“Great price. Highly recommend this company for any service or repair.”
Insurance Claim Assistance in Henderson, NV
Stop the water, photograph everything that's wet, and get a written estimate before you decide to file. We come out for free, record the damage with photos and moisture readings, and write the estimate in Xactimate so you can compare it with your deductible and make the call.
Most homes around Henderson and Las Vegas are built on a concrete slab, so water that gets under flooring or behind a baseboard has nowhere to drain. It's usually more damage than you can see from the doorway, and a photo of a wet floor won't show your adjuster how far it went. Meter readings will. We talk with your adjuster about the scope of the work. The policy itself is between you and your carrier.

What people ask us before they file
If you've never filed a water damage claim before, start here.
Should I call my insurance company first, or you?
Get the water shut off first. Then call us if you want a free estimate before you open a claim. That helps with the deductible question. Just don't wait weeks. Most policies expect you to report a loss promptly and keep it from getting worse.
Is it even worth filing if my deductible is high?
Do the math before you file. If the dry-out estimate lands close to your deductible, the claim pays you very little and still goes on your record. If walls and flooring have to come out, repairs often cost about twice the dry-out. That changes the picture. You get the estimate either way, and you decide.
What should I photograph?
Everything, before it moves. Start wide so each room is recognizable, then go close: the water line on the drywall, swollen baseboards, the wet cabinet floor, the part that failed. Photograph damaged belongings before anything goes in the trash. Write down what each thing is. Save receipts for whatever you spend because of the leak.
Why keep the pipe or part that broke?
If a defective supply line, fitting or valve caused the leak, your insurer may try to get its money back from the manufacturer or installer. That's called subrogation, and it only works if the part still exists. Put it in a bag, label it with the date, and tell your adjuster you have it.
Why would a water damage claim get denied?
Timing is a big one. Policies are written for water that shows up suddenly, like a line that splits overnight. A leak that seeped for months and rotted the subfloor usually gets treated as wear or maintenance. Our readings and photos help show what happened. Your carrier makes the decision.
Will you fight my insurance company for me?
No. In Nevada, negotiating a settlement on a homeowner's behalf is public adjuster work, and that takes its own license. We're a restoration company. We document the damage, write the estimate and talk with your adjuster about the scope of the work. What the policy pays stays between you and your carrier.
How much does it cost? Will insurance pay?
Water mitigation in the Las Vegas Valley usually costs $1,500 to $4,800. That covers getting the water out, drying the structure and checking it with moisture meters until the readings are back to normal. If drywall, baseboards or flooring had to come out, the repairs are a separate estimate, so you see each part on its own.
Filing a claim doesn't change what the work involves. The price moves with how long the water sat, how far it got under the walls and flooring, and whether it was clean supply water or something from a drain. That estimate is the number you compare against your deductible.

Insurance or self-pay, you decide
Insurance usually pays when the water came on suddenly, like a supply line that split overnight. A leak that dripped for months usually isn't covered. Your carrier makes that call, not us.
We handle the record: photos, moisture readings and a line-item estimate built in Xactimate, the same software most adjusters use. Then you compare it with your deductible and decide whether to file.
Before you call your carrier, find your deductible. It's listed on the declarations page of your policy.
Paying yourself? Ask about the self-pay discount. The estimate is free, and you see the price before we start.

How we document a water damage claim
- 1
Readings before anything moves
Once the water's off, we walk the house with a moisture meter and mark where it's wet, room by room. That first set of readings is the baseline every later question gets checked against.
- 2
Photos of the before
Wide shots, close-ups, the source, and anything we'll have to remove. After the drywall is cut and the carpet pad is gone, these photos are the only record of what was there.
- 3
A line-item estimate in Xactimate
Square feet of drywall, linear feet of baseboard, days of equipment. Adjusters work in the same program, so they can check each line against their own numbers instead of guessing at a lump sum.
- 4
Meeting the adjuster
If your adjuster comes out, we can be there to show where the readings were and why a wall had to be opened. If they question a line, we explain why it's there. Coverage stays their call.
- 5
Drying logged until it's done
Drying usually takes three to five days. We take readings each visit, so the file shows when each area reached dry and why the equipment stayed as long as it did.
- 6
The rebuild on the same file
Repairs are written as their own lines next to the mitigation work. The adjuster can see what came out and what goes back without piecing together two contractors' paperwork.
Photos and meter readings from arrival establish the loss baseline.
Once the wet drywall is out and the pad is in a dumpster, nobody can go back and measure it. So the readings and photos happen first, while the damage is still sitting there.
That baseline answers the adjuster's questions weeks later, like why a wall got cut open well above the stain.
For flood claims, the NFIP recommends photographing damage before cleanup and keeping material samples and receipts; review its flood damage documentation checklist .
What we do on a claim, and what we don't
We handle the restoration and the record that goes with it. Coverage decisions and settlement talks aren't ours.
What we do
- Free on-site inspection and estimate
- Dated photos and moisture readings from the first visit through the last
- A line-item Xactimate estimate for the dry-out and the rebuild
- Talking with your adjuster about the scope of the work
- Setting aside the failed part if we're the ones who find it
- A copy of the photos, readings and estimate for your own records
What we don't do
- Negotiating your settlement or arguing coverage. In Nevada that's licensed public adjuster work.
- Telling you what your policy covers. Your carrier decides that.
- Opening the claim. It's your policy, so the first call to the carrier comes from you.
- Fixing the pipe, water heater or roof that caused the leak. That's a plumber or a roofer.
Wondering whether your policy pays at all? Our guide on whether homeowners insurance covers water damage walks through what a standard policy usually pays for, what it leaves out, and why the pipe that broke is usually on you.
Water damage insurance claim questions
Can a restoration company help with a water damage insurance claim?
Yes, with the paperwork your adjuster needs: dated photos, moisture readings and a line-item estimate. We'll also talk with the adjuster about what work the damage calls for. We can't tell you what your policy covers or negotiate your settlement. Your carrier decides coverage.
What does water damage cleanup cost if insurance won't pay?
Most dry-outs in the Las Vegas Valley cost $1,500 to $4,800. Rebuilding what had to come out often costs about twice that. The on-site estimate is free, and if you're paying yourself, ask about our self-pay discount.
Does insurance cover water damage from a slow leak?
Usually not. Damage that built up over weeks or months tends to be treated as a maintenance problem, while a sudden break usually is covered. The line isn't always clean, which is why the readings and photos matter. Your carrier decides.
Do I still pay my deductible?
Yes. On a covered loss the deductible is your share of the bill, and it's part of what the job costs. If a contractor offers to make it disappear, the money is usually coming from somewhere in the estimate.
Should I wait for the adjuster before you start drying?
No. Your policy expects you to keep the damage from getting worse, and the EPA says mold can start on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. We photograph and take readings first, so the adjuster still sees what it looked like before we started.
