Water Damage Restoration | New England Preservation & Restoration | Plainville, CT

The first signs often include a sudden drop in water pressure, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, or wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. You might also notice a musty smell, warping of wood or drywall, or a spike in your water bill. If you suspect a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve immediately and call New England Preservation & Restoration for emergency water extraction and drying.

First, prioritize safety: turn off electricity to the affected area if it's safe to do so. Do not walk through standing water if there's a risk of electrical shock. Then, call us right away. We'll arrive with industrial pumps and dehumidifiers to remove the water and dry the space, preventing mold growth and structural damage. We can also help assess why the pump failed and advise on repairs.

Slow leaks can cause hidden damage, like rotting cabinets, damaged subflooring, and mold growth behind walls. Our process starts with a thorough inspection, often using moisture meters to find all affected areas. We then dry the structure, remove and replace damaged materials like drywall or flooring, and treat for any mold. We work with your insurance to make the process as smooth as possible.
