When water floods your home, you need a plumber and restoration team you can trust. Knight Plumbing, a leader in residential emergency response plumbing in the Treasure Valley with over 20 years of experience, only brings in the best restoration experts to completely dry out and clean up your home.
We stop the leak. They restore your home. Working together to protect you and your home.
One Call and That’s All
Floods and major leaks are stressful – so Knight Plumbing makes the process simple.
- We locate the source of the problem: burst pipes, supply lines, failed fixtures, and more.
- Our restoration team then comes in to focus on the damage left behind – standing water, drying out structures, treating for mold, and coordinating repairs – so you don’t have to.
- One coordinated plan of attack. One phone call and Knight Plumbing will handle the emergency from start to finish.
Warning Signs of Water Damage
Floods aren’t always dramatic. Sometimes the clues are subtle but serious.
Watch for:
- Brown or yellow stains on ceilings or walls
- Musty or “damp basement” odors that don’t go away
- Peeling paint, bubbling drywall, or soft wall surfaces
- Warped, cupped, or spongy flooring
- Swollen baseboards, door frames, or cabinetry
- Damp spots around plumbing fixtures, appliances, or after heavy rain
If you notice any of these changes, schedule an inspection before minor moisture turns into major repairs!
Where Flood Water Usually Comes From
Our teams see some causes of water damage over and over again. Knowing the common sources can help you act faster when something goes wrong.
- Refrigerator or ice maker supply line leaks
- Outdoor hose bibs or interior pipes that freeze and burst
- Failing or leaking water heaters
- Dishwashers and washing machines that overflow or malfunction
- Worn-out shower valves, cartridges, and faucets
- Aging or brittle plumbing materials that finally give way
- Sump pumps that stop working during storms
- Groundwater seepage or heavy storm runoff entering basements or crawlspaces
- Sewer or drain line backups that push contaminated water into the home
Not All Water Damage is the Same
The type of water in your home determines how we clean it up, what materials can be saved, and what safety steps are required.
Clean Water
Comes from sources like supply lines or a water heater. It’s the easiest type of loss to handle, but if it sits too long, it can still lead to mold and structural damage.
Gray Water
Contains mild contaminants from appliances or certain overflows – such as dishwashers or washing machines. Clean up often involves more intensive disinfection and removal of some porous materials.
Black Water
Highly contaminated water from sewage, drain failures, or outdoor flooding. This level of damage requires strict safety procedures and removal of affected carpets, drywall, and insulation.
Our Flood Service & Restoration Process
When you call Knight Plumbing during a flood, we mobilize both plumbing and restoration teams. Speed matters – addressing water early reduces damage, cost, and downtime.
Step 1 – Emergency Response & Inspection
- Knight Plumbing responds to stop the active leak or plumbing failure.
- Our restoration team assesses how far the water has spread and identifies the type of loss.
Step 2 – Water Extraction & Stabilization
- Standing water is pumped and vacuumed out.
- Furniture and belongings are moved or blocked to prevent further damage.
- Initial antimicrobial treatments may be applied to reduce mold risk.
Step 3 – Structured Drying & Monitoring
- Commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, and other equipment dry out floors, walls, and hidden cavities.
- Moisture levels are regularly checked and documented until the structure is fully dry.
Step 4 – Cleaning, Repairs, and Final Walkthrough
- Areas are cleaned and treated as needed for odors and microbial growth.
- If reconstruction is required, a repair plan is coordinated with you and your insurer.
- Before equipment is removed, we walk the space with you to ensure everything meets expectations.
