Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Rumford, ME

Matching in Maine starts with two questions: where the property is and what kind of water loss it has. From there we connect the owner with an independent local contractor. America Water Damage does not perform the restoration or supervise it. Maine does not license or regulate home contractors, according to the state Attorney General. Instead, state law requires a written contract for home construction and improvement projects over $3,000, with terms that include a warranty statement and a limit on deposits of one third of the contract price. With no license to check, rely on that contract, proof of insurance, references and any complaint history held by the Attorney General's consumer protection division. Before work starts in Rumford, ME, ask the contractor for proof of liability insurance and a written scope. Insurance billing is arranged between you and the contractor, so confirm how they handle claims. We set no prices. The contractor quotes the job.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Rumford, ME homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
How quickly should I act after finding water damage?
As soon as you find it. Water keeps moving through flooring, drywall and wall cavities for as long as it is present, so the amount of damage is largely a function of how long materials stay wet. The US Environmental Protection Agency advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Acting early also means the loss is documented sooner, which helps if an insurance claim follows. You can contact us at any hour and we will connect you with a local contractor.
How soon can mold start after water damage?
Sooner than most people expect. The US Environmental Protection Agency says it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Warm, humid conditions and porous materials such as drywall, carpet pad and insulation make growth more likely. The EPA also suggests that moldy areas larger than about 10 square feet, or mold that follows extensive water damage, are a reason to consult a professional. Some states license mold work separately, so ask any contractor in Rumford, ME which credential covers it.
What are the categories of water damage?
The restoration industry commonly sorts water into three categories by contamination. Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source such as a supply line. Category 2 is water with significant contamination, for example from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water such as sewage or floodwater. The category matters because it changes what can be cleaned and kept and what has to be removed. Clean water can also degrade into a worse category the longer it sits, which is one more reason to act early.
What should I check before hiring a restoration contractor?
Check the credential that applies where you live, because the rules differ by state. Some states license contractors or require registration, some leave it to cities and counties, and a few license mold work separately. Ask for the license or registration number and verify it with the issuing body. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers compensation cover. Ask for a written scope of work before anything is removed. Many restoration firms also hold IICRC certification, which you can ask to see.
Do you set the price for the work?
No. We set no prices and play no part in the quote. The contractor you are matched with inspects the property and gives you their own estimate, and many contractors offer free estimates, so confirm that before booking. Because the price comes from the contractor, it is sensible to ask what the estimate includes, how changes to the scope will be handled and how insurance billing would work if you make a claim. If you want a sense of typical figures, published industry sources such as Fixr report national averages, but only an inspection produces a real number for your property.
