When property damage occurs, it’s normal to have questions about what happens next.
Restoration Network is here to provide clear answers and guidance so you can move forward with confidence. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and businesses in Maple Grove and the northwest Twin Cities.
Yes. Restoration Network provides 24/7 emergency services for water, fire, and storm damage. Our team is available day or night to respond when you need help.
How quickly can you respond?
We aim to respond within two hours of your call, depending on location and current conditions. Our goal is to arrive as quickly as possible to stabilize the situation.
What should I do immediately after property damage?
Your first priority is safety. Once the area is safe, contact a restoration professional as soon as possible. Acting quickly can help prevent further damage and reduce long-term repair costs.
Water Damage
How quickly should water damage be addressed?
Immediately. Water can spread quickly and begin damaging materials within hours. Prompt response helps prevent structural issues and reduces the risk of mold growth.
Can water damage lead to mold?
Yes. Mold can begin forming within 24–48 hours in damp conditions. Professional drying and moisture control help reduce this risk.
How long does water damage restoration take?
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage. Drying typically takes several days, while full restoration may take longer depending on repairs needed.
What should I do if I have a sewage backup?
Avoid contact with contaminated water and contact a restoration professional immediately. Sewage backups require specialized cleanup to safely remove contaminants and restore affected areas.
Fire & Smoke Damage
What should I do after a fire?
After the fire department clears the property, contact a restoration team as soon as possible. Securing the structure and addressing smoke damage quickly is critical.
Can smoke damage affect areas not directly burned?
Yes. Smoke and soot can travel throughout a property and settle in areas far from the fire source.
Can belongings be saved after a fire?
In many cases, yes. Many items can be cleaned, deodorized, and restored depending on the level of damage.
Storm Damage
How do I know if my property has storm damage?
Signs may include missing shingles, damaged siding, dented gutters, or water intrusion. Some damage is not immediately visible, which is why inspections are important.
Should I get my roof inspected after a storm?
Yes. Even if there are no visible leaks, storms can weaken roofing materials and lead to future problems.
