One of my buddies used a local servpro for mitigation about 6 months ago and had a great experience.

I used a local one a few months ago. I wouldn’t say it was a great experience, but they weren’t horrible either. I had already done most of the work of pulling carpets back, putting dehumidifiers and fans out, and they still billed my insurance around $1500. That kind of losses me off, but supposedly insurance has to have some type of certificate or something from them attesting to all the moisture being mitigated. Sounded like a racket to me, but I’d imagine most people don’t take the steps I did.
