QUESTIONS

Meridian Water Damage Questions

About Calling

Who picks up at (208) 908-0878?

An independent restoration company that works around Meridian. It isn't part of this site. Expect questions about what got wet and whether water is still running.

Is there a charge for calling?

No. You only pay if you decide to hire a company, at a price the two of you agree on.

Who actually handles the job, and where does this site's money come from?

The restoration companies do all of it. Meridian Water Damage Restoration does no work, sets no prices and doesn't stand behind results, so check a company's registration and insurance before hiring. A company or marketing partner may pay the site when a call becomes a qualified lead. See the Site notice.

Under the House

Why is there water in my crawlspace in summer?

Often it's groundwater raised by canal seepage and irrigation, which peaks while the canals are running. See canal seepage and summer groundwater.

Do I have a crawlspace, a basement or a slab?

Look for a hatch in a closet floor, the garage or outside along the foundation. See crawlspace, slab or basement.

Water came in at a basement window. Why?

Window wells collect snowmelt, rain and sprinkler water, and a full well can push water past the window. See window wells and egress windows.

Inside the House

The room feels dry. Why are the fans still running?

Because the readings inside the drywall, the subfloor or the framing haven't reached dry yet. See moisture readings and drying logs.

Is the builder or the HOA responsible for this leak?

It depends on the source and the paperwork. See builder warranty, HOA or homeowner.

What makes one water damage job cost more than another?

How far the water spread, what it soaked into, how long it sat and what's under the floor. See why two leaks cost different amounts.

Weather and the River

What should I do when a line freezes?

Shut off the water at the main, keep clear of wet electrical, and call. See frozen and burst pipe water damage.

Can the Boise River reach homes in Eagle or Garden City?

In high-water years, low areas near the river can flood. See the Boise River at high water.

What should I photograph for my insurer?

Every wet room before anything moves, the source if you can see it, anything thrown out, and the moisture readings from each visit.
