Most insurance companies require restoration companies to use Xactimate software for billing. Why? Because Xactimate sets standardized pricing based on your zip code, the scope of work, and industry standards set by the IICRC.
This means you’ll never be overcharged.
Your insurance adjuster can instantly verify the bill.
You only pay your deductible — the insurance covers the rest.
With Impressions Carpet Cleaning & Restoration, you can relax knowing the pricing is fair, transparent, and backed by your insurance provider.
All of our billing is calculated using Xactimate, the same estimating software trusted by insurance companies nationwide. Xactimate pricing is based on:
The zip code of the property loss
The scope of work required
Whether service is performed during regular business hours or emergency after-hours
Water damage restoration pricing isn’t random — it follows strict industry standards.
Every project is completed according to the IICRC S-500 (water damage restoration standard) and, when mold is involved, the IICRC S-520 addendum. This ensures your home is restored properly and safely.
When your loss is covered by insurance:
There’s no need for an upfront estimate
We document all work performed with notes, photos, and moisture readings
We submit the invoice directly to your adjuster
Your adjuster reviews the documentation to confirm the work matches IICRC standards and then issues payment directly

Water mitigation is the essential first step in saving your property. It’s about stopping the spread of water and preventing further destruction. Here are the 10 most common questions regarding the mitigation phase.
Mitigation is the process of preventing further damage. It includes stopping the water source, extracting standing water, and drying the structure to prevent mold.
Mitigation is about containment and prevention (stopping things from getting worse), while restoration is the final phase of rebuilding and repairing what was lost.
Water trapped in walls or under floors rarely dries naturally. Without professional water damage mitigation, moisture can lead to structural rot and dangerous mold growth within 48 hours.
We use industrial-strength tools that you won't find at a local hardware store, including:
Submersible pumps for high-volume extraction.
Industrial air movers to create high-velocity airflow.
LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) Dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the air.
Moisture probes and thermal cameras to find hidden water.
We apply EPA-approved anti-microbial treatments to affected surfaces and use industrial dehumidifiers to drop the humidity levels below where mold can survive.
Yes, they must stay on. The fans are designed to move a massive volume of air to evaporate moisture constantly. If they are turned off, the humidity levels in the room will spike, slowing down the drying process and increasing the risk of mold growth.
On average, the drying process takes between 3 to 5 days. Some materials, like thick timber or concrete, may take longer. We monitor the progress daily with moisture meters to determine exactly when the equipment can be removed.
Yes. Sewage backups are considered Category 3 (Black Water) mitigation. This requires specialized "muck-out" procedures, where we remove contaminated materials and use hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure the area is biologically safe for humans and pets.
Most insurance policies have a "duty to mitigate" clause. This means the homeowner is actually required to take action to prevent further damage. Because mitigation prevents a total loss of the property, insurance companies almost always cover these emergency services.
First, ensure your safety (watch for electrical hazards). If possible, shut off the water source. Then, call Impressions Carpet & Restoration immediately. The sooner the mitigation starts, the more of your property—and your money—we can save.
