For West Paris, ME residents, the first few hours after water appears largely decide how much drywall, flooring and framing can be rescued.

One phone call is all it takes. The dispatcher will ask where the water is coming from, whether it is still running and how many rooms are affected, and then routes you to a contractor who actually works your zip code.
