Water damage can spread quickly
Water can affect far more than the area you can see
Water can travel through ceiling voids, insulation, wall junctions, floors and adjoining rooms. A professional assessment helps establish the areas affected and the appropriate drying and repair work.

FAQ
Common questions
If your question isn't answered here, call 07815 622384 — we can talk it through.
- Where it is safe to do so, stop the water at the source or turn off the mains stopcock, keep clear of any electrics that may be affected and move valuable items away from the wet area. Call us as soon as possible so we can discuss assessment and mitigation. If a pipe still needs repairing, an emergency plumber may need to attend first.
- The source of the water usually needs to be stopped or repaired before drying can begin. This is often a plumber’s job. Once the leak is contained, we handle assessment, mitigation and structural drying.
- Yes. Water frequently tracks into wall cavities, under floors and beneath insulation, where it is not visible from the surface. A moisture survey helps to identify hidden damage that surface inspection alone will miss.
- We use professional moisture meters, hygrometers and thermal imaging where appropriate, and record readings across affected areas throughout the drying programme.
- Drying times depend on the building, the materials affected, the severity of the incident and environmental conditions. Because these vary, we do not quote a fixed duration in advance. We monitor progress and update you as the drying programme continues.
- In many residential cases it is possible to remain in the property while equipment runs. Where a room is heavily affected or where safety is a concern, we will discuss alternatives with you.
- Insurance coverage, claim approval and payment are always subject to your policy, the insurer’s decision and any applicable excess. We cannot guarantee that a particular cost will be covered, but we can provide clear scopes, records and documentation to support the claim.
- Yes. With the customer’s authority, My HomeDry can communicate with loss adjusters, loss assessors and claims handlers and can provide relevant scopes, readings, progress information and completion information where these form part of the agreed instruction.
- Yes. We keep records of readings and equipment used and can share these with the policyholder, insurer or loss adjuster as required.
- Yes. My HomeDry considers commercial water-damage instructions involving offices, retail premises, schools, apartment buildings, managed residential blocks, hospitality properties, warehouses and industrial premises. Access, safety, occupancy and operational requirements are considered when planning the work.
- My HomeDry considers residential, commercial, managed-property and insurance-related water damage instructions throughout the East and West Midlands. The closest core response area is centred on Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands, while more distant work is assessed according to location, incident requirements and current capacity.
- Once the drying stage has been reviewed and the agreed monitoring information supports moving to the next stage, equipment can be removed and relevant completion information provided. Reinstatement, including repairs, flooring and decoration where required, can then be coordinated according to the agreed scope.
