Emergency water extraction questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in New Haven?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of New Haven Building Department.

How do I check a Connecticut contractor?

Look up their home improvement contractor registration with the Department of Consumer Protection.

How fast should water be extracted?

As soon as possible. Within 24–48 hours, clean water begins to support bacteria and mold, and materials like particleboard and laminate swell beyond saving.

Can wet carpet be saved?

Often, if it was clean water and extraction starts quickly. Carpet pad is usually replaced because it holds water and is inexpensive compared with the drying time it adds.
