Water Mitigation Review

SERVICES

Water losses can escalate quickly—and so can the costs. At FKS Insurance Services, our Water Mitigation Review process is designed to ensure that mitigation efforts are necessary, reasonable, and in line with industry standards. By reviewing these claims closely, we help carriers protect against inflated billing, improper procedures, and noncompliant practices—without compromising policyholder service.

Whether we’re reviewing invoices post-mitigation or evaluating services in real time, our goal remains the same: to ensure fair compensation for the work performed while maintaining the integrity of the claim.

Oversight That Saves Time and Money

Water mitigation is one of the most commonly abused and misunderstood components of a property claim. Over-scoping, over-drying, and overcharging can dramatically increase claim severity and erode policyholder trust.

FKS provides experienced, objective reviews of mitigation documentation to ensure compliance with IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) standards, insurer guidelines, and reasonable pricing. Our reviewers have extensive knowledge of drying protocols, equipment usage, and scope appropriateness—enabling us to quickly identify when something doesn’t align.

Our Water Mitigation Review Process

Each mitigation review conducted by FKS includes a multi-point analysis to ensure accuracy, necessity, and cost efficiency:

Invoice & Estimate Review
We evaluate mitigation invoices against the actual scope of work and drying logs, flagging inflated line items or unnecessary equipment usage.
Drying Log & Monitoring Assessment
Our reviewers assess drying documentation, including moisture readings and equipment records, to determine whether the drying process followed industry standards.
Photo & Documentation Verification
We cross-check photos against the scope of work to verify affected areas, confirm the presence of damage, and assess the need for mitigation actions taken.
IICRC Standard Compliance Check
All reviews include an evaluation of whether procedures followed ANSI/IICRC S500 standards, including demolition limits, containment protocols, and drying duration.
Pricing & Line Item Validation
Using current market rates and carrier-specific pricing guidelines, we validate charges and identify opportunities for cost correction or denial.

Detailed Reports for Confident Decision-Making

Each report includes line-by-line commentary, itemized discrepancies (if any), and recommendations based on both industry best practices and client-specific directives.
