Water Damage in the Louisville, KY Area

Many factors come into play to determine the final cost of your mitigation. Upon our initial inspection, if requested, we can estimate the cost of the water mitigation on the available information and measurements taken at that time. The final cost cannot be determined until the dry-out process is fully complete, as sometimes more materials may need to be removed, or we may run into fungal growth.

Many insurance policies cover water damage, but coverage can vary depending on the cause (storm, burst pipe, plumbing malfunction, localized flood, sump pump failure, etc.). We encourage you to call us so we can work with your insurance adjuster to make sure that the full scope of the claim is outlined and agreed upon from the start.

The duration depends on the types of materials that were affected by water. Drywall, carpet, and hardwood floors will take longer to dry than other materials. Rest assured that we do our best to finish any water damage clean up properly and efficiently.

The short answer is yes if the residence is safe. The safety of our customers and employees is our number one priority. Each case is different depending on the severity of the damage and is evaluated on its own problems. We help you to remain in your residence when feasible. However, if deemed hazardous, we can suggest to your insurance company to provide you with a temporary relocation. The drying equipment can be loud and usually must run for several days continuously during the drying period to achieve our drying goals. This is your personal decision. We do need to access the home each day of the drying process to monitor the equipment until the home is dry. We can set up a lock box if you will not be living in the home during this time.

We recommend leaving this to professionals, especially if the water contains contaminants. DIY methods can miss hidden moisture, which could lead to more damage later. Also, many insurance claims require documentation of the loss BEFORE any work is done, including removing the water. Always take plenty of photos of the damage you see before taking cleaning up the mess.

We will evaluate the damage and attempt to restore everything possible. A water damage restoration technician from ANR Restoration will help you sort through the property's contents to determine what can be safely dried, what can be restored by a textile/contents technician, and what can't be saved or salvaged.

Identifying the source of the water damage is one of the first steps in both the insurance claim process and before beginning to dry out and repair the damaged areas. We will pinpoint your water damage's exact cause and ensure the source is repaired. We make sure your restoration job is done right the first time.
