Will my homeowners insurance pay for these calculated costs?

Yes! Sudden and accidental water discharges (such as ruptured frozen pipes, appliance leaks, and sudden water heater failures) are standard covered perils. We submit line-item documentation directly to your carrier so that you only pay your policy deductible.

Can I save or share my calculated estimate?

Yes. Every change you make to the unit toggle, square footage, category, or options automatically updates the URL in your browser. You can click 'Share Estimate URL' to copy a direct link to send to your insurance adjuster, spouse, or contractor.

How are the industrial dehumidifiers and air movers sized?

We follow ANSI/IICRC S500 psychrometric guidelines. Dehumidifier requirements are calculated based on room cubic volume divided by the water damage class factor, producing the target AHAM pints per day (PPD). Air movers are calculated based on affected wall perimeter linear footage.

How Michigan Water Damage Restoration Costs are Calculated

Understanding the line-item expenses behind insurance-approved mitigation estimates.

1. Standing Water Extraction

Truck-mounted extraction wands and submersible pumps physically evacuate water from flooring and pads. Standard Michigan rates range from $0.45 to $1.25 per sq ft depending on depth and floor type.

2. Industrial Equipment Rentals

Commercial LGR dehumidifiers ($135–$165/day) and high-velocity air movers ($35–$45/day) must run continuously for 3 to 5 days to reach target moisture baselines without damaging subflooring.

3. Biohazard & Sanitization

Greywater (Category 2) and sewage/floodwater (Category 3) require EPA-registered botanical antimicrobials ($0.35–$0.65/sq ft), contaminated drywall flood cuts, and HEPA air scrubbers.
