Water damage? Do this right now
- ✓
Shut off the water
Close the main shutoff valve — usually where the water line enters the house, or at the meter near the street. For a single fixture, use its own valve.
- ✓
Cut power to wet areas
Turn off breakers for affected rooms if you can reach the panel without standing in water. Never touch outlets or cords while standing in water.
- ✓
Move belongings off wet floors
Lift furniture, electronics, rugs, and papers to a dry area. Put foil or wood blocks under furniture legs you can’t move.
- ✓
Document everything
Take photos and video of the damage and affected belongings before anything is moved or thrown out. Your insurance claim will need them.

Don’t use a household vacuum — and avoid sewage
Regular vacuums aren’t built for water and create a shock hazard. Avoid contact with sewage or floodwater — it can carry bacteria.

Common Causes of Water Damage in Nevada City
Damage gets worse every hour it's left untreated. These are the problems Nevada City property owners run into most.
Frozen pipes in older homes
Many Nevada City houses were built long before modern insulation, with plumbing in drafty crawlspaces and exterior walls. Cold snaps can freeze and split those lines, flooding floors and walls when they thaw.
Steep-lot runoff and Deer Creek
Water moves fast on Nevada City’s hillsides. In heavy rain, runoff can overwhelm culverts and drains and push water into basements, crawlspaces, and lower-level rooms, especially near Deer Creek and the ravines that feed it.
Snow and falling trees
Wet snow and wind bring down trees and limbs across Nevada City. During the 2023 winter storms, thousands of local PG&E customers lost power for days, and trees falling onto roofs let water pour into attics and ceilings.
Aging drains and sewer lines
Old clay and cast-iron sewer laterals in the historic core are vulnerable to roots and cracks, and rural properties outside the city often rely on septic systems. Either can back up into the home during heavy rain.
Every moment counts in a water damage situation in Nevada City. Take crucial action now.

Worried About Cost or Insurance?
Straight answers to the questions people ask most before they call.
Will my insurance cover it?
Most property policies cover sudden and accidental damage — like a burst pipe, a failed water heater, or a fire. They often exclude damage from long-term leaks, neglect, or flooding from outside, which typically requires separate flood insurance. Check your policy or call your insurer to confirm.
Do I have to pay everything up front?
Contractors in our network offer a no-obligation estimate first. Many restoration contractors work directly with your insurance company and bill the claim, so you’re often responsible mainly for your deductible. Confirm payment terms with the contractor before work begins.
Should I call my insurance company or a contractor first?
Make the property safe and stop the damage first — most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Report the claim promptly. A restoration contractor can document moisture readings and damage, which helps support your claim.
Can I choose my own restoration contractor?
In most cases, yes — and it’s worth thinking about. Your insurer may suggest a contractor from its preferred-vendor program, but you’re generally free to choose who works on your property. Program contractors typically follow pricing and scope guidelines set by the insurance company, which can limit the work to what the program allows rather than everything your property needs. That’s why many property owners prefer an independent contractor who works for them and advocates for a complete, proper repair. Restore Your Property connects you with independent local contractors who work with every major insurance carrier.

Water Damage in Nevada City: FAQs
How can I tell if water has gotten into my Nevada City crawlspace or basement?
Look for damp or musty smells, wet insulation hanging from the floor, standing water, or efflorescence on foundation walls. On steep lots, check the uphill side after storms. If water is present, it should be pumped out and the space dried to protect framing and prevent mold.
Is the referral service available during a storm or power outage?
Yes. Contractors in our network offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. Call (855) 919-8808, enter ZIP code 95959, and you will be connected with an available contractor serving Nevada City, or told if none is available.
Will my homeowners policy pay for storm runoff in my basement?
Usually not. Standard policies typically exclude flood and surface water from outside, which requires separate flood insurance, while sudden plumbing failures are usually covered. Check your policy or call your insurer before assuming coverage.
