First Steps

What to do while you wait for help.

A few quick steps that protect your family and your property until the crew arrives.

Water damage

Stop the source if you can do so safely — shut off the main water valve for a burst pipe.
Stay out of standing water near outlets, cords, or appliances. Shut off power to the area only if it is safe to reach the panel.
Move valuables and furniture out of the wet area.
Photograph the damage before anything is moved or cleaned.

Sewage backup

Keep family members and pets out of the affected area.
Don't touch contaminated water or materials with bare skin.
Stop using sinks, toilets, and drains until the backup is resolved.
Photograph the area for your records.

Mold & mildew

Avoid disturbing it — don't scrub, sand, or vacuum affected material.
Keep fans from blowing across the affected area.
Fix or report any active leak feeding the problem.
Photograph the area and note where it's spreading.

Safety first. If anyone is in danger, or there is an electrical, gas, or structural hazard, call 911 before anything else.

Emergency Response · SVC 01

Mold & Mildew Extraction

Mold and mildew spread fast once they take hold, and they can affect air quality and the materials underneath. We inspect the affected area, contain it to limit spread, and extract and treat affected material — and we look for the moisture source so the problem doesn't return.

— Inspection and moisture-source identification
— Containment to limit spread during removal
— Extraction, treatment, and safe disposal of affected material
— Final walkthrough with the property owner

Water Damage Remediation

The first 24–48 hours after a leak, burst pipe, or flood matter most. We extract standing water, set up structural drying, and monitor moisture levels until the space reads dry — reducing the chance of mold taking hold afterward.

— Water extraction from floors, basements, and crawl spaces
— Industrial drying & dehumidification
— Moisture monitoring through completion
— Damaged material removal, when needed

FAQ

Common questions about emergency cleanup.

How quickly should I call after water damage?

As soon as you can. Water spreads into flooring, drywall, and framing quickly, and mold can begin to develop within 24–48 hours of a leak or flood. The sooner the water is extracted and the structure is drying, the less there is to repair later.

Do you clean up sewage backups?

Yes. Sewage backups are a biohazard, so our crew works in full protective equipment. We extract the contaminated water and debris, remove affected material such as flooring, drywall, or insulation when needed, then clean and treat the area.

What does mold and mildew extraction involve?

We inspect the affected area, contain it to limit spread, and extract and treat the affected material. We also look for the moisture source — mold usually returns if the underlying water problem isn't fixed. We don't perform lab testing or issue clearance reports; if your situation calls for independent testing, that's done by a separate third-party tester.

Do you handle both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. We respond to emergencies at homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings, and we also provide recurring commercial cleaning.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Aroostook County, Maine, including Presque Isle, Caribou, Houlton, Fort Kent, Madawaska, Van Buren, Fort Fairfield, and surrounding communities.

Will my insurance cover the damage?

That depends on your policy and the cause of the loss, so check with your insurance provider. It helps to take your own photos of the damage before cleanup begins and to keep any receipts.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the type of damage, how much area is affected, and which materials are involved. We provide a clear written estimate before work begins, based on an in-person look or photos of the damage.
