Water Damage Restoration Process
After the water mitigation phase is completed and the structure has been dried out, our company can now work with your insurance company to get everything repaired.
The first step of the restoration phase is to develop a scope of work with the insurance adjuster. The scope of work allows us to estimate the costs required to bring your home or business back to its pre-loss condition. This requires a period of time where we would walk through the property with your insurance adjuster and then we would use our notes to write a repair estimate.
Some insurance companies require their field adjusters to write repair estimates. If a field adjuster writes the original repair estimate, we would review it before agreeing to complete the work. Sometimes the adjuster can miss items that need to be included. We would write a supplement estimate to compensate for the items that were left out.
If the adjuster allows us to write a repair estimate, we would submit it to your insurance adjuster once we complete it. He or she would review our estimate and if they had questions or adjustments, they would be made at this time. Eventually, we would come to an agreement with the adjuster on a final cost to complete the water damage repairs.
