For various reasons, some clients desire to tackle a water damage disaster as a DIY project. Often, they choose the DIY route if the water damage incident affects only one room or if the incident involves a minor amount of water.

The water damage is minimal.

One example would be a minor tub overflow in the bathroom. Most of the water could be mopped up with towels or removed with a wet/dry shop vac. A typical box fan would be sufficient to dry up the surface moisture in an hour or so. Hopefully, little or no water seeped under the floor covering or tile. If moisture did penetrate to the subflooring, more effective equipment would be needed to extract the water trapped under the floor covering.

For the homeowner who has the time, the floor covering could be removed. The subfloor could be dried by the fan, and the floor covering could be replaced once the area is dried. If the incident involved carpet in the bathroom, a big box residential shop vac, and a box fan are not enough. The DIY water damage restoration could take so long that mold could grow and complicate the restoration process.

The homeowner has no insurance and limited funds.

A homeowner might attempt to take on water damage restoration as a DIY project either because the insurance company will not cover the incident or the homeowner does not have homeowner’s insurance. If the homeowner has limited funds, he or she will need to do as much of the restoration project as possible to reduce the cost of damage restoration. As daunting as the challenge may be, the homeowner on a tight budget with no insurance money may have no other choice.

The homeowner has the knowledge, skills, and experience to confidently take on the project.

Another reason a homeowner would seek to manage a water damage disaster as a DIY project is because they have the knowledge, skills, experience, and time. Confidence plays an important role in completing a DIY project. A successful DIY water damage restoration project is a major undertaking. Knowing what to do and how to do it is not enough. Time is crucially important in a water damage disaster. Delays in water removal, drying, and dehumidifying can result in advanced secondary water damage and mold infestation. The DIY project must be carried out correctly, thoroughly, and timely.

Can the homeowner just rent the drying equipment?

Most property owners do not have their own commercial-grade drying equipment. This lack of appropriate equipment is an obstacle to successfully mitigating water damage in a home or business as a DIY project. The right equipment and the skills to use that equipment can make a DIY water damage restoration project a huge success.
