Learn about emergency water damage services so you know what to expect!

A knowledgeable customer is more likely to be a satisfied customer.  While some water damage companies in Seattle might not be interested in actually explaining what they’re doing and why, we love nothing more than empowering our customers with the information they need to stay informed.  We want you to be confident in our services, and that’s only possible if you understand what’s going on and are comfortable with every aspect of the project.

One thing you can be sure is that our technicians will follow the right procedures as determined by the IICRC S500 water damage restoration manual.  To any restoration contractor worth their salt, that’s the end-all-be-all.  It lays out the right procedures for any scenario we might run into during your job.  Sadly, most companies don’t even own one, and if they do it’s collecting dust in the back of their truck!

Can you save my carpets, hardwood floors and walls?

When people call a water damage contractor, many times they assume that the first order of business is to tear out anything and everything that got wet.  That’s not entirely true. There’s a couple of things that go into to determining the appropriate mitigation plan.

First, what does the S500 say?  For instance, if you have a sewage backup and raw sewage water has soaked carpet in one room, that carpet must be pulled up and removed, no questions asked (if you have a company telling you otherwise, run!).  Another example is an insulated exterior wall that has been soaked.  Wet insulation can’t be dried, at least not in a way that allows it to maintain its insulating properties.

Next, what is the most cost-effective route to take?  You have to remember that when your insurance company is paying, they’re going to make sure that all work performed is necessary and that the water damage repair services are the most cost-effective steps taken.  If the restoration company you hire takes a route that ends up costing more than replacing the area, your insurer might reject that portion of the claim or not pay for the full cost of the job, leaving you picking up the rest of the tab.

Those things said, absolutely there are things we can do and try to do on every job to be as non-intrusive as possible.  One particular example is the Injectidry system, which allows us to extract sub-surface moisture from drywall, wood floors and cabinetry without having to tear out sections of your home.  The system works by using a system of hoses attached to a high-powered vacuum.  The hoses can either be inserted behind a wall by drilling small holes behind your baseboards or by attaching them to mats placed on your water damaged hardwood flooring.

The In’s and Out’s of the insurance claim process:

An insurance claim for a water loss should be pretty straightforward.  Sadly sometimes things can get hairy and homeowners are often left in the middle trying to figure out what to make of it.

For us, ensuring a quick, acceptable settlement for water damage restoration services boils down to communication.  We have to clearly communicate our professional opinion on the water loss and why every single aspect of the mitigation plan is both necessary and the most cost-effective approach.

How do issues arise when it comes to a claim?

The biggest problem is unscrupulous water damage companies that do a lot of unnecessary work and then try to get the insurance company to pay for those services. Sadly it happens quite often, and usually those companies will have to start up a new company every few years because they’ve burned every bridge in the industry.

How do we make sure the claim is settle appropriately?

We don’t try to rip off your insurance company.  We simply assess the loss and perform the services that are required to get your home fixed.  We have to take into account the cost to your insurer along the way.  As an example, in many cases it can be much more expensive to try and dry out certain surfaces instead of just replacing them.  If we were to needlessly run our systems just to rack up additional costs to your insurer, they would probably take issue.  But again, that is not our approach.  We stand between you and your insurer, and have to make sure to take both parties’ interest to heart to ensure a job well done!
