Emergency Help

When the Property Is at Risk — We Respond

Rainy Day provides 24/7/365 emergency response for active water damage, storm damage, fire and smoke damage, sewage loss, and other urgent property conditions. Most emergency calls are answered and dispatched in under two hours.

Call 911 first for immediate danger

For fire, electrical danger, gas odor, structural collapse, or any life-safety emergency, leave the area and contact emergency services before calling Rainy Day.

What Counts as an Emergency?

Call When Waiting Could Make the Damage Worse

You do not need to diagnose the source before calling. Start with what you see, hear, smell, or know happened.

Active Water Damage

Urgent when: water is still entering, ceilings are sagging, flooring is saturated, or moisture is near electrical systems.

Storm or Roof Damage

Urgent when: the roof is open, rain is entering, shingles or materials are loose, or interior damage is spreading.

Fire and Smoke Damage

Urgent when: the property has been released by the fire department and needs stabilization, board-up, cleanup, or reconstruction planning.

Sewage or Contaminated Water

Urgent when: sewage, drain backup, or contaminated water has entered occupied areas or contacted porous materials.

Ceiling or Wall Failure

Urgent when: drywall is bulging, materials are falling, water is trapped above the ceiling, or the area is unsafe to occupy.

Commercial or Builder Emergency

Urgent when: damage is affecting tenants, operations, occupied units, inspections, project schedules, or customer handoff.

What to Do First

Take the Safest Next Step

These actions can help limit additional damage while avoiding unnecessary risk.

01Protect People

Leave unsafe areas and avoid standing water, electrical hazards, sewage, unstable ceilings, and active fire conditions.

02Stop the Source if Safe

Shut off water only when the valve is accessible and the area is safe. Do not climb on a storm-damaged roof.

03Call Rainy Day

Tell us what happened, the address, when it started, and whether the damage is still active.

04Document the Condition

Take photos from a safe location and keep damaged materials unless removal is necessary for safety.

Avoid Making It Worse

What Not to Do During an Emergency

The wrong first step can create safety, insurance, and documentation problems.

  • Do not enter standing water near outlets, appliances, electrical panels, or extension cords.
  • Do not disturb suspected mold, sewage-contaminated materials, or fire debris without proper protection.
  • Do not remove wet building materials before the condition is documented unless safety requires immediate removal.
  • Do not climb onto a roof during rain, high wind, lightning, or when the roof surface may be unstable.
  • Do not assume a small stain means a small problem. Water may have traveled behind walls or ceilings.
