Who We Are

Who Picks Up When You Call This Number

We are a free referral line. Business Leak Detection does not send out its own crews; every call is matched with an independent restoration contractor serving Orleans Parish who carries the license and insurance the work calls for. You explain the problem once, and the right specialist is connected with you.

Most of the pros callers reach have spent years on water losses of every size, from one soaked closet to a flooded office floor. They carry moisture meters and thermal cameras, run commercial drying equipment, and keep drying logs an insurance adjuster can actually read. You get a quote before work begins, not a surprise afterward.

The line is staffed around the clock because leaks don't keep office hours. A pipe that splits at 3 a.m. on a holiday weekend gets the same routing as one that splits at noon, and if one contractor is busy, you're moved to another who covers your corner of the county.

Know What to Look For

How to Tell Hidden Water Damage Is Spreading

Not every leak announces itself with a gush. Some of the worst damage starts quietly behind walls and under floors, and if you notice any of the following, it's worth calling today rather than next week.

What Gets Handled

Our Core Emergency Water Removal Services

These are the jobs that come through the line most. You don't need the right term; describe the problem and the call gets routed to someone who handles it.

Standing Water Pulled Out Fast

Standing water keeps soaking into drywall, subfloor, and framing for as long as it sits. Contractors arrive with truck-mounted or portable extraction units, pull water out of carpet and pad, and pump out flooded rooms so drying can start the same day.

Part of that first visit is classifying the loss: clean water from a supply line, gray water from an appliance, or contaminated Category 3 water. That call decides what can be dried in place and what has to go.

Home Water Damage Repair and Rebuild

Homes take water from washing machine hoses, water heater failures, toilet supply lines, ice maker lines, and roof leaks. Residential contractors find the source, stop it, dry the structure, and then replace what can't be saved: drywall, baseboard, insulation, and flooring.

They'll photograph the damage, log readings room by room, and hand you paperwork your insurer can use if you decide to file.

Commercial Water Damage Restoration

A flooded office, retail floor, or restaurant kitchen costs money every hour it stays closed. Commercial restoration contractors scale up with more extractors, larger desiccant dehumidifiers, and crews that can work after hours so you can stay partly open.

They're used to working with property managers, building engineers, and multiple tenants, and they section off affected areas with containment so the rest of the building keeps running.

Structural Drying and Dehumidification

Getting the puddle up is the easy part. The real work is drying what's underneath, using air movers angled along the walls, dehumidifiers sized to the room, and daily meter readings until drywall, studs, and subfloor return to normal moisture levels.

Infrared cameras spot cold, wet areas inside walls, and drilling small holes behind the baseboard lets air into the cavity so it dries without being gutted.

Putting the Room Back Together

Once the structure is dry, the visible repairs start: replacing sagging ceiling drywall, patching and texture matching, new insulation, baseboard, and flooring. Many contractors handle both mitigation and rebuild, so you aren't juggling two companies.

Ask about texture and paint matching on ceilings and walls; a good repair shouldn't leave a visible patch.

Contaminated Water Cleanup and Sanitizing

Water from a sewer backup or rising floodwater is treated as contaminated. Crews suit up in protective gear, tear out porous materials that can't be cleaned, apply antimicrobial treatment, and dry the space under containment.

Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away from the affected area until it has been cleaned and disinfected by a pro.

The Process

How It Works When You Call

Here's what to expect from the moment you call until the job wraps up.

Call the 24/7 line

Call +1-323-329-3586. The dispatcher asks a few quick questions about the source, the rooms affected, and whether water is still running, then routes you to an available contractor.

A contractor heads your way

An independent contractor serving your area gets your details and confirms an arrival window. For active leaks and flooding, crews often arrive within the hour.

Assessment and upfront quote

The contractor finds the source, measures moisture, classifies the water, and walks you through scope and price before starting.

Drying, repair, and sign-off

The crew extracts water, sets drying equipment, and checks progress every day. Repairs come after the structure is confirmed dry, and the documentation stays with you.

Water heater burst at midnight and flooded the laundry room. The crew was there within the hour, extracted everything, and came back daily to check moisture until the drywall read dry.

After a storm flooded our basement, the contractor explained why the floodwater counted as contaminated, removed the lower drywall and carpet, disinfected, and dried it out properly.

Questions

Emergency Water Removal Questions, Answered

For active leaks and flooding, many contractors in the network arrive within about an hour. Exact timing depends on distance, traffic, and weather, and the dispatcher gives you an estimated window when you call.

The call itself is free. Pricing comes from the contractor, who assesses the job and explains the cost before any work begins.

Water extraction, emergency pumping, board-up and tarping after storms, structural drying, sewage cleanup, and leak source location are all handled around the clock.

We're a referral line, not a contractor. Every job is performed by an independent professional, and you deal with them directly on pricing and terms.

Sudden and accidental damage, like a burst pipe, is often covered, while gradual leaks and outside flooding may not be. Check your policy; contractors can provide documentation for your claim either way.

Typical drying runs about three to five days. Dense materials like hardwood and concrete slabs can need more time, which is why moisture readings, not the calendar, decide when it's done.

Stop the source at the main shutoff, kill the breaker for affected rooms if it's safe, lift furniture off wet carpet with foil or blocks, and photograph everything.

Box fans help a little with the surface, but they don't reach water trapped behind drywall or under flooring. That hidden moisture is where mold starts.

Under the right conditions, mold growth starts in one to two days. Getting materials dry quickly is the best prevention there is.

They do. Commercial calls for offices, stores, restaurants, and apartment buildings are routed to contractors with the larger equipment and crews those jobs need.

It is. Calling and being matched costs nothing; payment is between you and the contractor for the work you approve.

Yes, and you should. Every contractor is independent, and checking license and insurance before they begin protects you.

Coverage

Service Coverage in Orleans Parish

Calls come in from houses, condos, rental units, and businesses in Orleans Parish, and each one goes to an independent contractor who already works that area. Distance and availability decide who gets the call, so you aren't waiting on someone from across the county.

Local knowledge matters here. A contractor who works your area knows whether homes usually sit on slabs, basements, or crawl spaces, and what that means for where water hides.

Orleans Parish calls cover towns, suburbs, and rural roads. Properties on wells and septic systems are common outside town limits, and contractors who work the county know how those systems affect a water loss.

Because drives across a county can run long, calls are matched by distance first. The nearest available contractor gets the job, which keeps arrival times down for outlying addresses.
