Is water damage restoration in Santa Fe, NM covered by insurance?

Gradual damage from slow, undetected leaks typically is not covered under standard policies. Flooding from external water sources requires separate flood insurance, usually through the NFIP or a private carrier. Our project managers are experienced working with Santa Fe, NM insurance claims and can review your policy with you and handle all communication with your adjuster directly.
How long does the drying process take in Santa Fe, NM?
Drying time is determined by the extent of moisture migration, the building materials affected, and the environmental conditions. Our equipment and protocols are designed to achieve complete drying as efficiently as possible. We never remove equipment based on a predetermined schedule โ we remove it when the moisture readings confirm every affected area is actually dry.
What should I do immediately after water damage in Santa Fe, NM?
Call us first, then document with photos while waiting for arrival. Turn off the water source at the shutoff valve if the leak is from plumbing. Don't use household fans โ they move surface air but don't dry building materials, and they can spread airborne mold spores if mold is present. Our crew will take over the full process from the moment they arrive.
Do you handle mold as part of water damage restoration in Santa Fe, NM?
We screen for mold on every job in Santa Fe, NM as part of our standard moisture assessment.
