Why this page exists
Use this page when a Philadelphia property has a burst pipe, appliance leak, roof intrusion, finished-basement water, or wet materials that need mitigation and documentation.
Local property context
Rowhome layouts can move water through stacked rooms, ceilings, shared walls, and basement finishes.
Older plumbing, flat or low-slope roof conditions, and dense properties make the first moisture map important before materials are removed.
NovaPro starts with address, source timing, affected rooms, photos, readings, and drying recommendations for carrier review after authorization.

Questions before inspection
How quickly should I call after water damage in Philadelphia?
Call NovaPro as soon as the Philadelphia property is safe and the source is controlled or being controlled. Photograph affected rooms, avoid moving wet materials unless safety requires it, and note when the water was discovered. Early moisture readings, drying recommendations, and condition notes help document the loss before cleanup or demolition alters affected materials.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Philadelphia?
Coverage for Philadelphia water damage depends on the homeowners policy and cause of loss. NovaPro documents observed damage, drying steps, photographs, readings, and work records for carrier review after authorization. NovaPro does not interpret the policy or decide payment, reimbursement, or coverage; those decisions remain with the carrier.
