Water Restoration vs Water Mitigation vs Water Remediation

Are you a water restoration, water mitigation, or water remediation company?  The answer is all of them.

The insurance industry refers to contractors, who help customers with water damage, as water mitigation or water remediation companies.  Essentially, all the labels referenced above describe a water damage restoration company.  If your insurance company tells you that you need to find a water mitigation or water remediation company, just understand that they are all the same thing.

The important thing is to make sure the company is properly qualified to provide water damage restoration services, that they have experience navigating the water damage insurance claims process, and they have a good history of making customers happy.

Water Damage Insurance Coverage

The majority of our customers are placing claims with their insurance companies to cover our services.  Water damage can be very unexpected, disastrous and expensive, so most people do not have the disposable income set aside to pay for water damage restoration.  It is always important for home owners to look over their insurance policies with their agents to make sure they will be covered when water damage happens.

Flooded Basements

If you have a basement, its not a matter of if it will flood but when it will flood.  Basements by design are very susceptible to water damage.  Since they are built below ground they are constantly fighting mother nature by trying to move and pump the water that attempts to penetrate the basement walls.  A Flooded basement is one of the most common types of water damage and since basements flood frequently, insurance companies usually have some coverage limits for them.
