It depends on how much is wet, for how long, and what kind of water it was. On a covered claim, emergency water mitigation is typically paid in full by your insurance. You get a written estimate, and you are copied on everything Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood sends your adjuster. Financing is available if you would rather not file a claim.
No. Most policies require you to take reasonable steps to stop further damage, and drying can't wait for an adjuster's visit. Report the claim to your carrier. Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood starts the minimal amount of emergency mitigation and documents everything with photos and moisture readings, so the adjuster sees the full loss. We won't do any expensive demo before your carrier decides what is covered or you approve it.
If you have an emergency, such as a flooded home, or you already have a claim number for non-emergency work, Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood takes no money up front. If you are not sure yet whether you will file a claim or pay yourself, we collect the amount of your deductible, which you owe either way.
In most cases, you can choose the restoration company you want, including Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood, and we bill your carrier directly. Some Florida policies include a managed repair program that uses the carrier's own vendors, so check your policy or ask your agent. Either way, emergency drying should start right away.
Most homeowners policies cover water damage that is sudden and accidental, such as a burst supply line or a failed water heater. Damage from a slow leak that went on for weeks, or from wear and lack of maintenance, is often excluded. Your policy wording decides. Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood documents the cause, so you have the best chances for coverage. And if it isn't covered, we have options to help you still restore your home when you don't have the money.
Duties after loss are the steps your policy requires once damage happens. They usually include notifying your carrier promptly, protecting the property from further damage, keeping receipts, and showing the damage to the adjuster. Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood helps with the protection and documentation steps. Check your own policy for the exact list.
For a water emergency, Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood dispatches a crew within 1 hour of your call, at any hour, every day of the year. Emergency tarping and board-up are dispatched within 1 hour too. Mold and fire work is booked at a time that suits you, and we try for the same day.
The average mold remediation takes 4 to 5 days. That covers setting up containment, removing damaged material, cleaning and a final cleaning. Testing by an independent assessor before and after the work adds time for sampling and lab results. Repairs follow.
There is no charge for the inspection when the job goes through your insurance claim with Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood. For mold, there is also no charge when you already have a report from an independent mold assessor. We don't inspect old water damage that has already dried.
Yes. Rainbow Restoration of Deerwood offers multiple lending options through third-party lenders, including promotional and longer-term loans, subject to credit approval. Prequalifying is a soft credit check and does not affect your credit score. Owners use financing to avoid filing a claim, to start repairs without waiting on an insurance check, or to cover costs above a policy cap.
