Water Damage Restoration

We offer 24/7 emergency response throughout the Idaho Falls area, including Ammon, Rexburg, Blackfoot, Rigby, and Shelley. Response times vary based on your location, current call volume, and road conditions — we'll give you an estimated arrival time as soon as you call. For water damage, speed matters: the longer water sits, the more structural damage occurs and the greater the risk of mold growth.

First, if it's safe, shut off the water source (main shutoff or individual fixture valve) and turn off electricity to affected areas at the breaker. Move valuables and important documents to dry areas. Do not use a regular household vacuum on standing water — it's a shock hazard. Call Home Pride Restoration at (208) 604-4411 right away. The faster we begin extraction, the less damage to your floors, walls, and belongings.

Many standard homeowner's insurance policies in Idaho cover sudden and accidental water damage — such as burst pipes, appliance failures, or roof leaks. Flooding from external sources (rivers, surface runoff) typically requires separate flood insurance. Coverage varies significantly by policy, provider, and the specific cause of damage — we always recommend contacting your insurance agent directly to verify what your policy covers before assuming any costs are included. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and our documentation is designed to support your claim, but final coverage determinations rest with your insurer.

Water damage restoration costs vary significantly depending on the source of water, how long it sat, the size of the affected area, the materials involved, and the extent of reconstruction required. As a general reference, minor water damage with limited drying may run $1,500–$3,000; moderate damage requiring structural drying and material removal often runs $3,000–$7,000; extensive flooding with significant reconstruction can exceed $10,000. These are general ranges only — your actual cost depends entirely on your specific situation. We provide free on-site estimates so you know your real number before any work begins. Coverage through homeowner's insurance varies by policy; verify your coverage directly with your insurance agent.

Timelines vary based on the size of the affected area, the materials involved, ambient humidity, and how much reconstruction is needed. Structural drying typically takes 3–5 days before reconstruction can begin, but this depends on conditions specific to your home. Minor water damage may resolve in about a week total; extensive damage requiring significant rebuilding can take 2–4 weeks or more. We provide daily moisture monitoring reports throughout the drying phase so you can see exactly where things stand — we won't rush the drying phase to meet an arbitrary deadline.

Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water damage under the right conditions — warmth, moisture, and organic material (drywall, wood framing). Idaho Falls winters slow mold growth somewhat, but interior temperatures in heated homes provide ideal conditions year-round. Our water damage restoration process always includes antimicrobial treatment during drying to prevent mold. If mold has already started, we handle full mold remediation as well.
