We at North Eastern Restoration work with all insurance carriers. Our team understands the stress and strain that water damage can cause, and dealing with insurance shouldn't add to your worries. We strive to make our client's lives easier by providing all the necessary documentation and readings directly to your insurance. This way, you can rest easy knowing that we've got you covered and you can receive the maximum coverage your policy allows.

The duration of the water damage restoration process can differ significantly based on the extent and severity of the damage. On average, you can expect the complete remediation to take approximately 1-2 weeks. However, it's important to note that every case is unique, and some could require additional time. We're committed to thoroughness and quality above all, and we're with you every step of the way, ensuring the job is done right, no matter how long it takes.

The cost of water damage repair can vastly fluctuate, depending on the extent of damage your property has sustained. Typically, you might find yourself facing anywhere from $1,300 to $5,600 in repair costs. But here's the silver lining: when you choose us at North Eastern Restoration, we lighten that financial load by working directly with your insurance. Our goal is to ensure you receive the maximum coverage possible on your water damage claim. We're not just about restoring your property, but also about bringing peace of mind back into your life.

Water damage can result from various sources, but some tend to occur more frequently than others. Here are some of the most common causes we encounter:

• Leaking or Busted Pipes: Our years of experience have taught us that aging or damaged plumbing pipes can often develop leaks or burst, causing water to flood into your property. This is a prevalent source of water damage.
• Appliance Failures: Malfunctions in household appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and water heaters can lead to leaks or even flooding in your home.
• Roof Leaks: Damaged or improperly maintained roofs can allow rainwater to seep into your home, leading to water damage in ceilings and walls.
• Clogged Gutters: When gutters and downspouts are clogged with debris, rainwater can overflow and infiltrate your home's foundation or walls.
• Foundation Cracks: Cracks or gaps in your home's foundation can allow groundwater to enter, resulting in basement flooding or even structural damage.
• Heavy Rainfall and Storms: Severe weather events, including heavy rainstorms and hurricanes, can lead to flash flooding and extensive water damage.
• Sewer Backups: Sewer or septic system backups can release contaminated water into your property, posing health risks and causing significant damage.
• Blocked Drains: Blocked or slow-draining sinks, toilets, or shower drains can lead to localized water damage in your bathrooms and kitchens.
• HVAC Issues: Problems with your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can cause water damage.
• Natural Disasters: Natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes can result in widespread and severe water damage to homes and properties.
• Frozen Pipes: In cold climates, frozen pipes can burst when the water inside them expands, leading to water damage once they thaw.

Just like homeowners insurance, renters insurance does typically cover water damage, but only if it's from sudden and accidental incidents such as burst pipes or rain entering through a damaged roof. Unfortunately, it generally doesn't cover damage from floods, sewage backup, or gradual leaks. Do remember that your policy covers damage to your personal possessions and might even provide cover if you've inadvertently caused water damage to others. If your rental becomes unlivable due to water damage, your policy may also cover your additional living expenses.
