What Seattle homeowners ask about water damage
Straight answers to the questions people type into their phone while standing in a wet room: what it costs, how long drying takes, what to do tonight, and how to keep it from happening again.
These guides are written for homeowners, not adjusters or contractors. They describe how things usually go in Western Washington; your own loss, policy and house decide the specifics, and dispatch will give you a straight answer about your situation any hour of the day.
Questions homeowners ask us
How accurate are the cost figures in these guides?
They are typical Seattle-area ranges drawn from the Xactimate line items carriers price against, written for planning. Your own estimate depends on how much got wet, for how long, and what it is made of. On covered claims the contractor bills your insurer directly and you pay what your policy says.
Can I ask a question that is not covered here?
Yes. Call or text 844-543-5757. Dispatch answers questions about water losses all day and will tell you plainly if your situation does not need a crew.
Not sure what you are looking at? Call and describe it.
Dispatch will tell you whether it needs a crew tonight, tomorrow, or a plumber first.
