Water damage can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. From burst pipes to floodwaters, the aftermath often includes ruined floors, warped walls, and unexpected stress. When disaster strikes, navigating both insurance claims and the cost of water damage assessment and restoration can feel overwhelming.
At Reztor, we not only restore your property—we also guide you through the claims process to help minimise out-of-pocket costs. In this article, we break down how to manage insurance paperwork, what restoration typically costs, and how our experts make the journey smoother.
? Understanding Water Damage Insurance Coverage
What Does Insurance Typically Cover?
Most standard home and contents insurance policies in Australia cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as:
- Burst pipes
- Appliance overflows
- Roof leaks during a storm
However, damage from gradual leaks, neglect, or flooding (in some cases) may require additional cover. It’s important to review your PDS (Product Disclosure Statement) and speak with your insurer about exclusions.
Reztor Tip:
Take photos and videos as soon as possible and document all damage before any cleanup begins. This will strengthen your claim and reduce disputes.
? What to Expect: Water Damage Assessment and Restoration Costs
Costs can vary depending on:
- Severity of the damage
- Contaminated water levels (clean, grey, or black water)
- Required repairs and replacements
- Size of the affected area
A minor leak in a bathroom might cost under $1,000, while large-scale flood damage may exceed $10,000 when structural drying, mould remediation, and full restoration are needed.
At Reztor, we offer transparent quotes and breakdowns after a professional water damage assessment and restoration plan is completed—so you know exactly what’s involved.
