While you wait for the contractor, do these four things
Most of the harm in a water loss comes from the hours before drying starts.
Stop the water at the source
Close the shutoff valve for the fixture, or the main valve for the house. If you cannot find either, the water agency can close the supply at the meter. The utilities guide names the agencies for Hemet.
Keep out of rooms where water meets electricity
Wet outlets, wet ceilings with light fixtures and standing water around plugged-in devices are the dangerous cases. Leave the breaker panel alone if you have to stand in water to reach it.
Photograph before you move anything
Wide shots of each room first, then close-ups of the source, the stain edges and ruined belongings. Your insurer will ask for them.
Call your insurer and this number
Reporting the loss starts the claim. The call on this site connects you with a contractor, which is a separate decision from your claim.

Hemet homes and where the water comes from
Hemet had 93,649 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate. Most addresses fall in ZIP codes 92543 and 92545. A small part of the city lies in 92544.
Water reaches a Hemet address from one of three agencies. The City of Hemet serves a 5.25-square-mile core, and Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District serve the rest of the city. Which one you call about a street leak depends on your address.
If your house sits on a concrete slab, supply lines can run in or under the floor, and a leak there shows up as warm spots, a running meter or damp flooring. If you live in a manufactured home, the floor system is different and so are the first steps.
Hemet water and sewer utilities, slab leaks and manufactured homes each have their own page.
What happens when you call
A person answers and asks for your ZIP code and a few words about the damage. If your ZIP code is one the contractor network covers, the call is passed to an independent restoration contractor who talks through the job with you. Any agreement is between you and that contractor.
The contractor, not this site, sets the schedule, the scope and the price. Ask for the contractor's California license number before you agree to anything, and look it up with the state.
