What to Do After Water Damage
The first priorities are safety, stopping the water source when possible, and getting the affected property assessed and dried.
If it is safe to do so, shut off the appropriate water supply. Stay away from standing water where electrical hazards may exist, and do not enter areas that appear structurally unsafe.
Move valuable belongings away from affected areas when possible and take photographs or video of the damage for your records. Then contact a water damage restoration company to determine how much moisture is present and what needs to be removed, dried, cleaned, or repaired.
EPA guidance recommends drying wet or damp materials within 24-48 hours when possible to reduce the potential for mold growth.
Step by step

From inspection and water removal to drying, cleaning, and rebuilding, our process helps identify affected areas and restore your property.
Call (615) 832-5300-
Inspection and Assessment
Restoration begins with identifying where water entered the property, how far it traveled, and which materials may be affected. Visible water does not always show the full extent of the problem. Moisture can move underneath flooring, behind walls, into ceilings, and into other concealed areas.
-
Water Removal and Extraction
Standing water is removed using appropriate extraction equipment. Removing excess water helps prepare the property for the drying phase and can reduce continued exposure of materials to moisture.
-
Structural Drying
After extraction, affected areas need to be dried thoroughly. Depending on the situation, this may involve air movement and dehumidification equipment. The goal is not simply to make surfaces feel dry. Moisture levels need to be assessed throughout the affected areas to determine whether additional drying is required.
-
Moisture Monitoring and Documentation
Moisture documentation helps identify affected areas and track drying progress. This is particularly important when water has moved into materials that do not show obvious surface damage. Blue Chip Restoration includes moisture documentation as part of its water restoration services.
-
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Depending on the source of the water and the condition of the property, affected areas may require cleaning and sanitizing. The appropriate approach depends on the type of water and materials involved.
-
Restoration and Rebuilding
Water removal and drying are only part of the recovery process. Damaged drywall, flooring, walls, ceilings, or other materials may require repair or replacement. Blue Chip Restoration also provides restoration and rebuilding services, helping property owners move from emergency mitigation toward restoring the property.
Residential Water Damage Restoration
Water damage can affect kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, crawl spaces, utility areas, and other parts of a home.
Blue Chip Restoration helps homeowners in Franklin address problems such as burst pipes, plumbing leaks, appliance failures, standing water, wet flooring, damaged drywall, and storm-related water intrusion.
The correct restoration approach depends on the source, extent, and location of the damage. A professional assessment helps determine which materials can be dried and restored and which may need repair or replacement.
Commercial Water Damage Restoration
For businesses, water damage can affect both the property and day-to-day operations.
Commercial water restoration may involve larger affected areas, equipment, inventory, multiple rooms, and access considerations. Blue Chip Restoration provides water extraction, structural drying, moisture documentation, cleanup, restoration, and rebuilding for commercial properties.
For property managers and commercial owners, clear communication about affected areas and restoration steps can help keep the project organized from emergency response through repairs.
Hidden Water Damage and Mold Concerns
Water can remain hidden after visible standing water has been removed.
Moisture may be present behind drywall, underneath flooring, around cabinets, inside ceilings, or in other enclosed areas. Warning signs can include:
- Swollen or warped materials
- Discoloration
- Peeling paint
- Soft drywall
- Musty odors
- Persistent dampness
- Moisture appearing away from the original leak
Yes, water damage can also create conditions where mold grows. EPA guidance emphasizes moisture control and prompt drying as important steps in reducing mold growth.
For properties where mold has become a concern, Blue Chip Restoration also offers mold remediation in Franklin, TN.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Water Damage?
Coverage depends on the cause of the damage and the terms of the individual policy.
Homeowners should review their policy and speak with their insurance provider about coverage, deductibles, exclusions, and documentation requirements. Flood damage may be treated differently from certain plumbing or storm-related losses.
Keep photographs, videos, receipts, and other relevant records from the beginning of the restoration process.
When Should You Call a Water Damage Restoration Company?
Professional help is appropriate when water has affected building materials, created standing water, spread into hidden areas, or continues to cause moisture problems.
Consider contacting a restoration company when:
- A pipe has burst
- A large amount of water is present
- Water has entered walls or ceilings
- Flooring or carpet is saturated
- An appliance has leaked
- Storms have caused interior water intrusion
- A crawl space or lower level has flooded
- You cannot identify the full extent of the moisture
- Materials remain damp after cleanup
- You notice musty odors or other signs of persistent moisture
Early assessment can help identify the areas that need extraction, drying, cleaning, repair, or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should water damage be cleaned up?
As soon as possible. Prompt water removal and drying can help reduce ongoing moisture-related damage. EPA recommends drying wet or damp materials within 24–48 hours when possible.
How long does water damage restoration take?
The timeline varies based on the amount of water, affected materials, hidden moisture, drying requirements, and repair work. Extraction may be completed quickly, but drying and rebuilding can take longer.
What is the difference between water mitigation and restoration?
Water mitigation focuses on reducing immediate damage, such as removing standing water and drying affected areas. Restoration focuses on returning the property to its intended condition, including necessary repairs and rebuilding.
Can water-damaged flooring be saved?
Sometimes. The decision depends on the flooring material, amount and duration of water exposure, and overall condition. A professional assessment can determine whether drying and restoration are practical.
What happens if water gets behind drywall?
Moisture can remain hidden behind wall materials even after visible water is gone. The affected area may need moisture assessment to determine whether drying, removal, or replacement is appropriate.
Should I call a restoration company after a burst pipe?
Yes, especially when the pipe has released enough water to affect flooring, walls, ceilings, or other building materials. Prompt extraction and drying can help limit continued moisture exposure.
Can water damage affect the structure of a home?
Yes. Prolonged moisture can affect building materials and, depending on the circumstances, structural components. The extent depends on the location, duration, and severity of the water exposure.
What should I do if my basement or crawl space floods?
Prioritize safety, especially around electrical hazards or potentially contaminated water. Avoid unsafe standing water, address the source only when appropriate, document the damage, and contact a restoration professional for assessment and water removal.
