A homeowner's survival guide to water damage — from the moment it happens to the moment the drying is done. Step-by-step, IICRC-aligned, no jargon.
Take a breath. You found the right guide.
Maybe you are standing in a room that should be dry but is not. Maybe it is a ceiling stain spreading above your kitchen, a supply line that let go while you were at work, or a storm that moved through Central Texas. Whatever brought you here — you are in the right place.
The moment water enters your home, a 24-to-48-hour window opens. A $500 water leak addressed in the first hour can become a $20,000 claim if it sits for days.
Chapters 2–6 cover water categories (Cat 1/2/3), Class 1–4 drying, S500-aligned documentation checklists, what NOT to touch, the insurance call playbook, and the 48-hour mold clock. 📚 The Full Library — All 8 Books for $65.00: Book 1: When Water Hits — The First 48 Hours Book 2: After the Fire — Smoke, Soot & the Insurance Clock Book 3: The Mold Window — What Grows, When, and How to Stop It Book 4: Asbestos & You — Testing, Abatement & Staying Legal Book 5: Biohazard Basics — Cat 3 Water, Sewage & Trauma Cleanup Book 6: The Insurance Playbook — How Claims Really Work Book 7: Contractor Red Flags — How to Hire Right & Avoid Fraud Book 8: Commercial Restoration — Multi-Unit, TPA & Large Loss
