Rental Property Water Damage in the United States

During our assessment, as the owner you are responsible for the building and for keeping the unit habitable, whatever caused the water.

For the written restoration scope, generally no, unless the tenant caused it. As our specialists document the loss, a security deposit covers damage beyond normal wear that the tenant is responsible for, not a burst pipe or a roof leak.

For the written restoration scope, most dwelling and landlord policies include loss of rents, commonly called fair rental value, for a covered loss.

As our specialists document the loss, that depends on your state, on the extent of the damage and commonly on your lease wording. From the first moisture reading, most states recognize an implied warranty of habitability, and some have specific rules on rent abatement when a unit is partly unusable.

For the written restoration scope, as a national estimate, one wet room with a few days of drying commonly runs $1,200 to $3,000.

From the first moisture reading, extraction is in many cases done the same day and drying takes about three to five days. From the first moisture reading, cleaning and any repairs come after that, and repairs are what actually set the re rent date.

From the first moisture reading, we coordinate access directly with your tenant or your property manager and send you photos, readings and a written update every day.
