24/7 emergency water mitigation
Emergency Water Extraction & Mitigation
Standing water and hidden moisture need a measured response. Renova assesses the affected areas, extracts water where appropriate, documents conditions and plans the next drying steps.

A complete response
The water you see may not be the full loss.
Water can move beneath flooring, behind baseboards, into wall cavities and through insulation. Our assessment looks beyond the visible surface so the drying plan is based on measured conditions—not guesswork.
For indoor flooding caused by a plumbing failure, appliance leak or storm-related water intrusion, Renova can assess standing water, affected materials and the extraction and drying needs. If floodwater came from outside or may contain sewage, keep people and pets away and call for guidance before entering.
Every loss is different. We explain what appears affected, what needs immediate attention and which materials may require access or removal before work moves forward.
Water extraction
Remove standing water where appropriate and begin controlling the affected environment.
Moisture detection
Use meters and thermal imaging to investigate suspected moisture beyond what is visible.
Controlled removal
Access or remove unsalvageable materials when the documented conditions require it.
Structural drying
Place air movement and dehumidification equipment according to the affected materials.
Reconstruction
Prepare a separate repair scope for drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets, paint and build-back.
Documented field work
We measure, photograph and explain.
These are real Renova project conditions—not stock photography. Documentation helps define the affected materials and supports a clear restoration plan.

Insurance documentation
Useful records without coverage promises.
Renova can provide job-site photographs, moisture readings, drying records and an authorized work scope for you or the adjuster to review. Your insurance company decides coverage under your policy; Renova documents the restoration work.

How quickly should water damage be inspected?
As soon as it can be done safely. Water may continue moving into nearby materials even after the visible source stops. Early assessment helps identify immediate protection, extraction and drying needs.
How long does structural drying take?
The timeline depends on the amount of water, the materials affected, environmental conditions and measured drying progress. We monitor the conditions rather than promising the same number of days for every property.
Does wet drywall always need to be removed?
Not always. The water category, duration, material condition, access and moisture readings all matter. We explain what may be dried in place and what may require removal based on the job conditions.
Can Renova handle repairs after mitigation?
Yes. Renova can prepare a separate reconstruction scope for drywall, flooring, paint, trim, cabinets and other affected finishes after the mitigation needs are understood.
Will my insurance pay for the work?
Coverage depends on the cause of loss, your policy and the insurance company’s decision. We document our observations and authorized work, but we do not decide coverage or promise claim payment.
