We work with your insurance company

We work with every major insurance carrier. Our estimates are written in Xactimate, the same estimating software your adjuster uses, so our scope and pricing line up with your claim instead of fighting it. We document the loss from day one with photos, moisture readings, and drying logs, and we can work directly with your adjuster so you are not stuck in the middle. In most covered losses, your out-of-pocket cost is your deductible.

Frequently asked questions

Do you really serve Las Cruces from El Paso?

Yes. Las Cruces and the Mesilla Valley are part of our regular service area, and we dispatch crews 24/7.

Do you work directly with my insurance?

Yes. We work with all major carriers, write our estimates in Xactimate, and document the loss with photos and moisture readings so your claim keeps moving. In most covered losses you only pay your deductible.

Why do swamp coolers cause so much water damage?

Float valves stick, lines crack, and pans overflow, often on the roof where no one sees it. Water runs into the ceiling and walls for days before it shows. If you see a ceiling stain under a cooler, shut the cooler's water off and call us.

What should I do while I wait for the crew?

Shut off the water at the main if you can, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe, and stay out of standing water. Take photos, move valuables to a dry area, and avoid running household fans on wet drywall, which can spread moisture and mold.

Do you respond nights, weekends, and holidays?

Yes. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call 915-259-6230.
