Flooded floor or soaked ceiling? Get connected to a restoration provider.
After a leak or flood, timing matters. Wet drywall, flooring and cabinets can be ruined if they stay wet, and the EPA notes mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours. Our line connects you with a participating water damage provider in your area.

Describe what's happening when you're connected. The provider will tell you whether it's something they handle and what the next step is.
Water extraction
Removing standing water with pumps and truck-mounted or portable extractors.
Structural drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers, with moisture readings until materials are dry.
Flooded basements
Water from heavy rain, sump pump failure or groundwater.
Ceiling and wall leaks
Damage from failed supply lines, appliance leaks or roof leaks.
Sewage backups
Contaminated water that needs protective equipment and proper disposal.
Mold concerns
Inspection and remediation where moisture has lingered.
First steps after water damage
- Stop the source. Close the main water shutoff if a pipe or appliance is leaking.
- Switch off power to wet areas only if you can reach the breaker panel from a dry spot.
- Photograph everything before cleanup begins, for your insurance claim.
- If it is safe, lift rugs, furniture and electronics off wet floors.
- Call your insurance company to open a claim.
Safety first: Avoid contact with sewage or flood water, which can carry bacteria, and never walk through standing water that may be in contact with electricity.
Choosing a provider with confidence
Look for IICRC certification
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification publishes widely used standards for water damage restoration.
Ask about insurance billing
Some providers bill your insurer directly. Ask how they handle claims and what you'll owe.
Ask for drying records
Moisture readings and drying logs document the job, and insurers often request them.
Understand the scope
Ask what will be removed, what will be dried in place, and who handles rebuilding afterward.
Frequently asked questions
Who will I be speaking with?
Your call is routed to an independent water damage restoration provider that participates in our network and serves your area. KBHomeFix doesn't employ technicians or perform any work.
Does it cost anything to call?
No. Calling our referral line is free. Participating providers, or the call networks that represent them, pay us a marketing fee for connected calls. Any charge for work, diagnostics or visits comes from the provider, so ask about pricing first.
How long does drying take?
Often several days, depending on how much water there was, which materials were affected and the conditions. Equipment stays until readings show materials are dry.
Will insurance cover water damage?
Many homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental water damage, while flooding from outside usually needs separate flood insurance. Check your policy.
Does wet drywall always have to come out?
Not always. A provider will measure moisture and decide whether drying in place or removal is appropriate.
