Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Orono, ME

Matching in Maine starts with two questions: where the property is and what kind of water loss it has. From there we connect the owner with an independent local contractor. America Water Damage does not perform the restoration or supervise it. Maine does not license or regulate home contractors, according to the state Attorney General. Instead, state law requires a written contract for home construction and improvement projects over $3,000, with terms that include a warranty statement and a limit on deposits of one third of the contract price. With no license to check, rely on that contract, proof of insurance, references and any complaint history held by the Attorney General's consumer protection division. Before work starts in Orono, ME, ask the contractor for proof of liability insurance and a written scope. Insurance billing is arranged between you and the contractor, so confirm how they handle claims. We set no prices. The contractor quotes the job.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Questions Orono, ME homeowners and businesses ask most about water damage restoration — and clear, honest answers.

Contact Us
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Orono, ME?
It depends on what caused the water and on the wording of your policy, so the only reliable answer comes from your policy documents or your insurer. As a general pattern, sudden and accidental losses such as a burst pipe or a failed appliance hose are treated differently from gradual leaks and seepage. Flood is usually handled under a separate flood policy. We cannot tell you what your policy covers, and a restoration contractor in Orono, ME cannot either. What you can do right away is photograph the damage and report the loss to your insurer.
What does water damage restoration typically cost?
Costs vary widely with the amount of water, how contaminated it is and how much material has to be removed and rebuilt. As a published industry reference, Fixr reports a national average of about $3,000 for water damage restoration, with a typical range of $1,200 to $5,000. Those are Fixr's industry figures, not our prices. We set no prices at all. The contractor you are matched with inspects the property and gives you their own estimate for the work, and many contractors offer free estimates, so confirm that before booking.
Should I call my insurer or a restoration contractor first?
In most cases you can do both within the same hour, and the order matters less than acting early. Stopping the water and limiting the damage comes first, because most policies expect the owner to take reasonable steps to prevent further loss. Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can and note the claim number. A contractor can then inspect the property and document the damage. Keep photographs, videos and receipts from the start, since that record supports whatever your insurer decides.
Can I dry out water damage myself?
For a small spill caught quickly on a hard surface, often yes. The difficulty is that water travels where you cannot see it, under flooring, behind baseboards and into wall cavities, and a surface that feels dry can sit on top of materials that are still wet. Household fans move air but do not remove moisture from it the way professional dehumidifiers do. If the water has soaked into carpet pad, drywall or subfloor, or if it came from a contaminated source, an inspection with moisture meters is the safer choice.
How soon can mold start after water damage?
Sooner than most people expect. The US Environmental Protection Agency says it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Warm, humid conditions and porous materials such as drywall, carpet pad and insulation make growth more likely. The EPA also suggests that moldy areas larger than about 10 square feet, or mold that follows extensive water damage, are a reason to consult a professional. Some states license mold work separately, so ask any contractor in Orono, ME which credential covers it.
