When Your New House Needs Water Damage Restoration

If you are in the market for a new-to-you house in Eau Claire that isn’t necessarily a new construction, you might have to face some water damage restoration issues. In these cases, call TRAC Solutions to give you a consultation and a good idea of what kind of timeline you are looking at for what will need to happen in your house before you move in. The best and fastest way to get water damages fixed is by hiring a professional to handle them. Here are some things to think about when your house has water damage.

The Estimate

The most valuable piece of information your water damage restoration company can give you is an estimate of how much it will cost to get your home up and running. Many people hear “water damage” and assume that they should just give up on that house because it’s a lost cause. However, water damages can range from very inexpensive and low key to very devastating and expensive. Have a professional walk through the house and give you a consultation on what you need to get done in the house. This will help with negotiations so you can either get a reduced price or the sellers will have it fixed for you.

Move In Date

Some large scale water damage restoration projects will take a bit more time than others. Some won’t be able to be done with people living in the home. These are important pieces of information to know when you are figuring out the logistics of how the move in date is going to work. You may have to put off moving in until the repairs are made, and that can be a sticky situation if you don’t have money for rent as well as the money for your mortgage. Your mortgage bill typically arrives a month after you move in, so you will have a little time where you may not overlap with the rent payments. This could be a lifesaver if you don’t have the money for rent, a down payment, and closing costs.

Other Repairs

Your water damage restoration may not be the only thing that you need to worry about when you are moving into a home. If your home has other repairs that need to be done in conjunction with the water damage, you will need to make sure you are organizing these separate work crews effectively. If this seems confusing and difficult, which it is, you might want to consider hiring a contractor to help you with this. Your restoration company will be happy to communicate with a contractor.

Any repairs on your home can be stressful, especially if you are waiting anxiously to move in. This is why it is vital to hire the TRAC Solutions water damage restoration professionals in Eau Claire who have years of experience backing them. You will know that you are in good hands and that the process will be as fast as possible.
