Water Damage Repair and Restoration
Drying gets your home back to normal moisture levels. Repair is the part that gets it back to normal for you: new drywall, flooring, trim, cabinets and paint, so the rooms look and work the way they did before. Call (888) 596-0163, and we'll connect you with a local specialist from our network.

Rebuilding only after the structure is dry
Repairs start once moisture readings show the framing and subfloor at dry standard. Hanging drywall or laying flooring over wet material traps the water, and that leads to mold, buckled floors and peeling paint. What was removed and what's going back get recorded, with photos and measurements, so the work matches your insurance claim.
- Moisture meters, to make sure the framing and subfloor are dry before anything's closed up
- Drywall tools and texture sprayers, so new walls match the old ones
- Flooring tools for carpet, laminate, vinyl plank, tile and hardwood
- Paint color matching, so new walls and ceilings blend in with the rest of the room
- Photos and measurements of every repair for your insurance file
How the rebuild works
-
Confirm it's dry
Before repairs, there's a final set of moisture readings on the framing, subfloor and any remaining drywall. Closing up a wall that's still wet just sets up the next problem.
-
Scope the repairs
Everything removed during mitigation gets measured and listed, from drywall and insulation to flooring, baseboard and cabinets. That list is matched to your claim, so the adjuster and the repair team are working from the same page.
-
Rebuild
Insulation and drywall go back first, then tape, mud, texture and paint. Flooring, trim and cabinets follow, matched to what was there as closely as the materials allow.
-
Final walkthrough
You walk through the finished rooms and check the work. Photos of the completed repairs go into the file for your insurer.
Water damage repair questions
Can water damage be fixed in a house?
Yes. Once the water's out and the structure has been dried to dry standard, damaged drywall, flooring, trim and cabinets can be replaced. Problems come back when repairs are done over materials that are still wet.
How long does it take for water damage to be repaired?
Repairs usually take one to three weeks after drying, depending on what has to be replaced. Custom cabinets, special-order flooring and waiting on insurance approval can add time. A small drywall patch and a coat of paint go much faster.
What is water damage repair called?
It's usually called restoration or reconstruction. The earlier phase of removing water and drying is called mitigation. Some companies do both, and some hand the rebuild to a separate contractor.
What is the average cost of water damage repair?
It depends on how much got wet, how long the water sat and whether it was clean or contaminated. Replacing a section of drywall and baseboard costs far less than new cabinets and flooring through a whole floor. Your adjuster works from the recorded scope, so good records help.
Does homeowners insurance pay for water damage repairs?
If the water damage itself is covered, such as a sudden burst pipe, repairs to the damaged areas usually are too. The pipe or appliance that failed often isn't. Keep your photos, moisture logs and the list of removed materials, because the adjuster will ask for them.
