How We Offer Transparency in Restoration and Pricing 

Assessment of Damage 

The level of restoration work required is influenced (among other things) by the type of damage, the property, and the extent of the issues. For example, if a homeowner has recently uncovered long-term water damage, there may be additional issues at play, such as mold or structural damage. A sudden event like a flood or leak will require water extraction and other processes, which will depend on how substantial the event is. 

That’s why, at 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, we begin with an initial assessment of the damage. Our team will arrive on-site to inspect any affected areas. It’s the first step for providing initial information regarding potential next steps for pricing and treatment. 

A Clear Scope of Work

Once we’ve assessed the level of damage, our team will create a clear scope of work for restoration. This allows us to form a personalized plan that is tailored specifically to the needs of the task at hand. It also provides specific details based on what we’ve learned about the property and its damage. We communicate this up front and throughout the restoration process, helping to avoid the surprises of hidden fees and varying timelines.
