Around 54% of the 30,291 places we track get more than this. That's plenty of water to find a tired roof, a blocked downspout or a low spot by the foundation.

A look at the roof, gutters and downspouts before June is the cheapest repair you'll ever make.

Before anyone arrives
What to do right now in Hazen
These are the steps that help most before anyone gets there. Do what you safely can.
Shut off the water
Look for the main valve near the meter or where the line comes into the house, and turn it slowly, since older valves can stick. If it's one fixture, its own shutoff valve will do.
Stay clear of the power
If you can reach the breaker panel without stepping in water, switch off the wet rooms. If you can't, leave it alone, stay out of the water and tell us when you call.
Take pictures first
Before you clean up, photograph the water, where it came from and whatever it damaged. Your insurance company will ask, and you only get one chance at those shots.
Rescue what you can
Move rugs, papers, photos and electronics to a dry room, and prop furniture up off the wet floor. Everything else can wait.
Let the air move
If the water is clean and the power's safe, open interior doors and run the fans you have. Stay out if it's sewage or floodwater, and keep that air away from the rest of the house.

The clock on mold is roughly 24 to 48 hours, which is why we'd rather hear from you early.
What tends to fail in Hazen houses like yours
We couldn't find a reliable build year for this area, but the same few things cause most indoor leaks wherever you are: water heaters past 8 to 12 years, old washer hoses, ice maker lines, and the flexible connectors under toilets and sinks.
Take twenty minutes to look at each one, and make sure everyone at home knows where the main valve is. That one piece of knowledge can be the difference between a wet floor and a wet house.

Help for every kind of water problem in Hazen
Water Damage Cleanup & Extraction
The more water that comes out at this stage, the less has to be dried later. Pumps and extraction units clear carpet, pad, hardwood and tile, then everything the water touched gets cleaned.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Flood Damage Restoration
Floodwater is never clean. It carries soil and sewage, so mud and silt get cleared, soaked drywall and insulation get cut out, and what stays gets disinfected.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Basement Water Damage Restoration
If your home has a basement, a failed sump pump or a backed-up drain can fill it fast. It gets pumped out, the concrete and block get dried, and someone finds out how the water got in.
Call Now: (888) 596-0163
Structural Drying and Dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until the meters say your walls, subfloor and framing are back to normal. Not until they look dry. Until the readings prove it.

What's different about water damage in Hazen
Weather
You get a bit of everything here: long freezes that burst pipes, ice dams that send water through ceilings, and big coastal storms. Rivers can rise fast when heavy rain falls on melting snow, or when a tropical system stalls overhead.
Buildings
A lot of the homes here have been through a century of repairs. Radiator lines, old steam pipes and patched-in plumbing can all let go without warning. Plaster and old-growth hardwood are worth saving, but they need gentle, slow drying, so they don't crack or warp.
Ground
Glacial soil and shallow bedrock limit how much water the ground can take. Rain and snowmelt move along the rock and into stone foundations, which is why many cellars here get wet even when no pipe has failed.
Drying
Cold materials hold on to water. So in winter, specialists add controlled heat to the room, warming walls and floors enough to give up their moisture while the dehumidifiers take it out of the air.
When you call
What happens after you call us from Hazen
It starts with a few quick questions: your address, what happened and how long it's been wet. Then we'll connect you with someone from our network who works in Beaver County. Your own home, a rental or a business, you'll know what's next before the call ends.
The first hour is mostly detective work. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, the specialist traces the water through walls and floors. Then they'll sort it into Category 1, 2 or 3, from clean supply line water to sewage or floodwater. If it's Category 3, they'll seal the area with plastic sheeting and set up negative air with HEPA filtration, so the contaminated air stays put.
Drying is a process, and you'll have strange machines in the house for a few days. The bulk of the water goes first, by truck-mounted or portable extractor. Air movers then lift moisture off surfaces, and low grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers remove it from the air. A cold building or dense material may need desiccant units instead. Daily psychrometric readings show if the air is still pulling water out.
Nobody should take the machines away just because a wall feels dry. The target is the dry standard, measured from sound materials in your own home, and the job follows the IICRC S500 standard until the readings match. Ask for a copy of the daily log. Your insurer will want it.
What you can save and what has to go in Hazen
A lot of it can stay if you move quickly. If the water was clean, the carpet is often fine once the pad is replaced. Hardwood needs slow, careful drying with mats, and it may want refinishing at the end. Drywall is the easy one: a flood cut takes off the wet part, a little above the waterline, and the top of the wall is untouched.
If it was sewage or floodwater, porous things usually can't be saved. Carpet, pad and soaked insulation go in the dumpster, and studs and hard floors get cleaned and disinfected. Keep clear of any gas appliance that was underwater, and of any floor with a bit of bounce, until a professional has checked them.

Your Hazen water damage questions answered
How fast can someone get to me in Hazen?
Often within hours. Our network covers Beaver County, and we'll look for whoever can reach you soonest. Storms are the exception, because every crew in the area gets busy, so please don't wait to see if it gets worse.
Can I clean up water damage myself?
A small spill of clean water on a hard floor? Sure. Towels and a fan will do it. But if the water's in the walls, the carpet pad or the subfloor, or it came from a sewer or a flood, you'll want it extracted and properly dried. What you can't see is what keeps causing damage.
How long does it take to dry out a house?
Most homes take three to five days of drying once the water's out. Dense materials such as hardwood and plaster can take longer, and any rebuilding comes afterward.
Can wet hardwood floors and carpet be saved?
It depends on time and on the water. For hardwood, floor drying panels and patience can do a lot, though refinishing may still be needed. For carpet, clean water usually means new pad and the same carpet. Contaminated water means replacing both.
Will my insurance pay for water damage?
Often, but not always. Insurers tend to pay for sudden leaks and not for long-term seepage. Flooding from outside needs its own policy. Call your insurance company early, and keep the moisture logs and photos, since they make the claim much easier.
