Homeowners
Water damage drying for homes and rental properties
My HomeDry helps homeowners, landlords, tenants (with suitable authority), letting agents, owners of flats and HMO operators across the East and West Midlands following burst pipes, leaks, appliance failures and escapes of water.
Where My HomeDry can help
We assess the affected areas and materials, run a monitored drying programme and provide the documentation typically requested by insurers. Use the links below to jump to the technical service page most relevant to your situation.
Insurance coverage, claim approval and payment are determined by the insurer under the terms of the individual policy. My HomeDry cannot guarantee that any work or cost will be covered.
Room by room
Water damage throughout the home
An escape of water often affects more than one room. The examples below reflect the type of damage My HomeDry regularly attends.
Appliance & kitchen leak drying
Living rooms
Water can affect ceilings, timber floors, carpets, plaster and electrical fittings — controlled removal is often required before drying can begin.
Bedrooms
Insulation, plasterboard, carpets, fitted wardrobes and rooms below or above may all be affected by an escape of water into a bedroom.
Bathrooms
Water may travel through tiled areas, floor structures, ceilings and neighbouring rooms, particularly following shower, bath or toilet leaks.
Hallways and landings
Water can spread between several rooms and through shared floor and ceiling voids, exposing joists and requiring wider assessment.

Frequently asked questions
In many cases, yes. Drying equipment produces noise and warmth, and one or more rooms may be restricted while machines are running, but households can often remain in the property. Where damage is more extensive, alternative arrangements may be needed — this is a matter for the household and, where relevant, the insurer.
Drying time depends on the materials affected, the extent of water penetration, the building fabric and environmental conditions. We do not quote fixed durations — the drying programme continues until moisture readings show the materials have returned to appropriate levels.
Tenants can call us for guidance, but the property owner, landlord or managing agent normally needs to authorise work. For claims, the policyholder is usually the property owner or freeholder unless a specific tenant contents policy applies.
Yes. We can provide photographs, moisture readings, moisture mapping, an equipment schedule, monitoring records and completion information for the claim file where instructed. Insurance coverage and payment are determined by the insurer under the terms of the individual policy.
Reinstatement — plastering, decorating, flooring, carpentry — can be coordinated where instructed and is agreed separately from the drying works.
