Getting a water damage estimate and pricing from a professional water damage restoration company is a must for anyone looking to have a company complete their water damage restoration. Any firm that refuses to give you a line item water damage estimate is not to be trusted! If a water damage company refuses to provide you with an estimate, simply move onto the next.

Estimates & Pricing

Many firms will charge to come out and give an estimate, but you may be able to find a few who don't. If you do you have a professional come out, they should be able to give you an itemized estimate of exactly must be done and the cost for each action. Ask over the phone if they provide an itemized estimate. If they don't, do not call them out and do not have them perform the work.

It is very difficult for me to say how much your water damage remediation should cost. Geographic location, severity, and a host of other factors can provide drastically different pricing. The "average" job of Chicago, IL, USA is about 3 rooms and has the approximate price of $2,500.00. Although that is a very rough estimate, it is something to base the quote you receive off of.

If you have insurance that is indeed covering the damage, make sure the firm is IICRC certified and is insurance approved so that you don't get stuck with the bill when your insurance refuses to pay.
