Water starts damaging what you can't see before it finishes damaging what you can. Subfloor saturation, wall cavity moisture, and slab migration don't show up until after a contractor has already rebuilt over them. Sevco runs a full moisture mapping pass before any reconstruction begins — Matterport documents what water actually touched, not just what's visible — so the scope reflects reality and the insurance billing can be defended.

Water damage restoration is the process of identifying the source of water intrusion, mitigating further damage, thoroughly drying affected structures, and repairing or rebuilding the property. Sevco Restoration begins by identifying the water's source, whether it's a burst pipe, a monsoon flood, or a slab leak, and then implements immediate mitigation strategies to prevent further saturation. This involves using specialized equipment to extract standing water and initiating the structural drying process. We utilize advanced tools like LGR dehumidifiers and air movers, coupled with precise moisture mapping, to ensure all hidden moisture, including water that has migrated behind walls or into subfloors, is identified and addressed. This meticulous approach adheres to IICRC S500 standards for water damage restoration.
Our process extends beyond initial drying. We document every aspect of the damage and our work using Matterport 3D scanning for thorough visual records and CompanyCam for daily progress updates. This detailed documentation is crucial for developing accurate repair scopes and for the subsequent insurance claim process. All estimates are prepared using Xactimate, an industry-standard software that itemizes every component of the repair. As a licensed general contractor in Arizona (ROC#351895), Sevco Restoration manages the entire project, from emergency response and mitigation through to the complete reconstruction of the damaged areas. This integrated approach means homeowners deal with a single company for all phases of their restoration.
Sevco's water damage restoration process follows a thorough six-phase structure designed to address all aspects of the loss. It begins with emergency response, where our teams arrive to assess the situation, identify the water source, and implement immediate measures to stop further damage. This is followed by mitigation, which involves water extraction, removal of saturated materials, and the deployment of drying equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers to prevent secondary damage such as mold growth. Speed in this phase is critical, as mold can begin to develop within 24-48 hours in damp conditions.
Next, we move to scope documentation. This phase involves detailed moisture readings, photographic evidence, and Matterport 3D scans to precisely define the extent of the damage. This information forms the basis for our Xactimate estimate. Insurance billing is handled directly by Sevco, leveraging our detailed scope documentation to facilitate a smooth claims process. Once the scope is approved, demolition of unsalvageable materials begins, followed by the reconstruction phase, where we rebuild the affected areas to their pre-loss condition or better.

Estimating the cost of water damage restoration is a detailed process that requires thorough assessment. For mitigation-only projects, an initial scope and estimate can typically be developed within 12-24 hours after the emergency response. For standard water damage reconstruction projects, where drying, demolition, and rebuilding are involved, a thorough estimate typically takes 2-5 days to compile. This timeframe allows for accurate moisture readings, detailed documentation, and the creation of a precise Xactimate scope.
Major loss reconstruction, involving significant structural damage or multiple affected areas, often requires 1-2 weeks for a complete estimate. Catastrophic losses, such as widespread wildfire damage or total property loss, necessitate weeks of estimator work due to the complexity and scale of the required repairs. These timeframes are necessary to ensure all damage is identified, all necessary repairs are included, and the estimate is accurate and defensible for insurance purposes.
Sevco Restoration manages all insurance documentation using Xactimate, the industry-standard software for property claims. This component-based estimating system allows us to document every aspect of the damage and restoration work with specific line items. Each line item in an Xactimate estimate reflects actual work performed, materials used, and equipment deployed, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
Our detailed documentation, including Matterport 3D scans and CompanyCam photos, supports every line item in the Xactimate estimate. This thorough approach enables us to technically defend our billing directly with the insurance carrier, minimizing disputes and facilitating a smoother claims process for the homeowner. We ensure that the insurance company receives a clear, thorough, and justifiable scope of work.
