Having a flood in your home, whether from a severe storm or a broken pipe, is never easy. Water damage costs, even if treated as soon as possible, can still add up quickly since the damage can go deep into your home, leaving much more to clean, repair or replace, and leading to possible issues down the road too. Trust the experts at Dririte USA to help with your flood. We service Florida from coast to coast, leaving you to focus on other things besides your water damages repairs. 

The Areas Itself

You may have a small room that suffered water damage and think that the cost may not be too bad, considering. But sometimes it’s not so much the area itself but the extent of the damage that will drive your overall costs up. A small room may not contain as much water damage, but if it seeped enough into the flooring and that needs to be replaced or repaired, that will cause your costs to increase. Most companies may go into a project by the size of the room, but depending on the extent of the damage, that cost will vary as the water damage repair gets underway. On top of the room size, cost differentials can differ depending on the amount of water in your home as well. If there is standing water either leftover or taken out, that can add extra damage and extra work and equipment for the technicians, leading to more costs. Getting any excess water out of the house may require pumps and extra equipment, as well as additional hours from the technicians. With excess amounts of water in the home, this requires extra drying equipment, such as dehumidifiers and industrial fans, and most likely additional hours to completely dry all the surfaces like walls and floors, which will undoubtedly lead to higher costs in the long run. 

The Real Water Damage Costs

Although the area, size and extent of the water damage are good factors to take into account on determining your overall costs, nothing is more costly in water damage repair than mold growth. Mold is notorious for finding the smallest yet wet conditions to grow, leaving you with an additional cleanup to organize. If enough water entered your home, it could have seeped into the walls and flooring, going deep into the home where it’s hard to find and see, making it tricky to determine if there’s any further damage or growth. It doesn’t take long for the mold to grow, either, typically taking root 24-48 hours after any water or moisture builds up. Getting your restoration underway as quickly as possible can help deter mold, but it may already be too late, so it’s important to ensure a thorough inspection is done on any water damaged areas and that there is no presence of mold. Leaving any mold growth behind can be detrimental to you and your family’s health, as well as your home as it can start affecting the structural integrity of your house. 

The Root Of The Problem

Overall, the cost of your water damage restoration can vary on many factors. Whether it was a smaller room that was affected or only a small amount of water entered your home, chances are your repair costs are going to be minimal. But if the first floor of your home is flooded, or there’s a potential for mold and replacements are needed, the cost is just going to continue to rise. Knowing what to expect during the process can eliminate most surprises once the bill arrives, and getting a reputable company that will stay in contact with you during the process will alert you when things come up, such as mold growth. No matter what, it’s important to fix and restore your home properly the first time, ensuring that everything is clean and repaired and won’t be causing you issues further down the road.
