About Framingham Water Damage Pros
A 24/7 dispatch line for water damage in Framingham and the nearby MetroWest towns.
What we do
Framingham Water Damage Pros takes your call at any hour, asks the questions that matter and arranges a licensed and insured restoration crew for water damage, flood cleanup, repair and mold remediation. The work covers Framingham and the towns of Natick, Ashland, Wayland, Southborough and Sudbury.
The goal of the first call is simple. Find out what happened, tell you what to do while you wait and explain how scope and price are set before any work starts. Everything after that depends on what the crew finds when they see the damage.
Water damage is rarely one job. A burst pipe can mean pumping, drying, cleanup, drywall and paint, and sometimes mold work weeks later. The service pages explain each phase so you know what you are being asked to approve.
What happens when you call
A dispatcher asks where the water is coming from, what it has touched and whether anything electrical is wet. They tell you the first safe steps, such as shutting off the main valve and lifting valuables off wet floors, and they ask for your street and ZIP code.
Next, a crew is arranged. Same-day response is the aim when crews are available. We do not promise an arrival time, because storms, road conditions and other emergencies change the schedule, and an honest answer beats a promise that gets missed.
On site, the crew inspects with moisture meters and, where useful, a thermal imaging camera. They explain the scope of work in plain words and how the price is set before they start. If you disagree with the plan, ask them to show the readings behind it.
Getting ready before you call
You do not need to prepare anything to call, and the dispatcher will walk you through the first steps. A few details do make the first conversation faster and the first visit more useful.
Know where your main water shut-off valve is. In many Framingham homes it sits near the water meter in the basement or utility room, and finding it before an emergency saves minutes when it matters. If you rent, ask your landlord or property manager where it is.
Have your homeowners or renters policy information within reach, since your insurer will want to know when the damage was found and what caused it. Take photos and short videos of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, and keep damaged items until your insurer has had a chance to ask about them.
If you are calling for a business or a rental property, say so. Commercial losses, tenant spaces and shared walls bring extra steps such as notifying the property manager and documenting which unit the water came from.
The standards we point to
Two published standards guide professional work in this field. ANSI/IICRC S500 covers water damage restoration, including water categories, drying goals and documentation. ANSI/IICRC S520 covers mold remediation, including containment and verification.
We name them because they give you something to ask for. You can ask any restoration company whether its crews work to S500 and S520, what readings they will record and what documents you will receive. A good answer is specific. A vague one is a reason to ask again.
What we do not do
We do not quote exact prices over the phone, because water damage cannot be priced without seeing it. We do not promise insurance outcomes, because coverage depends on your policy and your insurer decides. We do not waterproof basements, which is a separate trade, and we do not repair roofs, pipes or windows that caused the leak.
We also do not claim awards, review scores or years in business that we cannot show you. What we can show is how the process works and what to expect at each step.

Where we work
Home base is Framingham, ZIP codes 01701 and 01702, including Saxonville, Framingham Centre, Nobscot, the Golden Triangle and Pinefield. Nearby, the same line reaches Natick, Ashland, Wayland, Southborough and Sudbury, with Hopkinton and Sherborn also reached.
The line is answered around the clock, so you never reach a voicemail box at night. If the damage is not an emergency, such as an old stain you want looked at, call during the day and say so. We will explain how an inspection works and when someone can come.
