Information We Collect
Idaho Water Damage Pros collects information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us for water damage restoration, mold remediation, or emergency flooding services. This typically includes your name, phone number, email address, physical address of the affected property, and details about your water damage situation. We may also collect information about your insurance provider and policy details if relevant to your service request.
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve our services.
If you submit a contact form or request a callback, we retain the information you provide to ensure we can follow up effectively and provide the emergency restoration services you need.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information solely to deliver water damage restoration services and communicate with you about your project. Specifically, we use this information to respond to your inquiries, dispatch our restoration crews to your location, prepare estimates and work authorizations, coordinate with your insurance company when applicable, and provide updates throughout the restoration process.
We may also use your contact information to send follow-up communications regarding service satisfaction, warranty information, or maintenance recommendations. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
With your explicit consent, we may use before-and-after photographs of restoration work for marketing materials, though we always obtain written permission and never identify clients without their approval.
Phone Call Handling
When you call Idaho Water Damage Pros, your phone number may be captured through our caller ID system and logged in our customer relationship management database. This allows us to return missed calls promptly and maintain accurate records of our communications with you.
Phone calls may be recorded for quality assurance, training, and documentation purposes. If a call is recorded, you will be notified at the beginning of the conversation. Recorded calls are stored securely and are only accessible to authorized personnel who need them to perform their duties. We retain call recordings for a limited period, typically ninety days, unless a longer retention is necessary for dispute resolution or legal compliance.
Emergency calls received outside standard business hours are forwarded to our on-call restoration team. Your information is shared only with the technician assigned to respond to your emergency.

Third-Party Services

We may share information with your property insurance company or adjuster when you authorize us to assist with your claim.
