Water damage can be a devastating event, causing extensive damage to your home and its belongings. Once the immediate damage is addressed, many homeowners face the decision of whether to undertake remodeling as part of the restoration process. At SERVPRO®, we understand the complexities involved. Here's our expert insight to help you determine if remodeling is the right choice after water damage.

Assess the Extent of Damage

Begin by assessing the severity of the water damage. Minor incidents may require simple restoration, while extensive damage might warrant more extensive repairs and remodeling. Consult with professionals to evaluate the damage accurately.

Consider Health and Safety Concerns

Water damage can lead to mold growth and compromised indoor air quality. If there's a safety risk due to water-related issues, remodeling may be necessary to ensure a healthy living environment.

Evaluate Structural Integrity

Structural damage from water can weaken the foundation of your home. If the integrity of the structure is compromised, remodeling might be essential to reinforce and restore the stability of the property.

Opportunity for Improvement

Water damage can serve as an opportunity for improvement. Consider remodeling to upgrade outdated features, enhance functionality, or implement design changes that align with your preferences and lifestyle.

Insurance Coverage and Budget Considerations

Review your insurance coverage to understand what aspects of remodeling may be covered after water damage. Additionally, assess your budget and weigh the costs of necessary repairs against the benefits of remodeling.
