The equipment arrives, the fans go on, and the first question is always the same. When can I have my house back? It is a fair question, and the honest answer frustrates people because it is not a fixed number. Structural drying is not a service that runs for a set...

Not all water damage is equal. A clean supply-line leak and a sewage backup can both soak the same carpet, but they call for very different cleanup, safety measures, and costs. To bring order to that difference, the restoration industry sorts every water loss into one...
