Cost of Water Damage Restoration

Waking up or coming home to a flood is not a situation many wish to find themselves in. In that moment the number of questions that arise can be overwhelming. Where did the water come from? Who should I call first to get this mitigated? Most importantly, how much will this cost? A reputable damage restoration company like Restoration First Services, has the answers.

The Cost of Water Damage Restoration

The average cost of water damage restoration can range from $1,000 to $3,000. However, each water damage scenario is different, caused by different sources and effecting each property differently. Several factors can go into each estimate and final cost for water damage restoration.

Timeliness of Mitigation

Mitigation is key. The sooner water damage is mitigated, the lower the cost. The longer water sits and soaks into porous surfaces, like drywall and wood, the more damage it will cause.

Calling an insurance agent or a professional restoration company as soon as possible after discovering water damage can save homeowners time, money and headaches. The sooner the call, the sooner extraction, drying and restoration can begin.

Category & Class of Water

When considering the cost of water damage, category and class is taken into consideration.

The type of water, or category, is the source in which caused the damage. Water can come from several sources, including broken pipes, poor plumbing or appliances like a dishwasher or washing machine.

Water damage can fall into different classes as well. The class of water damage is dependent on the amount of water vs the area affected.

Level of Restoration

Once the water damage category and class are determined, any reputable restoration company will explain and carry out the level of restoration that is needed. This can include:

• Extraction
• Drying
• Removal of contents or property materials (if needed)
• Cleaning & Sanitizing (if needed)

Again, the level of restoration is dependent on the two previous factors: timeliness of mitigation as well as category and class of the water. These are important in determining next steps and cost.
