What this site is
Water Guide is a plain-English emergency resource for homeowners facing water damage..
Why does this site exist? Because the people on the other side of these disputes have lawyers and playbooks, and you have a search box at midnight. This site evens that out.
Who writes it
Will Tygart is the founder of Tygart Media. He writes plain-English guides for people facing the disputes nobody explains — the questions people actually ask, answered straight, with no industry talking points.
How it's kept honest
- No industry talking points. Nothing here is reviewed or approved by the other side.
- No sales pitch. There is nothing for sale on this site.
- Reviewed regularly. Every page carries a last-reviewed date.
- Corrections welcome. If something's wrong or out of date, it gets fixed — visibly.
