Water Emergency in Davie? What to Do Right Now

What should I do right now?

Before the crew arrives: stop the water at its source, stay clear of standing water near electricity, and photograph everything for your insurance claim. Then call RestorationXpress at (954) 932-5420.

1. Shut off the water. Close the main shut-off valve — usually where the water line enters the house, or at the fixture that failed.
2. Cut power to affected rooms. Only if you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water. If not, stay out and wait for help.
3. Stay out of contaminated water. Sewage backups and outdoor floodwater carry bacteria — do not wade through or touch it.
4. Document the damage. Take photos and video of every affected room before anything is moved. Your insurance adjuster will need them.
5. Move what you can. Lift furniture, rugs, and electronics out of the water if it is safe to do so.
6. Call (954) 932-5420. We will walk you through the rest and get a crew moving.

Will insurance cover this?

Sudden, accidental water damage — a burst pipe, appliance failure, or water heater leak — is typically covered by homeowners insurance. RestorationXpress works with all major carriers and bills your insurance company directly, so you are not stuck coordinating the claim alone.

Our crew documents the entire loss for you: photos, video, itemized damage notes, and daily moisture readings your adjuster can verify. You pay attention to your family and your home — we handle the paperwork with the carrier.

What happens when the crew arrives?

The crew's first job is to stop the damage from spreading: assess the loss, extract standing water, and get professional drying equipment running the same visit.

1. Damage assessment. We map how far the water has traveled using moisture meters — including inside walls and under floors.
2. Water extraction. Truck-mounted and portable extractors remove standing water immediately.
3. Removal of unsalvageable materials. Soaked carpet pad, drywall, and insulation that cannot be dried are removed and documented for your claim.
4. Structural drying. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers run continuously, monitored with daily moisture readings — typically three to five days.
5. Verification and restoration. Once materials test dry, we verify with final readings and move into repairs to bring your home back to pre-loss condition.
