Shut off the water

Find your main shut-off valve. In most Kirkland homes it sits in the garage, the crawl space hatch area, or where the water line comes in. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
Do not walk through water near outlets or cords. If water is near the panel or a ceiling is sagging, leave the room and turn off power at the breaker only if you can stay dry.
Snap pictures of the water, the source, and anything wet. Your insurance company will ask for them. Do not throw out damaged items yet.
Move rugs, electronics, papers, and photos to a dry spot. Put foil under furniture legs so wood stain does not bleed into wet carpet.
Water damage is a race against the clock. Clean water from a pipe gets dirtier the longer it sits, and wet wood and drywall start to break down fast. Here is what usually happens if no one dries it out.
Water soaks into carpet pad, runs under baseboards, and wicks up into drywall. Paper, books, and furniture legs start to swell.
Hardwood floors start to cup. Drywall gets soft. A musty smell shows up. Metal can start to tarnish.
The EPA says mold can begin growing on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. In our damp climate, it often does.
Subfloors rot, insulation holds water, and mold spreads behind walls. A drying job can turn into a rebuild. Calling early is the cheapest choice.
From a leaking dishwasher to a flooded basement, we handle the cleanup, the drying, the mold, and the rebuild. You only make one phone call. See all water damage services, or jump to the one you need below.
When water is still coming in, we stop the damage first. Truck-mounted pumps and wet vacs pull out standing water. Then we set up air movers and dehumidifiers.
Most indoor water damage starts with something you own. A worn hose, a rusted tank, or a stuck toilet valve. We clean up the mess and help you find the cause.
Each part of a home dries differently. Hardwood needs slow, steady drying. Crawl spaces need venting and vapor control. We treat each one the right way.
Left-behind moisture leads to mold and that musty smell. We test, remove, and clean the air so your home feels fresh and healthy again.
Once everything is dry, we put your home back together. New drywall, paint, flooring, and trim. We also pack out and clean your belongings.
When water moves between units or shuts down a shop, more people are involved. We work with owners, HOA boards, and property managers to keep everyone informed.
A floor can feel dry on top and still be soaked underneath. That is how mold starts weeks later. Our technicians use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and a written drying log to track every wet wall and floor until it hits its dry goal. We follow the IICRC S500 standard for water damage restoration, the same guide insurance adjusters use.
Real people answer, day or night. No phone tree. You talk to someone who can send a crew.
Clear pricing. We explain the work and the cost before anything beyond emergency water removal begins.
One team from wet to finished. Cleanup, drying, mold, and repairs. No juggling five contractors.
Water does the most harm in the first few hours. That is why our phones never go to voicemail and our trucks stay loaded.
You get daily moisture readings. We only remove equipment when the numbers say your home is truly dry.
We treat wet framing and hidden cavities with antimicrobial products so mold has nothing to grow on.
Photos, moisture maps, and itemized notes your adjuster can use. Less back-and-forth for you.
Shoe covers, floor protection, and clean work areas. We treat your home like our own.
We know Kirkland's older ramblers, lakefront homes, and Totem Lake condos. Local know-how means faster, smarter fixes.
No surprises. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough.
Tell us what happened. We ask a few quick questions, give safety tips, and send a crew the same day.
We stop the water, then use meters and thermal cameras to map every wet area, even inside walls. If needed, our leak detection pinpoints hidden leaks.
Powerful pumps and extractors pull water out of carpet, pad, and floors. Fast water extraction cuts drying time in half.
Air movers and commercial dehumidifiers run day and night. We check readings every day and adjust the setup.
We sanitize affected areas, treat for mold, and remove odors. For dirty water, we follow strict safety steps for sewage cleanup.
We replace what had to come out, from drywall to floors, then walk through it with you. Learn more about reconstruction.
Kirkland sits right on Lake Washington, and our rainy season runs from fall through spring. That mix brings its own kind of water trouble. After working in homes across the Eastside, here is what we see most.
Many homes in Rose Hill and Kingsgate were built in the 1960s and 1970s with crawl spaces. Heavy rain soaks the soil, and water seeps in. It sits there quietly until the floors smell musty. Our crawl space drying service fixes that.
On slopes in Finn Hill and Bridle Trails, storm water flows toward foundations. When a sump pump fails, a flooded basement can follow in one night.
In Totem Lake and downtown Moss Bay, one leak upstairs can damage two or three units below. We help owners and HOAs sort out condo water damage fast.
A few times each winter, temperatures drop below freezing. Pipes in garages, attics, and outside walls can split. That is when burst pipe calls spike.
Filing a water damage insurance claim can feel like a second job. We take most of that work off your plate. We document the damage from day one and share it with your insurance adjuster.
Photo records of every room, before, during, and after.
Daily moisture logs that prove what was wet and when it dried.
Itemized estimates in the format most insurers use.
Direct talks with your adjuster, so you are not stuck in the middle.
Good to know: Most homeowners policies cover water damage that is sudden and accidental, like a burst pipe or a water heater that splits. Slow leaks over time and outside flood water often are not covered. Flood coverage usually needs a separate flood policy. Read our insurance claim guide for details.
Every brand fails in its own way. A Rheem tank rusts at the bottom. An LG washer drain pump clogs. A Sub-Zero ice maker line cracks. We know where to look, and we clean up the damage they leave behind. See all brands.
We are an independent restoration company and are not affiliated with these manufacturers. We clean up and repair the water damage their products can cause.
We are based in Kirkland, so our crews reach every neighborhood fast. We also cover nearby cities along I-405 and around the north end of the lake. View all service areas.

(425) 592-3603We do not pack up our equipment because a calendar says so. We leave when your moisture readings reach their dry goal, and we show you the numbers. If a spot we dried shows moisture again from the same loss, we come back and make it right.
Plain answers to the questions we hear most, from the first hour to the insurance claim.
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most. Want more? Our water damage blog goes deeper.
We answer 24 hours a day, every day. For most homes in Kirkland, we send a crew the same day you call, and usually within a couple of hours. Traffic on I-405 and the time of day can change that, so we will give you a real arrival time on the phone.
Most policies cover water damage that is sudden and accidental, like a burst pipe or a broken supply line. Damage from slow leaks over months, poor upkeep, or flood water from outside is often not covered. Flood damage usually needs a separate flood policy. Your policy decides the details, and we can help you understand what the adjuster will look for.
Most homes take about three to five days to dry with professional equipment. Hardwood floors, thick plaster, and crawl spaces can take longer. We check moisture every day, so you always know where things stand.
Mold can start growing on wet materials in 24 to 48 hours. That is why fast drying matters so much. If you already see spots or smell something musty, our mold team can test and remove it safely.
First, shut off your main water valve. If a pipe is broken, you will need a plumber to fix it. Call us at the same time. We can start removing water and drying right away, so the damage stops spreading while the repair happens.
Most of the time, yes. With clean water in a few rooms, families usually stay home while the equipment runs. If the water came from a sewer backup, if a ceiling is sagging, or if water reached your electrical panel, it is safer to stay somewhere else for a while. We will tell you honestly what is safe.
Cost depends on how big the wet area is, how long it sat, what kind of water it is (clean, gray, or sewage), and what materials got wet. Carpet dries more easily than hardwood. Fast action almost always lowers the final bill. We explain costs before any work beyond emergency water removal starts.
Yes. You have the right to choose who works on your home. Your insurance company may recommend a vendor, but you can pick a local company you trust. We work with all major insurance carriers.
Every hour counts. Call now and talk to a real person who can send a crew the same day. Prefer to type? Send us a message and we will call you right back.
