re: Advice for flooded home due to pipe burst

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.
