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 Kent County who carries the license and insurance the work calls for. You explain the problem once, and the right specialist is connected with you.

The contractors in the network do this work every week: pulling standing water with truck-mounted extractors, setting air movers and dehumidifiers, reading moisture behind baseboards, and cutting out wet drywall before it becomes a mold job. They know a slab leak from a roof leak, and they price the job before they start.

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.

Stains spreading across the ceilingIf a ceiling stain gets bigger after rain or a shower upstairs, water is pooling above it, and soaked drywall can give way with little warning.
Floors that feel soft or cuppedHardwood that cups at the edges, laminate lifting at the seams, or vinyl that bubbles is usually sitting on a wet subfloor.
An earthy, damp odor in one roomThat basement or closet smell usually means wet materials and early microbial growth, even when nothing looks wet.
Paint bubbling or peelingWater behind drywall pushes paint off the surface in blisters. Press one and it's often damp underneath.
A meter that spins with taps offShut every fixture and watch the meter. If the dial keeps moving, there's a leak somewhere on the supply side.
Damp lines at the base of wallsIf water shows up at the floor edge every time it rains hard, the source is outside, and the damage inside builds with each storm.

Services

Our Core Storm Water Damage Restoration Services

Below is the work contractors in the network handle most often. Tell the dispatcher which one fits, or just describe what you're seeing and they'll sort it out.

Standing Water Pulled Out Fast

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.

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.

Good residential pros document everything with photos and moisture readings, which makes the insurance side much easier if you file a claim.

Water Damage Help for Businesses

Businesses lose revenue every hour the doors stay shut. Commercial contractors bring bigger equipment, including desiccant dehumidifiers and multiple extraction units, and they'll schedule around your operating hours when the space allows.

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

Removing visible water is half the job. Contractors set air movers to push air across wet surfaces and refrigerant or desiccant dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air, then check progress daily with moisture meters until materials reach dry standard.

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

After drying, the contractor replaces whatever had to come out: ceiling panels, wall sections, insulation, trim, carpet pad, or hardwood. A lot of pros in the network do mitigation and rebuild both, which keeps one crew accountable start to finish.

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

Category 3 Water and Storm Flooding

Sewage backups and outside floodwater are Category 3, meaning they carry bacteria and other contaminants. Contractors wear protective gear, remove porous materials like carpet pad and the lower section of drywall, and disinfect every surface the water touched.

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.

The Process

How It Works When You Call

Four steps, usually in the order below. The first one takes about two minutes.

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

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.

Inspection before any work

On site, the contractor traces the source, maps wet areas with meters and a thermal camera, and explains the scope and price before work starts.

Work completed and documented

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.

Customer Stories

Recent Notes From People Who Called

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, Kent 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, Kent 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, Kent 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, Kent 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

What People Ask Before They Call

How fast can a Storm Water Damage Restoration technician arrive in Kent County?

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.

Do you provide upfront pricing?

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

What emergency services are available?

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

Is Business Leak Detection the company that does the work?

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.

Will homeowners insurance cover water damage?

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.

How long does it take to dry out a house after water damage?

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.

What should I do while I wait for the contractor?

Shut off the water at the main valve, turn off power to wet areas if you can reach the breaker safely, move valuables and electronics out, and take photos for insurance.

Can I dry water damage myself with box fans?

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.

How soon does mold start after water damage?

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.

Do the contractors work on commercial properties?

Yes. Many contractors in the network handle offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, and multi-unit buildings, including after-hours work and containment.

Is the referral service really free?

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

Should I verify the contractor's license and insurance?

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.

Service Area

Where Contractors Are Available in Kent County

Calls come in from houses, condos, rental units, and businesses in Kent County, 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.

Kent County 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.

Travel distances in a county are longer than inside one town, so the line routes each call to whichever contractor sits closest to the property, not just the biggest name in the county.
