Raleigh Water Damage Cleanup, Drying, and Repair
Restoration 1 of Raleigh provides 24/7 water damage restoration for homeowners and businesses throughout Raleigh, North Carolina. When a pipe breaks, an appliance leaks, a basement floods, or sewage backs up, our local team removes the water, dries the structure, cleans affected areas, and completes necessary repairs.
Water can travel beneath flooring, behind drywall, through cabinets, and into insulation before the full extent of the damage is visible. We use professional extraction equipment, air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture detection tools to locate affected materials and develop the right drying plan for your property.

Raleigh Water Damage Restoration FAQs
What should I do first after finding water damage?
Make sure everyone is safe and stay away from standing water near electrical outlets, appliances, or a damaged ceiling. When it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source, move valuables away from the wet area, and call a water damage restoration company.
How quickly should water damage be cleaned up?
Water removal and drying should begin as soon as safely possible. The longer materials remain wet, the farther moisture can spread and the more likely drywall, flooring, cabinets, insulation, and personal belongings are to require replacement.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage restoration?
Coverage depends on the source of the water, the terms of your policy, and whether the damage resulted from a sudden event or a long-term problem.
We work for our Homeowners and will work with insurance carriers to assist with the claims.
It’s important to contact your insurance provider as soon as possible, and avoid making permanent repairs until the damage has been documented unless an immediate repair is necessary for safety.
How long does it take to dry a house after water damage?
Many water-damaged areas require several days of professional drying, but every property is different. The amount of water, materials affected, indoor conditions, and how long the area remained wet can all affect the drying time.
Can water be hidden behind walls or under flooring?
Yes. Water can travel through wall cavities, beneath hardwood or laminate flooring, under cabinets, and into insulation without remaining visible on the surface. We use moisture detection equipment to identify these areas and monitor them during drying.
Can wet hardwood floors, carpet, and furniture be saved?
Some materials can be restored when water removal begins quickly and the water is not heavily contaminated. We evaluate the condition of each material, the type of water involved, and the length of exposure before recommending cleaning, drying, or replacement.
Do you clean up sewage backups in Raleigh?
Yes. Sewage backups require specialized extraction, removal of unsalvageable porous materials, cleaning, disinfection, and odor control. Avoid touching contaminated water or attempting to clean a large sewage loss without proper protective equipment.
