoration is the long-term repair and rebuild process. We handle both phases—first securing your property, then managing the complete restoration back to pre-loss condition.
Does insurance cover flooded basement cleanup in Carbondale?
Coverage depends on the water source. Flood water from storms may require separate flood insurance, while sewer backup is often covered by homeowner policies. We work directly with adjusters and provide photo documentation to help support your claim.
How long does the structural drying process take?
The structural drying process typically takes 3-5 days, though it varies depending on humidity levels and the saturation depth of materials. We monitor progress daily and adjust equipment as needed to ensure complete drying.
Can I save my carpets after a flood?
Carpets can sometimes be saved after clean water leaks if dried quickly. However, carpets exposed to sewage or standing water for extended periods are unlikely to be salvageable. We provide professional evaluation to determine the best course of action.
What are the signs of hidden water damage?
Look for musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, discoloration on walls or ceilings, and unexpectedly spiked water bills. These signs indicate water may be hidden behind walls or under flooring—exactly why our moisture mapping is essential.
Is your team IICRC certified?
Yes, our team is fully IICRC certified and adheres to S500 standards for water damage restoration. We maintain ongoing technician training to stay current with the latest restoration techniques and best practices.
What should I do immediately after a pipe bursts?
First, shut off your main water valve to stop water flow. Turn off electricity to affected areas to prevent shock hazards. Then call Eversafe immediately—we'll dispatch our team for rapid water extraction and mitigation.
