What Water Mitigation Covers
Mitigation is about limits: limiting spread, limiting tear-out, limiting cost.
Source Control & Containment
Once the source is shut off, poly sheeting and zip walls keep moisture and dust from spreading. That enclosed space becomes an efficient drying chamber.
Controlled Demolition
Tear-out is limited to what truly can't be saved. Weep holes and narrow cuts let walls dry without gutting the room.
Rapid Water Extraction
Standing and absorbed water is pulled out with extraction tools sized for the surface. Thorough extraction cuts days off drying.
Drying Chamber Setup
Drying equipment goes inside the contained zone for faster results. Daily readings track progress to the drying goal.
Insurance Documentation
You receive photos, moisture maps, equipment logs, and a mitigation report. Those records support both the mitigation bill and any later repair claim.

Mitigation Stories From New London
Each of these losses could have been much worse.
Water came through our downstairs light fixture from a leaking tub drain. The contractor set up a containment wall, opened only a small section of ceiling, and had it drying that night. The repair was tiny.

What's the difference between water mitigation and water restoration?
Mitigation stops the loss from growing. Restoration puts the property back together. They're often billed separately on an insurance claim.
Does my insurance require me to mitigate water damage?
Most homeowners policies include a duty to take reasonable steps to protect the property from further damage. Damage that results from failing to act may not be covered, so prompt mitigation protects your claim.
How quickly should mitigation start?
Within hours is best. The longer materials stay wet, the more tear-out is needed and the higher the mold risk.
Will mitigation mean tearing out my walls?
Good mitigation limits demolition. Many walls can be dried with targeted openings rather than full removal.
Who pays for Water Mitigation?
Covered losses typically include mitigation costs. Your deductible applies, and documentation from the contractor supports the bill.
