How much does water damage restoration cost? Water damage is one of the major reasons behind home insurance claims through the US. Water damage can have devastating after-effects on your home because it destroys more than just your furniture and carpet. The damage caused by faulty plumbing, old lines, weather, and storms continues to rise, and the cost of repairs can reach thousands of dollars very quickly. While one may feel tempted to save money by doing the restoration work themselves, it’s best to leave this job to the professionals. Without the technical training and experience needed to do this work, you can end up doing more harm than good without even knowing it. Moreover, if the source of water damage is contaminated, it puts you and your family at a high risk of exposure to harmful bacteria, viruses, chemicals and molds. If you’re wondering how much do water damage restoration services cost, here’s what you need to know. Common Types of Water Damage and Repair Costs Roof Damage There can be a number of reasons behind leaky roof, including damaged flashing, worn boots around pipes, shingles coming off due to high winds, nail pops, ice dams created on the roof due to snow melting and refreezing, etc. Small roofing repairs can cost as little as
50 but could range to
0,000 or more for steep slopes and high peaks or large areas. Basement Flooding Basement Flooding Whether you have clogged drains, sewage backups or burst pipes, the basement of your house is an area that is prone to flooding simply because it is below the rest of the home. Repair costs will vary depending on the cause and extent of the damage. Losses related to clean water will be significantly less costly because many items can be dried.  These types of losses will range from
,000 - $5,000 in most cases. Losses from ground water or sewage back ups will generally cost a minimum of $5,000 and will likely be significantly more. Drywall Damage Drywall damage repair can cost within the range of $300 to $800, depending on the severity of water damage.  In many cases the drywall repair isn't that significant but it will often require at least some painting and trim work which can drive the cost up significantly. Flooring Damage Depending on the age of the flooring, repairs may not be possible.  Dye lots change, patterns change and styles change almost annually.  When vinyl or carpeting is damaged it will often require removal and replacement or a creative solution to hide the damage.  Laminates and engineered woods are extremely sensitive to water and in our experience almost always need to be replaced.  Even waterproof plank flooring will often have to be removed and replaced in order to access the wet subfloor below for drying. Stained concrete, solid hardwoods and sometimes tile flooring and carpets can be saved if they are wet.  These floors are more durable and respond better to drying methods than some of the others. Burst Pipes Burst pipes and supply lines are the most frequent culprits behind water damage. The repair work can cost anywhere between $5-
000 for most repairs.  In many cases we see thousands of dollars of damage caused by failure of a $5 supply line.  We recommend replacing supply lines every time a fixture is replaced and in the case of supply lines with plastic nuts, every 7 years. To Sum Up Water damage is a serious issue that requires immediate and expert attention. So, if you’re experiencing any water-related damage around your home or business, seek help from a professional restoration service.  They should be able to guide you on what to do to contain the damage, minimize the impact to your life or business and put you a path to getting things fixed.
