Frequently Asked Questions About Water Damage Cleanup & Drying
How quickly should I call for water damage cleanup?
Immediately. The faster water is removed, the less damage your property will suffer. Water can begin soaking into floors, walls, and structural materials within minutes. At Velocity Water Damage Restoration, we’re available 24/7 and typically arrive within 60 minutes anywhere in Ambler, Blue Bell, Horsham, Lansdale, Fort Washington, and nearby Montgomery County.
How long does it take to dry out a flooded home or basement?
Most water damage dry-outs take 3 to 5 days, depending on how much water is present, how quickly it was removed, and the materials affected. Our team uses industrial air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture monitoring tools to ensure your property is completely dry before we finish.
Do you handle mold removal or reconstruction after water damage?
No — and that’s by design. Velocity Water Damage Restoration specializes exclusively in water removal and structural drying. This focused approach means we respond faster and get the water out quickly without upselling additional services. Once drying is complete, you’re free to hire any contractor for repairs if needed.
Will my homeowners insurance cover water removal services?
In most cases, yes — if the water damage was caused by a sudden and accidental event like a burst pipe or appliance failure. We provide detailed drying reports and moisture documentation that support your insurance claim. Keep in mind that floodwater from outside sources usually requires separate flood insurance.
Can I clean up water damage myself?
While small spills can be handled with household tools, significant water damage requires professional equipment to fully extract water and remove hidden moisture. Without proper drying, water can remain trapped behind walls and under floors, causing long-term damage. Our team uses commercial-grade extractors and moisture meters to ensure nothing is missed.
