You increase your chances of obtaining maximum compensation from your insurance company if you use a professional water damage restoration contractor as well. Why? It is because your contractor has the information to deal with the insurance companies with confidence. Where the homeowner has to transact with the adjustors from the insurance companies, there is a risk of insufficient compensation as the adjustor is there to protect the interests of the insurer not those of the victim.
Always hire a water damage expert who has enough experience in restoration. People who choose to do the restoration themselves or those who go for inexperienced or inadequately equipped contractors might cause severe problems by failing to follow very specific but critical steps. An experienced contractor knows numerous drying processes and will immediately know what items require drying. The initial stage is critical because if mistakes are made, bacteria and mold will develop and could cause health problems and damage property.
Homeowners who opt to clean up by themselves will be able to remove visible water but they will have no way of dealing with water that could be caught up in the cavities of the walls. Over time, such water will go undetected until health problems start developing. Professional contractors have the special equipment to detect water in all areas including hidden cavities and will do a full search before any clean-up or drying begins.
