Louisville Water Damage Restoration Services

Many factors come into play to determine the final cost of your mitigation. Upon our initial inspection, if requested, we can estimate the cost of the water mitigation on the available information and measurements taken at that time. The final cost cannot be determined until the dry-out process is fully complete, as sometimes more materials may need to be removed, or we may run into fungal growth.

Many insurance policies cover water damage, but coverage can vary depending on the cause (storm, burst pipe, plumbing malfunction, localized flood, sump pump failure, etc.). We encourage you to call us so we can work with your insurance adjuster to make sure that the full scope of the claim is outlined and agreed upon from the start.

The duration depends on the types of materials that were affected by water. Drywall, carpet, and hardwood floors will take longer to dry than other materials. Rest assured that we do our best to finish any water damage clean up properly and efficiently.

The short answer is yes if the residence is safe. The safety of our customers and employees is our number one priority. Each case is different depending on the severity of the damage and is evaluated on its own problems. We help you to remain in your residence when feasible. However, if deemed hazardous, we can suggest to your insurance company to provide you with a temporary relocation. The drying equipment can be loud and usually must run for several days continuously during the drying period to achieve our drying goals. This is your personal decision. We do need to access the home each day of the drying process to monitor the equipment until the home is dry. We can set up a lock box if you will not be living in the home during this time.

We recommend leaving this to professionals, especially if the water contains contaminants. DIY methods can miss hidden moisture, which could lead to more damage later. Also, many insurance claims require documentation of the loss BEFORE any work is done, including removing the water. Always take plenty of photos of the damage you see before taking cleaning up the mess.

We will evaluate the damage and attempt to restore everything possible. A water damage restoration technician from ANR Restoration will help you sort through the property's contents to determine what can be safely dried, what can be restored by a textile/contents technician, and what can't be saved or salvaged.

Identifying the source of the water damage is one of the first steps in both the insurance claim process and before beginning to dry out and repair the damaged areas. We will pinpoint your water damage's exact cause and ensure the source is repaired. We make sure your restoration job is done right the first time.

Leaving sink cabinet doors open allows warm air to circulate pipes, which can help prevent them from freezing. Wrapping exposed pipes can also provide extra protection.

If your pipes are frozen but haven’t burst, apply gentle heat to the affected area using a space heater or hair dryer. Do not use an open flame.

Pipes running along exterior walls, especially below ground level, are prone to freezing and bursting during cold weather.

Temperatures 20 degrees Fahrenheit or less, sustained for three days or more, are likely to cause frozen pipes. If the weather is also windy, any temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit can also create a frozen pipe situation.

Inexpensive styrofoam spigot covers go a long way to prevent the adjacent plumbing from freezing, as well as draining any water from those faucets after shutting off their water supply inside the building. Most homeowners forget this important step, only to have their basements or crawl spaces flood in the spring when they turn their outdoor faucets on for the first time after winter.

When a pipe bursts, it can cause significant water damage, especially if the problem isn't addressed quickly. If you notice water damage from a burst pipe anywhere in your home, contact us immediately to address all damaged areas.

Our team will first turn off the water supply to prevent further flooding. Then, we’ll assess the damage and determine the best approach—whether it's a simple patch or if we need to repair or replace anything.

If your house is flooded due to a burst pipe, it’s important to act quickly. First, turn off the water supply and power to avoid electrical hazards. If it's safe, try to move valuable items and prevent the water from spreading. Then, give us a call—our emergency response team will be there as soon as possible to stop the leak, remove the water, and begin the cleanup process.

Preventing burst pipes involves regular maintenance, like insulating vulnerable pipes, ensuring proper water pressure, and keeping your home warm during cold months to avoid freezing. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it’s especially important to take precautions, such as letting faucets drip on very cold nights and making sure any exposed pipes are properly insulated.
