Who We Are

Who Picks Up When You Call This Number

Business Leak Detection is a referral service, not a contractor. We run a 24/7 phone line that connects people dealing with water damage to independent, licensed and insured restoration contractors who work in Multnomah County. You talk to a real person, describe what happened, and get routed to a pro who handles that kind of job.

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.

Water damage rarely waits for business hours, so neither does the line. Nights, weekends, and holidays get the same response as a Tuesday morning, and if the first contractor is tied up, the call moves to the next one covering your part of the county.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Flood Damage Cleanup Right Now

Water does its worst work where nobody is looking. These are the signs restoration contractors say people tend to ignore until the repair bill doubles.

What Gets Handled

Our Core Flood Damage Cleanup 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.

Same-Night Water Extraction

The longer water stands, the deeper it wicks into walls and framing. Crews show up with truck-mount extractors, submersible pumps, and weighted extraction tools that squeeze water out of carpet and pad, so the drying phase starts hours sooner.

Before extraction, the contractor classifies the water as Category 1, 2, or 3 based on its source, because clean supply-line water and sewage backflow get handled very differently.

Repairs for Houses, Condos, and Rentals

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.

Restoration for Offices, Shops, and Multi-Unit Buildings

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.

Expect containment barriers that keep dust and moisture out of unaffected suites, coordination with your property manager, and the drying logs your adjuster will ask for.

Moisture Control That Heads Off Mold

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.

Thermal imaging cameras help find wet pockets behind walls without tearing everything out, and small weep holes drilled behind the baseboard can dry a wall cavity without full demolition.

Rebuild Work After the Drying Is Done

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.

A careful crew matches ceiling texture and paint sheen so the repaired area blends into the rest of the room.

Category 3 Water and Storm Flooding

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.

Don't try to mop this one yourself, and keep kids and pets out of the area until a professional has cleaned and treated it.

How It Works

What Happens After You Dial the Number

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

Make the call

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 local pro is routed to you

Your call goes to an independent restoration contractor nearby who confirms an arrival time. Emergency calls get priority, and many crews reach the property in about an 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.

Reviews

Real Stories From Water Damage Calls

Our water heater let go in the garage around midnight and ran into the laundry room. The contractor showed up in under an hour, had the water out by 2 a.m., and set fans and a dehumidifier. He showed me the moisture readings every day until it was dry.
Marcus T. · Homeowner, Multnomah County
A supply line under our upstairs sink failed while we were at work, and part of the kitchen ceiling came down. The contractor walked us through the quote before touching anything and took all the photos our insurer wanted.
Danielle R. · Homeowner, Multnomah County
A sprinkler line broke in one of our suites over a weekend. The crew sealed it off, ran dehumidifiers through Sunday, and the rest of the building opened Monday as usual.
Greg P. · Property Manager, Multnomah County
Our basement took water after a heavy storm. The contractor explained it was Category 3 because it came from outside, cut out the bottom two feet of drywall, treated everything, and it's stayed dry since.
Alicia M. · Homeowner, Multnomah County
We had a musty smell for weeks. The contractor used a thermal camera to find a leak behind the shower wall, opened only what was needed, and repaired the subfloor.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Damage Cleanup

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.

Contractors handle emergency extraction, flood pumping, drying setup, sewage and Category 3 cleanup, and temporary protection like tarps, 24 hours a day.

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.

It depends on the cause. Policies usually cover sudden events like a split supply line but often exclude slow leaks and floodwater without separate flood coverage. The contractor's photos and moisture logs help either way.

Most structures dry in three to five days with professional equipment, though hardwood, plaster, and concrete can take longer. Contractors measure daily rather than guessing.

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.

Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall, carpet pad, and wood, which is why fast extraction and drying matter so much.

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

Yes. There's no charge to call or to be connected. You only pay the contractor for work you agree to.

Always. Contractors in the network are independent businesses, so ask for proof of licensing and insurance before work starts. A reputable pro will have it ready.
