Most times the customer is responsible for paying their insurance deductible and AdvantaClean works directly with your insurance company for the rest of payment. Most often there are recoverable and non-recoverable depreciated items that will be looked at when the insurance adjuster determines the totals for the repair work

Recovery & Restoration - Water Removal
- $39.50 to $64.50 per man hour
Payment for water clean up/structural drying type projects are paid according to insurance rates. Estimates are given to the adjusters as the work progresses. Most times you can't give a total at the beginning of these jobs as you never know the extent of the water damage until you're able to peel back some of the layers. If the customer chooses not file a claim with their insurance, we can usually get you a close estimate figuring in the fact that additional work may be required as wet materials are removed.
