Emergency Restoration Crews on Call Every Hour of Every Day

The first few hours after a pipe bursts or a fire is put out set the tone for everything that follows. Water keeps moving into subfloors and wall cavities, soot starts bonding to surfaces, and an opening in the roof lets in more rain with every shower. Stopping that progress early means less to tear out later.


Carey Water Restoration of Oregon answers emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, across Portland, Oregon City, Lake Oswego and nearby communities. Emergency restoration focuses on stabilizing your property and includes:


  • Extracting standing water
  • Removing debris and damaged materials that are making things worse
  • Temporary coverings over exposed roof areas and openings
  • Setting up drying equipment as soon as wet areas are accessible
  • Photos and moisture readings for your insurance claim from the first visit



Full reconstruction is planned separately once drying and cleaning are complete.

EMERGENCIES WE HANDLE

What Our Emergency Crew Does First for Each Type of Damage

Burst Pipes & Plumbing Leaks

The water source is shut off if it's still running, standing water is extracted and drying equipment goes in the same visit.

Fire & Smoke

Once the fire department clears the building, firefighting water is removed, debris is cleared and soot-covered areas are left untouched until they can be cleaned properly.

Sewage Backups

The affected area is isolated, contaminated water is removed by technicians in protective gear, and porous materials it touched are taken out.

Storm Damage

Openings in the roof, walls or windows are covered first to stop more water from getting in. Then debris and standing water are cleared.

Common Questions

Questions About Emergency Restoration

  • Is a sagging ceiling after a leak an emergency?

    Yes. A ceiling holding water can give way without much warning. Keep people and pets out of the room, don't poke the bulge, and call for help right away.

  • Is a sewage backup an emergency restoration situation?

    Yes. Sewage carries bacteria that make it unsafe to clean up with household supplies. Keep children and pets away from the area and avoid touching the water or anything it reached.

  • What's the difference between emergency mitigation and full restoration?

    Mitigation stops the damage from getting worse through extraction, coverings, debris removal and drying. Restoration covers the cleaning and repairs that come after the property is stable and dry.
