There is no set amount of time for the restoration process. It typically depends on how much water damage was done and the things that need repairs and restoration. If you had a small amount of water damage, where only drywall was damaged, and the paint on the walls wasn’t affected, then the process typically takes five days or less. For example, if there is mold contamination in this scenario, it will take considerably less time because removing the mold is quick work.

If there is structural damage and it is quite massive, it would require more time. If there was a lot of water damage to clean up, it could take a few days to weeks. Structural restoration is quite extensive and has to be done in stages due to the drying process. If there was permanent damage to your house, you can be certain this phase of the restoration period will last longer.

When you hire AAA Water Damage Repair to handle your water damage removal and restoration, we will give you a timeframe for each step of the process. After our initial inspection and assessment, we’ll be able to provide you with an estimate of how long it will take. If everything goes well, we will do the job within the time we specify. If there are any unforeseen events that will stall or speed up the process, we’ll also let you know.

But regardless of how big your tab might get with restoring your home, we can guarantee you this:

• It will always cost less than the alternative – not doing anything about it! Living in a water-damaged home without making the necessary repairs can easily result in poor living conditions and health problems.
• If you don’t have insurance, that’s one thing – many people choose not to get it because it can be expensive, and many people claim they don’t need it. However, I would recommend home insurance as a form of financial protection from events such as those mentioned above. It could potentially save you thousands upon thousands of dollars.
• If you do have insurance, getting the necessary repairs done as soon as possible is best. Even if you can’t afford to pay for it at this time, you will save yourself a lot of trouble and a lot of money by having your home looked at, and any damage repaired quickly. Insurance companies know that mold spreads quickly and could possibly lead to health risks, so they will usually have you get it taken care of quickly.
• If your home is damaged enough that the insurance company has to take over, chances are you may also lose some or all control of how the repairs are done. You will probably need to follow their instructions for them to pay for it. This can sometimes be inconvenient, but remember, they are the ones paying for this, so you may need to do whatever they ask.
