Information We Collect
Missouri Water Damage Pros collects information necessary to respond to your water damage restoration needs and provide effective emergency services. When you contact us through our website or by phone, we may collect your name, phone number, email address, physical address of the affected property, and details about the water damage situation you are experiencing. This information helps us assess the urgency of your situation, dispatch the appropriate team, and prepare the necessary equipment before arriving at your location.
For website visitors who browse our pages without submitting a form, we automatically collect certain technical information through standard server logs. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This data helps us understand how visitors interact with our website and identify opportunities to improve user experience.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information you provide solely for the purpose of delivering water damage restoration services and communicating with you about your specific situation. When you submit a request for emergency service, we use your contact details to return your call promptly, coordinate our response team, and keep you informed about estimated arrival times. We may also use your information to follow up after service completion to ensure your satisfaction and address any remaining concerns.
With your explicit consent, we may occasionally contact you regarding related services such as mold remediation, structural drying verification, or assistance with insurance documentation. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any communication beyond your immediate service needs will include clear opt-out instructions.
Phone Call Handling
Missouri Water Damage Pros operates a 24/7 emergency phone line for water damage emergencies. When you call our number, your phone number may be captured through our call management system and stored in our service records. We may record calls for quality assurance, training, and accurate documentation of your service request. If a call is recorded, you will be notified at the beginning of the conversation.
Our phone system integrates with customer relationship management software to track service history and ensure consistent communication across our team members. This allows any available representative to assist you effectively, even if you speak with different people during a multi-day restoration project. Text messages sent to our number may be stored and reviewed to document service requests and scheduling arrangements.

We use essential cookies required for basic website operation, as well as analytics cookies that provide aggregated, anonymous data about page usage and visitor behavior.
We utilize Google Analytics to examine trends in website traffic, identify which pages are most helpful to visitors seeking water damage information, and measure the effectiveness of our online presence.

Third-Party Services
To provide comprehensive restoration services, we may share relevant information with trusted third parties who perform functions on our behalf. These may include insurance companies when you authorize us to document damage for claims purposes, certified industrial hygienists who conduct air quality testing, and specialized contractors for services beyond our scope such as electrical or plumbing repairs. We only share information necessary for these parties to perform their specific functions.
Our website is hosted on cloud infrastructure providers, and we use email and communication services to correspond with clients. These service providers are contractually obligated to maintain appropriate security measures and use your information only for the purposes we specify. We do not permit these partners to use your data for their own marketing or unrelated business activities.
Data Security

Our systems utilize encryption for data transmission, access controls limit employee access to information based on role requirements, and we maintain secure backup procedures to prevent data loss.
While we strive to protect your information, no security system is completely impenetrable. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you promptly in accordance with applicable Missouri law and take immediate steps to mitigate any potential harm. We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
