House flooded

We've got all of the flooring torn up and almost all of the walls ripped out. The adjuster came by on Sunday and from what it sounds like we should be ok and taken care of. It's not up to him though it's what the insurance decides but he was very nice and walked us through everything that we have to do. He said the same thing about the contents that the insurance will depreciate everything so don't be shocked when it comes back a lot lower.

We still have the AC blasting and fans going every where. Thank you guys for all of your advice.

my buddy in Walker had no content coverage in Aug 2016. So we did the tear out, and some of the work so that when he got his contractor to renovate, less had to be done ( read: charged for ) and he used the extra funds toward replacing some of the content.

So the demo will save you couple thousand alone. But be sure to hire a LICENSED and INSURED contractor. There will be guys running all around your area from out of town looking to make a fast buck. IF you know a contractor, great. If not, dont settle for the first one. Ask him for a copy of his Certificate of Insurance ( feel free to PM me and ill make sure legit ) as evidence of proper insurance. Verify and re-verify. Times like these, shysters come out the woodwork.
