If drywall gets wet, whether you need to replace it depends on a few things. For example, how much water it soaked up, what kind of water it was, and how long it stayed wet. Typically, if it has been less than a few days, we can use specialized equipment to dry out the materials in your home without having to do significant drywall removal. We are able to mitigate the amount of water damage and ultimately lower the overall cost.
Other factors can play into whether drywall (or other materials) should be removed. For example, exterior walls should be insulated. When moisture is absorbed by insulation in a wall it can be very difficult to dry out. It might be more cost-effective to remove the drywall and insulation and replace it than to spend several days trying to dry it out.
Additionally, if the water came from a contaminated source (like a toilet leak) or was contaminated as it passed through hazardous material (animal feces in an attic or pre-existing mold) it is critical to remove and remediate those areas. If the drywall or paint begins to bubble or sag, it may be easier to remove and repair than to try to save it.
While some water leaks may be easy enough to do yourself, there are a variety of factors that can impact and prevent the overall damage done to your home. Our process is designed to bring out the best possible outcome for your health, home, and pocketbook.
In the case of an active water leak, the mitigation portion of the process normally takes only a few days. Mitigation in terms of Restoration work includes drying out with dehumidifiers and commercial grade air movers, as well as any demolition or removal that needs to take place.
Once the active leak has been stopped and properly dried out, we will submit an invoice to your insurance company for the mitigation work. We also will submit an estimate for the cost of repairs.
Most insurance adjusters want to get the repairs moving as quickly as possible. That being said, it can take a few days for them to review all of the documentation we submit. They also typically want to try to negotiate the best price possible.
Once we have an agreed upon scope of work and deposit, we can begin scheduling the various trades to start the repairs to your home. Most are able to be scheduled immediately and we make every effort possible to move as quickly as possible.
Typically we are able to complete most projects including mitigation, negotiations with your insurance and complete repairs within 3-5 weeks. This depends largely on how quickly your insurance company and adjuster process your claim.
Filing a home insurance claim for water damage depends on the cause or source of the water, the extent of damage, and your insurance policy coverage.
Most insurance carriers cover sudden and accidental damage. If you had a pipe leak burst through your walls, more than likely that would be covered. The key is that insurance is looking for sudden or immediate. If you had a leak that happened days, weeks or months ago and wasn’t properly taken care of, those circumstances can become more challenging to cover.
Depending on how much water and the extent of water damage can decide whether it is worth making a claim to your insurance. Typical insurances deductibles can range from $1,000-$2,000 or with some insurance carriers it can be 0.5% - 1% of your dwelling coverage. Smaller water damage claims maybe less than your out of pocket deductible.
That's why we suggest getting your free visual inspection before making a claim. We have the experience of working with a variety of large and small insurance companies. We can help you to decide if this type of loss would be covered, any potential concerns with your insurance company, and if the cost is less than your deductible.
Yes! Unlike many other restoration companies, we also provide an estimate to complete the repairs for the water damage to your property. We work with some of the best trade companies in the state and aim to provide the best quality at the quickest turnaround.
If you have a family member, friend or a favorite contractor who you’d like to incorporate into the repair process, we can include them or hand-off to them as well.
When a bad storm hits or a dishwasher overflows, you may be tempted to handle this one yourself. Maybe even grab a few towels or a mop and now the water is completely gone. It’s true there are some instances where a restoration company just isn’t the right fit for the job. Which is why we offer free estimates on Water Damage Inspections.
However, many times water can seep further underneath carpet, the carpet padding, cabinets, baseboards and up into the walls. This makes it very difficult for the water to escape back up into the air and can start to cause mold growth or other problems with the home. Also these problems aren’t always visible to the naked eye and take special equipment to identify and extract the moisture out of your home.
You may have seen the posters with a huge iceberg lurking below the water and a very small portion poking above the surface. This can very much be true when talking about water damage (“floods”) in your home. In the case of a storm damage there might have been a surge of water that finally made a pool or water or yellowing stain visible to you but much of the water can drain to other areas and still be trapped behind drywall and insulation. Have the peace of mind and our team of restoration experts can inspect your home for any possible hidden water damage.
