Document with a lot of photos.
The insurance may have cleanup companies they could recommend or on contract.
I used my own as was not happy with them, but the equipment will be needed to dry out stuff. Insurance paid it.
I used my own contractor to replace/repair drywall, baseboards, paint, etc. The cleanup company was outrageous with their estimate and I did not know the quality of their work. Insurance paid it.
Check you plumbing carefully because you do not want it to happen again.
I went with re-routing hot and cold to PEX in the attic as opposed to remaining with the original copper pipe in the slab. I paid it.
It was a hot water line that burst last summer and did not want it to happen again with that or the cold line.
My house is over 50 yrs old.
