Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between water categories?
Category 1 is clean water like a supply line leak, Category 2 is gray water containing some contaminants, and Category 3 is black water like sewage or floodwater requiring more extensive decontamination.
Does this include mold remediation?
No, this estimate covers drying and basic restoration. Mold remediation, if needed, is typically a separate additional cost.
Will my insurance cover this?
Many homeowners policies cover sudden water damage like burst pipes, but not gradual leaks or flooding without separate flood insurance. Check your policy specifics.
