There are few things more distressing and disruptive to the average homeowner than the havoc that water damage can cause. Whether it is from flooding, natural or unnatural, or what seemed like just a small leak just a few days before, the chaos and destruction excess moisture can cause can be devastating.
Unfortunately, in many Cases, there is more to dealing with water damage than locating the source of the water and getting out the wet/dry vac. The full extent of the damage from a leak is often not immediately visible; problems often lurk behind drywall and insulation or under the floors, so calling in a professional general contractor to access the damage as soon as possible is crucial.
The reasons for calling in a pro are twofold. Firstly, removing areas of drywall and other structural elements can potentially cause even more damage than the original flood, so it is not a job for an amateur, even one who is very DIY savvy. The second reason is your insurance claim.
The procedure for making a successful claim requires a great deal of documentation that must be accurately completed, which a general contractor can help you do. Many flood insurance policies even mandate that repair work must be carried out by a licensed professional for the claim to be considered.
There can sometimes be a silver lining to the whole nightmare that is a flood. You can take this as an opportunity to restore or completely revive the look of the affected area, or to upgrade electrics or plumbing work that have been temporarily exposed by the removal of drywall.
