Water damage reconstruction
Rebuilding floors, walls and ceilings after a leak or flood, once the structure is dry.
Water damage reconstruction is the rebuild after the water is stopped and the structure is dried: replacing drywall, insulation, flooring, cabinets, trim and paint. Drying and mitigation are normally done first by a restoration company; we handle the rebuild.
Signs you need it: stained or sagging ceilings, soft floors, swollen baseboards, or a restoration company's report calling for materials to be removed. Hidden moisture can leave mold or rot in wall cavities, so we ask for the moisture readings and any lab results before closing walls back up. Mold removal itself is a separate specialty.
The order is: stop the source, dry the structure, document for insurance, scope the rebuild, permits where framing or systems are touched, rebuild and finish. Photos of the damage and the mitigation invoice help us price accurately.
We have not collected a sourced local price range for water damage rebuilds, so none is shown here. The price comes from a written quote after a site visit.
Common questions
Should the water damage be dried before you start?
Yes. The structure should be dried and checked first, usually by a restoration company, so we do not close up wet materials.
