What Is the Process of Water Damage Restoration?

From minor water leaks to severe water damage, restoration includes these steps. However, your water damage restoration specialist will explain the process and can answer any questions once they survey the damage.

Identify the Water Source: Our specialists start by assessing the damage and identifying the source of the water. Examples include sewer backups, surface water intrusion, water seepage on the floor, leaks from frozen pipes, and natural disaster flooding.
Water Removal: Next, they extract the moisture from your home to stop gradual damage and limit the risk of mold. They even throw away damaged items like carpeting, furniture, walls, cabinets, and other building materials.
Dry Out: They then dry your home with high-velocity air movers and structural drying dehumidifiers. They will also frequently test for hidden moisture. Depending on the level of water intrusion, drying takes 12 to 72 hours.
Disinfect and Deodorize: Once dry, they disinfect your home to kill mold spores and use ozone machines to stop smells. These treatments limit the potential for additional damage and prevent the need for mold remediation in the future.
Reconstruction: Finally, they rebuild and restore your home. Often this includes installing new carpeting, walls, or cabinets. Once we finish, you will never know it happened.

How Much Does Water Damage Restoration Cost?

The average cost of water damage restoration is $2,700. However, cleanup and repairs can range anywhere from $400 to $7,500 or more. Although it’s natural to worry about the cost for water damage repairs, it will only get more expensive the longer you wait to start the restoration.

What Determines Water Restoration Costs?

Several factors determine the cost of water cleanup and repair.

Level of Contamination: Contamination depends on the class of water damage. Clean water is almost no risk, grey water poses some risk, and black water has a severe risk of danger. It costs more to clean up sewage or flood waters than a broken pipe.
Level of Water Intrusion: Intrusion depends on the gallons of water involved and the rate of absorption into materials in your home.
Size of Area: The total square footage affected also increases the cost. Repairing several rooms is more expensive than just one.
How Long You Wait: Water does more damage with time, so delaying cleanup will only drive up the cost. It also increases the chances you will need additional services to limit mold removal.
Amount of Reconstruction: The greater the loss of property, the higher the cost. The materials involved will also determine the total price. For example, a tile floor is less expensive than a hardwood floor.

Does Home Insurance Cover Water Damage?

Most home insurance policies will cover the cost of water damage caused by a sudden accident. However, they usually do not cover damage from hurricanes or storm surges. Our specialists know how to work with insurance companies and claims adjusters. They can advise if you should file an insurance claim or even bill them directly.
