Sudden water damage is usually covered in California. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss to the standard adjusters recognize, meaning the claim doesn't stall. What's covered
No. California law lets you pick your own restoration company. The list your carrier reads you is optional. How our billing works
Only what won't dry in place. We take moisture readings first and remove material when the readings say it can't be saved, not by default. What to expect
