Coming home to three days of water from a failed water heater is a gut punch. The fix is a full restoration: get the water out, dry the structure, remove what is ruined, and rebuild it so you cannot tell anything happened.
One free call connects you with an independent local specialist. Areas served include zip codes 84078.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Your call is routed to an independent local restoration company that can take the job from the first moisture reading to the final walkthrough, which saves you from managing three or four different trades.
Many independent restoration pros handle both mitigation and reconstruction, which means one scope of work, one schedule, and one person to call when you have a question.
Restoration contractors commonly write estimates in Xactimate, the same software most insurance adjusters use, so line items for flood cuts, drying days, and baseboard replacement match what your carrier expects.
Reconstruction sometimes requires permits. Ask the contractor for license and insurance proof up front, and confirm who is pulling any permits your job needs.
Because the contractors already work around Maeser, they can usually get mitigation started the same day, which limits how much material has to be torn out later.

Restoration follows a set order. Skipping a step, like closing up walls before the framing is dry, is how mold ends up behind brand new drywall six months later.

The first phase stops the water and limits the spread: extraction, drying setup, and protecting unaffected rooms with plastic containment.
Wet drywall is cut at a straight line, often two or four feet up, to expose framing for drying. Swollen MDF baseboards, saturated insulation, and delaminated cabinet toe kicks come out too.
Furniture, rugs, and boxes get moved, blocked up on foam pads, or packed out to storage so they are not ruined while the floors dry. Each item is inventoried for your claim.
The rebuild covers hanging and finishing drywall, matching wall texture, installing new trim, and painting so the repaired area blends in.
Carpet may be re-stretched with new pad, hardwood may be sanded and refinished after drying, and laminate that swelled at the seams is usually replaced.
Tell the dispatcher what happened and how long the water was there, so you are matched with a contractor who handles mitigation and rebuild.
You get a direct call from the pro with a timeframe, plus quick advice on shutting off water and power while you wait.
The pro maps wet areas, photographs everything, and writes up a scope for mitigation and reconstruction that you approve before work starts.
After drying is verified, rebuild begins. The job ends with a walkthrough so you can check paint, trim, and floors before you sign off.
The sooner mitigation starts, the less has to be rebuilt.
We were out of town for four days when the water heater let go. The contractor dried the house, cut the drywall two feet up, and rebuilt the hallway and two bedrooms. Paint matched perfectly.
Rachel D.Water heater failure, full rebuildWhat I liked was having one company for the whole thing. The estimate lined up with what my adjuster wrote, so there was no back and forth.
Tom H.Insurance claim, kitchen and dining roomThey boxed up the kids' rooms, stored everything, and brought it all back after the new carpet went in. Nothing missing, nothing damaged.
Monique L.Contents pack-out and carpet replacementThey refused to close up the walls until the readings were dry, even though I was in a hurry. Glad they did.

Mitigation is the emergency phase: stopping the water, extracting it, and drying the structure. Restoration includes mitigation plus the rebuild, like new drywall, trim, paint, and flooring.
Plan on about a week for drying and small repairs. Larger rebuilds that involve cabinets or flooring can run several weeks.
If the loss is covered, most policies pay for both mitigation and reconstruction. Contractors document everything to support your claim, but your agent can confirm your coverage.
Saturated drywall often cannot be saved, and the cut opens the wall cavity so the studs and insulation dry. It also makes patching cleaner.
Often, yes. Drying equipment is loud and warm, but many families stay home. If sewage, mold, or a large area is involved, the contractor may recommend staying elsewhere for a few days.
No. We connect callers with independent local restoration companies. Please verify license and insurance with the contractor before work starts.
