Water Damage Moves Fast in Salem Homes

Salem’s long rainy season and older housing stock make water damage a constant threat. Whether it’s a burst pipe, basement flood, or storm runoff, water begins damaging your home immediately. Carpets, drywall, and subfloors soak up moisture within hours. By the next day, wood flooring can buckle and mold spores begin spreading. Insurers know these timelines, which is why they require prompt, professional mitigation and documentation. Delays or DIY fixes often lead to denied claims.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Complete Moisture Mapping

Infrared and pin/pinless meters reveal hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and in ceiling cavities. A detailed moisture map becomes the baseline for both your drying strategy and your insurance file.

Industrial Drying

Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously to accelerate evaporation while preventing secondary damage. We verify progress with daily readings to IICRC S500 targets.

Contents Protection

Furniture and belongings are lifted, wrapped, or relocated; items are inventoried and photographed to support your claim and speed restoration.

Claim Documentation

Time-stamped photos, moisture logs, equipment records, and daily reports meet insurer requirements and help prevent delays or disputes.

DIY Drying Won’t Save Your Claim

Fans and shop-vacs only dry surfaces. Moisture left in framing, insulation, or subfloors resurfaces later. Adjusters ask for professional drying logs—without them, many Salem homeowners see claims denied. Our crews bring calibrated meters, full logs, and the paperwork insurers need.
