If you own a home or business in the Bay Area — especially if you are in a flood zone — you should be constantly prepared to respond to a flood. The weather in the region can result in flooding from heavy rain and there are several factors inside your home or building such as plumbing leaks, pipe bursts, overflows, and sewage backups that can also result in indoor flooding. Standing flood water can result in considerable damage and mold growth which can cause even further property damage and health issues.

Our technicians will thoroughly dry all affected materials and sanitize the area to restore it to a safe condition.
ServiceMaster DRR has a team of highly trained flood damage restoration professionals that have over 35 years of combined experience. We will thoroughly extract all flood water from your home or office and remove all moisture from the affected materials using our advanced water extraction and drying equipment. We can effectively dry out furnishings, structural elements, and other objects with our air movers, dehumidifiers, and floor mat systems. Flood water can quickly spread through porous building materials to cause structural damage and mold growth so do not hesitate to react to indoor flooding. Our flood damage cleanup services also include content cleaning and carpet and upholstery cleaning if necessary.
These tips can help you limit some of the damage caused by indoor flooding:
- Mop or blot dry to remove water, do not try to remove water with a vacuum cleaner.

- Turn off the electricity before walking into a room with standing water.
- Leave the removal of permanent carpeting or flooring to the professionals.

Our advanced equipment allows us to completely remove sewage water and we will also clean and disinfect the affected area so that it is safe to enter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Damage
Is water damage covered by homeowner and renter insurance?
Yes, in general, a standard homeowners insurance policy provides coverage for sudden and accidental damage that originates from within your home. However, it's important to note that you may not be covered if the water damage is a result of external flooding or neglecting necessary repairs. However, if you live in a flood-prone area, you may consider purchasing a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Furthermore, some policies may not automatically cover sewer and drain backups. However, you have the option to purchase a separate sewer backup rider, which can be added to your homeowners or renters' coverage to provide protection against such incidents.
How to prevent mold after water damage?
- Increase ventilation and decrease the humidity level by opening up all the doors and window
- Clean the areas as much as you can by wiping the porous areas, getting rid of debris, and extracting water from water absorbents items like carpet
- Dry out the area using a fan, vacuum, and dehumidifier
- Call a water damage restoration professionals to schedule an on-site inspection for any potential water damage-related mold growth

- Discoloration: One of the noticeable indications of water damage in walls is discoloration. If you observe yellow, brown, or dark stains on your walls or ceiling, it could be a sign of water damage.
- Peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper: Water damage often leads to paint or wallpaper bubbling, peeling, or becoming discolored. If you notice these changes in your walls, it could indicate the presence of water damage.
By being aware of these visual cues, you can identify potential water damage in your home or property. If you notice any of these signs, it's important to investigate the cause and address the issue promptly to prevent further damage.

“We had a major damage when the water pipe from the ceiling burst (see attached pictures 1 to 3 before restoration). Our insurance company (All State) referred us to Service Master. We were so happy about the subsequent clean up, remediation and restoration performed by Service Master. Raja Devini and his crew were outstanding! We highly recommend Service Master!!!”

“We had these guys out to take care of our moisture remediation after our upstairs neighbor’s washer hoses broke, sending water all over a portion of her unit and then leaking through our bathroom ceiling. The two techs who initially came were very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough, leaving nothing to chance. They checked everywhere with their moisture detectors in and around the bathroom. Once the insurance work was squared away, they returned along with a very nice technician, Lennard who is just the same as they are. After their humidifier, and other heat apparatuses were installed, another technician, Julio returned a couple times to check on the abatement and today to take everything out; he too is very thorough, knowledgeable, kind, and knows his stuff. As another Yelper said, they only do clean up and abatement, not repairs and painting. If you are ever in a situation like this, call these guys. You will be glad you did. Keep up the good work guys.”
