Last year, after we had a water line break in the basement, I had to hire a company that specialized in water damage repair. I was not sure who to hire, or even if our insurance company would pay for it yet. I called some MN remodelers that I had used before, to see if they could help me.
The MN remodelers told me that they could help me with the water damage repair, and they would personally call our insurance company to talk over the details of repayment. They came to inspect the damage and told us that they would have to replace most of the drywall on the east side of the basement due to the fact that it was starting to mold. They could treat almost everything else, and they also suggested just cleaning the carpet, but I wanted it replaced. I could not see how it would be safe to keep something that had been wet for so long and could possibly be so contaminated.
Our insurance company paid for the water damage repair, and we just had to come up with our deductible. They worked really well with the MN remodelers that were doing the work for us, and I was relieved when it was all completed. I hope that this never happens again, but if it does, I know who to call for help.
