Water damage repair is the rebuild after drying: hanging new drywall, replacing baseboards and trim, installing flooring and painting. It should only start once moisture readings show the framing and slab are dry, or new materials can trap water and grow mold.
In Edmond the most common repairs follow a leak at floor level. Drywall is usually cut 2 to 4 feet up the wall, insulation in outside walls is replaced, and laminate or engineered wood that cupped is pulled. Ceiling repairs follow attic pipe breaks and roof leaks after spring hail.
Hardwood can sometimes be dried and sanded instead of replaced if it was caught early. Laminate rarely recovers once its core swells. Vinyl plank often survives, but the water under it has to be dried first.
Rebuilding that changes framing, electrical or plumbing usually needs a City of Edmond building permit. Ask who pulls the permit before the rebuild starts, and keep the drying logs for your insurance adjuster.
