We don't employ crews or perform the work ourselves. What we do is match you with licensed and insured independent contractors who carry the extraction units, dehumidifiers, and meters the job requires.
Our dispatchers have heard it all, from a pinhole leak behind a shower valve to a sump pump that died mid-storm. They'll ask about the source, how long it's been sitting, and whether it's clean or contaminated, so whoever shows up is ready for what they'll find.
Conditions vary a lot from one part of New Hampshire, NH to another. Humidity, seasonal freezes, building age, and foundation type change from region to region, and each one affects how a building dries. So we route each call to a contractor nearby instead of one across the state.
Every caller gets the same thing: a fast connection, honest expectations, and a pro who quotes before they start.
Signs You Need Flood Cleanup Right Away
Most water damage doesn't start with a gushing pipe. It shows up as a soft spot in the floor, a ceiling stain that keeps growing, or a smell you can't quite place. If you notice any of the signs below, the clock is already running, because drywall wicks water upward and mold can take hold within 24 to 48 hours.
- Stains that keep spreadingYellow or brown rings on ceilings and walls mean water is moving above or behind the surface.
- Floors that feel soft or cuppedWhen boards cup, laminate joints swell, or sheet vinyl lifts, water is sitting in the subfloor.
- A musty, earthy smellA damp, earthy smell is often the first clue that mold is growing somewhere you can't see.
- Peeling paint or bubbling drywallPaint lifts and drywall tape blisters when moisture pushes through from behind.
- A water bill that jumps for no reasonA sudden spike with no change in habits often means a hidden supply-line leak in a wall or slab.
- Standing water after a storm or appliance failureEven a shallow puddle from a water heater, washer hose, or storm seepage soaks baseboards and carpet pad fast.
Our Core Flood Cleanup Services
No two water losses look alike, which is why the independent pros we connect callers with in New Hampshire, NH handle everything from emergency extraction to finished repairs. Below is what that work usually involves and what you should expect to see on site.
Emergency Water Extraction
Nothing else matters until the standing water is out. The pros we dispatch roll up with truck-mount extractors and submersible pumps that move hundreds of gallons an hour. Weighted wands and rover-style extractors press water out of carpet before it reaches the baseboards.
A good tech classifies the water first, clean, gray, or black, since that classification decides what stays and what gets torn out. Clean supply-line water often lets carpet dry in place; sewage or outside floodwater means porous materials come out.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Pulling up the visible water is only half the job. Wall cavities, framing, and slab keep holding water long after the surface looks fine, and that trapped moisture warps floors and feeds mold down the road.
Specialists place high-velocity air movers and LGR or desiccant dehumidifiers based on room volume and how much material got wet, not by guesswork. They take daily readings with pin and pinless moisture meters, track humidity with a thermo-hygrometer, and keep a drying log until every material hits its dry standard. Most homes get there in three to five days.
Residential Water Damage Repair
Once everything is dry, the house still has to look like home again. Residential repair covers cutting out and replacing wet drywall, swapping saturated insulation, resetting baseboards and trim, and repairing or replacing flooring. Flood cuts are usually made 12 to 24 inches above the waterline so the wet section comes out cleanly and new board blends in once it's taped, mudded, and painted.
Plenty of pros in our network handle everything start to finish, so you're not coordinating three separate trades. Ask for a line-item written scope so it's easy to compare against your adjuster's estimate.
Commercial Water Damage Repair
A flooded office, restaurant, or retail floor loses money every hour it stays closed. Commercial specialists plan extraction and drying around your operating hours and build plastic containment so unaffected areas can stay open.
Larger jobs often call for trailer-mounted desiccant dehumidifiers, temporary power, and thermal imaging to trace water through drop ceilings and wall chases. Facility managers receive the moisture maps, photo logs, and drying records that carriers and tenants ask for.
Burst Pipe & Appliance Leak Damage
A burst supply line can push out several gallons a minute, and it rarely happens at a convenient time. Frozen pipes in exterior walls, cracked washing machine hoses, failed water heaters, leaking dishwashers, and refrigerator ice-maker lines are the usual culprits.
Shut off the main water valve and flip the breakers for wet rooms if it's safe to do so. The pro on the job removes the water, opens the affected wall or cabinet to dry it out, and coordinates the pipe fix with a plumber when needed.
Sewage, Floodwater & Mold Prevention
Category 3 water is a different job entirely. Sewage backups and outside floodwater carry bacteria, so contractors wear proper PPE, remove contaminated porous materials, and apply EPA-registered antimicrobials before drying begins.
Mold can take hold on damp drywall and framing in 24 to 48 hours, which is why antimicrobial treatment is common even on clean-water jobs. Already seeing growth? Ask about containment, HEPA air scrubbing, and clearance testing before work begins.

These are the questions that come up on almost every call.
How fast can a Flood Cleanup technician arrive in New Hampshire, NH?
In many service areas a local pro can be on site in under an hour for emergencies. Your actual arrival window depends on distance, road conditions, and current demand, and the contractor confirms it with you directly.
Do you provide upfront pricing?
Yes. The independent contractors we connect you with inspect the damage and give you a written estimate before any work starts. Final cost depends on how much water, how many rooms, the water category, and the repairs needed.
What emergency services are available?
Around-the-clock help usually includes water extraction, drying and dehumidification, sewage and floodwater cleanup, burst pipe and appliance leak response, and antimicrobial treatment. Many pros can also move contents out of harm's way.
Will my homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Coverage usually hinges on the cause. Sudden, accidental damage such as a burst supply line is often covered; slow leaks and rising floodwater frequently aren't without a separate flood policy. Your agent or carrier can confirm what your policy includes.
How long does it take to dry out a house?
Most structural drying jobs take three to five days, though dense materials like hardwood and concrete can take longer. The contractor tracks progress with daily moisture readings and pulls equipment only when materials hit their dry standard.
Can I stay in my home during water damage repair?
In most clean-water cases you can stay home, though the fans and dehumidifiers run day and night. With sewage backups, heavy mold, or electrical issues, it's often safer to stay somewhere else until the area is cleaned.
What should I do while I wait for help to arrive?
Turn off the main water valve, switch off power to affected rooms if it's safe, and lift rugs, electronics, and keepsakes out of the water. Grab photos and video before anything is moved, and avoid wading through water near electrical sources.
Is Water Damage Aldine the company doing the repairs?
No. Water Damage Aldine is a free referral service. We connect you with independent local contractors who perform the inspection and the work. Each contractor sets their own pricing and terms, so confirm licensing and insurance with them directly.
How do I know if mold is already growing?
Watch for an earthy smell, specks or fuzzy patches on walls and wood, and stains that keep coming back. Moisture readings and a thermal camera help pinpoint hidden wet areas where mold is most likely to grow.
What's the difference between Category 1, 2, and 3 water?
The categories describe contamination. Clean supply water is Category 1, gray water from appliances is Category 2, and sewage or floodwater is Category 3. Water also degrades, so a clean leak left sitting for days may be treated as Category 2 or 3.
