FAQ
Questions homeowners ask us.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We'll come out, find the moisture, and explain what we see at no charge. Free inspections aren't available for properties being sold or about to be sold.
Do you answer at night and on weekends?
Yes, our line is answered 24/7. Tell us if water is still coming in and we'll treat it as an emergency.
Will my insurance cover it?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden events like a burst pipe are often treated differently from slow leaks. We can't decide coverage, but we document the damage thoroughly so your adjuster has what they need.
Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?
No. You can choose who works on your home. Your insurer may suggest a company, but the choice is yours.
Do you do the repairs, or just the cleanup?
Both. KADE is a licensed general contractor (CSLB #1001994), so we can handle drying, cleanup and the rebuild.
