Hi Guys,
I do water damage, lol... er, Flood Restoration, and give them a bill, and always wondered how to write it up and what to charge. I know somebody who knows somebody with Exactimate, and the info percolates through at a rate unlikely to keep up with inflation!!
Does anybody want to show off a typical invoice just to show an example of what they look like?
Here is mine for my recent restoration, which was basically a hot water heat pipe that broke and ran into a bedroom, big closet, hall, and then through the floor into some carpet in the apartment below. I saved all the carpet and pulled the pad in these areas after water clawing.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I'm due to turn this in on Friday.
1. Emergency flood restoration. Category 1. Sunday 1/3. After hours emergency response. $250.
2. Standing water extraction with weight assisted tool. sq ft. x $.72
3. Disattach carpet in bedroom, closet. Saving carpet. $45.
4. Tear out pad in bedroom, closet, hall. Bag for removal. $ .35/ sq ft.
5. Disposal fee for bagged wet pad in legal dumpster. $40.
6. Application of EPA-approved mildewstat-virucide-bactericide-disinfectant as per label instructions. $ .35/sqft
7. Dehu L. (dri-eaz 1200) $75./day
8. 9--centrifugal turbo air movers. $29./day
9. 2--Monitoring (move fans, read meter, made adjustments) $35/ea.
10. Restoration carpet cleaning after installation of pad and carpet restretch. $.50/sqft.
Comes to about 2300. this way.
Do you have three day minimums when it comes to renting equipment? this flood was dry in 48 hours/2 days. Charge for two then... or three day minimum?
Thanks guys! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
