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.

A lot of customers I deal with think mitigation companies are a racket. They charge you/your insurance company for fans/dehus to dry while most of the time using your electricity. They just set the fans up and it’s like $30-$40 per day for a fan and more for a dehu. Then they charge to monitor the equipment while dreaming up anything else they can charge.
Then they try to dry your floors/drywall for ten days and then pull the floors/cut drywall so they are essentially double dipping. Because they are charging to dry something they were unable to dry.
I tell my mitigation reps if I t hasn’t dried in 4 days, yank the equipment and start doing the demo.
