4 Factors That Will Influence Costs of Water Damage Repairs

If you’re living in Tempe, AZ, you know just how potentially damaging water can be to your home. From floods and torrential downpours to busted pipes and broken appliances, water damage can hit from many different angles. While it’s always important to know how to prevent or protect against these issues best you can, sometimes it’s just too late. To help you understand the reasons behind your bill, let’s take a look at four factors that influence the price of water damage repairs.

1. Your proximity to the water damage service provider.

The closer you live to a service provider, the less money you’ll be charged. That’s why it’s always a good idea to find a reputable company that offers water repair services in your nearby area to save as much money as possible.

2. The overall size of the water damaged area.

Obviously, you’ll be looking at a higher bill the larger the affected area. The repair job is going to require more manpower, materials, and time for every square foot that is damaged. This is why it’s important to contact a repair specialist right away to help tackle the problem before it spreads and increases your costs.

3. The amount of water still present

Water doesn’t just have to be the cause of your home’s damage, it can also be the reason your bill is higher or lower. If a good amount of water is still present when the repairs are underway, dehumidifiers, water pumps, and other moisture-fighting pieces of equipment will have to be utilized. This prep also adds to the overall time it will take to complete the repair project.

4. Items that received water damage

The type of objects and materials that incurred damage will also impact the price of your water damage repairs. It’s not so much the price of the items but how easy they are to repair. For instance, hardwood floors aren’t as difficult to repair than walls, trim, or carpet. For this reason, they require less labor and fewer working hours, resulting in a lower price for you. The cost of items that need to be fully replaced will also greatly contribute to this cost

I hired Lotus to resolve an issue in my master bathroom. They were prompt and fixed my problem excellently. And they were cost effective. I am very happy with their work. I would use their services again. Call them. They will take care of you.

If I could recommend sainthood it would go to Jill at Lotus restoration services. To make a long short she literally saved us thousands of dollars of expenses. We live 1200 miles from the property we were having issues with. My wife and I talked to over a dozen of different vendors doing various tasks and we spend plenty of money doing so. We received Jills information from one of those vendors and found out that the problem wasn't even ours. Jill took the bull by the horns, made calls on our behalf and lined up what really needed to be done for the tenant below us that was really having the issue. I swear I wouldn't look anywhere else. She's amazing and her customer service is the way customer service should based on. Thank you Jill.

We had a small issue that needed a professional opinion. Even though this was not something that benefited Lotus financially, Jill demonstrated great knowledge and was more than helpful in answering and resolving our questions. Problem solved!

We had an AC water leak in our attic and needed to see if we had black mold as a result. Our appointment was quickly scheduled, Josh arrived 15 minutes early and was incredibly polite, thorough and honest. We are VERY impressed with this company and will use them for future construction repair needs.

I called Lotus on a Sunday night because my AC was leaking into my Ceiling. Jill gave recommendations for HVAC Companies to fix the leak and had a Lotus crew to my house the next morning to clear out the damaged ceiling and to dry out the area. Chris (who worked on everything) was wonderful with answering all of my questions and very responsive to texts. If I could give more stars I would.

Matt Ross was awesome! His professionalism, mannerism, communication, and sweet soul made the experience so much more easier to deal with. Matt actually made me feel like I mattered and the fact that he was not settling for half doing the job really wowed me. He treated my family like his own. Way to go Matt!!!!
