Oahu Water Damage Restoration
Honolulu, Hawaii Residential & Commercial Water Damage Restoration Services
Last month, I got a call from a father in Kailua who’d just come home from his daughter’s volleyball game to find his entire kitchen underwater. The dishwasher supply line had burst while they were gone, and now water was seeping under the bamboo floors his wife had spent months picking out. He kept saying, “We just renovated. We just finished.” I could hear his kids in the background asking if they could still have dinner. In that moment, I wasn’t just looking at a water damage job—I was looking at a family’s Thursday night turned upside down.
That’s the reality of water damage in Honolulu. It doesn’t wait for a convenient time. It happens when you’re at work, when you’re sleeping, when you’re celebrating a birthday. And in Hawaii’s climate, every hour you wait is an hour closer to mold growing in your walls. I started Rescue One Restoration because I got tired of seeing families suffer through what should have been a straightforward fix. Too many companies just extract the water and leave. Too many contractors disappear halfway through the job. Too many homeowners get stuck managing five different people when they’re already overwhelmed.
I promised myself I’d build something different—a restoration company that actually shows up, does the complete job, and treats your home like it’s our own ohana’s home.
Rescue One Restoration is Oahu’s #1 water damage restoration company.
Call (808) 745-1608 for an emergency response or to schedule an assessment and receive a free estimate. Or, you may submit your inquiry through the “Request Service” form, and someone from our team will contact you as soon as possible.
When water damage hits your Honolulu property, whether it’s a burst pipe, storm flooding, or a leaking appliance, you need someone who answers the phone right away and shows up fast. Not tomorrow. Not when it’s convenient. Right now. Because in Hawaii’s humidity, water damage becomes mold damage in less than 48 hours—and once mold takes hold, you’re looking at a much bigger problem.
With R1, there’s no need to hire and manage multiple companies to restore your home’s water damage. We’re a complete restoration company that handles every single step from 24/7 emergency water extraction, structural drying, repairs, and reconstruction to working directly with your insurance company on your claim—because when you’re dealing with a flooded home, the last thing you should have to do is coordinate between a plumber, a restoration crew, and a contractor. Understanding your insurance coverage for damage restoration can be confusing, but my goal is to take that entire burden off your shoulders so you can focus on your family while we focus on bringing your home back.

What To During A Flooding Event or Water Damage Situation
Honolulu Water Damage Safety Precautions
Your trained and IICRC Certified Rescue One Restoration technicians will respond to your property loss properly to minimize damage and keep you and your family safe.
Our response team can be at your property within 1 hour in most locations on Oahu.
Prior to our arrival, here are a few safety precautions you can take and implement:
- DON’T PANIC. It’s normal to feel anxious and stressed during a time of disaster, no matter how severe it is. If you feel overwhelmed, leave the area and get some fresh air. Stay calm and remain safe. Your R1 team will be there soon to take the stress from you – that’s their job. Learn more about restoring serenity during disaster recovery.
- DO NOT walk into any standing water as there may be an electrical shock hazard.
- Be EXTREMELY cautious navigating any wet flooring as it’s slippery. Slips and falls are the most common injuries in water damage events.
- Stop the water source. If it’s safe and you know where the water supply is coming from, shut off the valve. If that’s not possible, shut off the main water supply line of your home. If you can’t, or the hazards mentioned above are present, that’s okay – stay in safety, we’re on the way.
Eliminate Source Of Water Damage
The Rescue One Restoration team’s first priority is to eliminate the water source causing flooding or water damage. Here are some common causes and sources of water damage:
- Plumbing Issues / Burst Pipes
- Water Heater Problems
- Kitchen Appliance Leaks
- Bathroom Fixture Leaks
- Failed Sump Pumps
- Clogged Drains
- Fire Protection Sprinklers
- Fire Extinguishers
- Severe Weather & Natural Disaster
- Leaking Roofs
- Etc.
Eliminate Hazards
Other than eliminating the cause of water damage or preventing further flooding, we’ll assess and eliminate any other potential hazards to keep you safe and prevent further property damage. It may include:
- Powering down electrical breakers
- Roof tarp over and/or board-ups
- Content pack-outs
- Structural reinforcement
- Etc.
Water Extraction
Your R1 team will then proceed with the water extraction process utilizing our Rapid Drying Technology. This is where our technology excels from other Oahu extraction companies.
Where it takes other water extraction companies multiple days or even weeks to dry your property, our systems and processes take a fraction of that time.
That means your home will be back to normal (even better) faster!
Structural Drying
We’ll extract and dry your property thoroughly and properly. On the surface, your property may appear to be dry. But moisture can be lingering between or in areas you can’t see, which exposes the risk of mold forming or further structural water damage to your home.
Our water extraction technology and processes eliminates all moisture from the affected areas.
Water Damage Assessment
Once our water extraction team has eliminated the inflicted areas’ moisture, we’ll thoroughly inspect the water damage to your property. This assessment includes structural water damage to your home, mold inspection, and other hazards caused by the water damage. Understanding the hidden dangers of home water damage is crucial for long-term home safety.
Repair and/or Reconstruction
With other companies, they’ll extract the water and leave you to find your own repairman or construction company to repair the damages. Not with us. We take care of your home’s restoration from beginning to end.
We are licensed contractors that will provide all repairs and reconstruction needed to restore your home.
From drywall repairs, painting, structural reconstruction to full home reconstructions – large or small, we take of them all. Wondering if you need to replace your wet drywall? We can help you make that determination.
