Water Damage questions, answered
How much does water damage restoration cost?
Costs run $3–$7 per square foot depending on water category, with typical residential jobs landing between $2,000 and $10,000. Insurance frequently covers sudden events like burst pipes.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Sudden and accidental damage (burst pipe, appliance failure) is usually covered. Gradual leaks and outside flooding typically are not — flood damage needs separate flood insurance.
How fast should water be removed?
Within 24–48 hours. Mold can begin growing in as little as a day, which multiplies the cost dramatically.
Can I dry it out myself?
Surface water, maybe — but water wicks into walls, subfloors, and insulation. Pros use moisture meters and industrial dehumidifiers to verify structures are actually dry.
