Restoration Company vs. Plumber

A plumber fixes the source

Plumbers address the mechanical cause of a water problem: a burst pipe, a failed valve, a leaking fixture. Their job is stopping water from continuing to enter your home.

A restoration provider addresses the damage

Once the source is stopped, a restoration provider handles what the water already did: extraction, drying, and repair of affected materials. This is a separate skill set from plumbing repair.

Do you need both?

If the water source is still active, you likely need a plumber first. If there's already standing water or wet materials, from either a currently active or already-stopped source, you need a restoration provider. Many situations need both, often at the same time.
