We recently had water enter our upstairs walking closet.
(Supposedly entered due to ice dam)
The restore company charged over 1500 to remove carpet, underpaid cut away about 8 ft of baseboard to include partial removal (about 4sq ft of drywall)
They also cut a 4x5 hole in ceiling of garage to check for moisture and ran drying equipment for about 4 days(
Cost for the mitigation 1500 +
Now to repair the above items is 4500. (this doesn't include carpet replacement just underpad.
The mitigation had no details on invoice, but the repair estimate has things like "adjust door" "adust shelves"
Both of these and other items were not impacted by water
I have a 2500 deductible and 1500 of it was already directed at mitigation.
I think they are trying to juice the insurance company and something tells me this is common practice.
I'm tempted to get another quote or 2 to see if I can get fair pricing, but either way, I will still end up paying full deductible.
Any thoughts on this?
