ParticipantWater damage is probably one of the worst and destroys everything from the water line down not to mention the humidity above the water line causing major problems… This may be the cost for something of this nature….

ParticipantThe kitchen faucet in our rental had been leaking before we moved in. There was a fair amount of mold (including the “toxic” mold) on the wall and in the cabinets. The LL had a mold remediation company tear everything out to the studs, even having to shave parts of the studs, then we had to build everything back up again. This was only for the portion against that wall and an adjoining wall. A third wall was left alone.
It took about 2-3 months (we had no kitchen), and cost over $10K. Needless to say, there is no granite, and the cabinets are cheapies from Home Depot (though I’m not complaining, as they work and look just fine).
I’d venture to say water damage is one of the most expensive problems people will ever encounter. Very expensive and miserable work.

ParticipantThis one might be a future lawsuit. In condo’s you own the “airspace” of the condo, and that is how most insurance companies look at it. Inside the walls, is considered common areas, and can be the problem of the HOA. $75k is probably damage to more than one unit. So, this could have several insurance companies involved. I would stay far away from this one.
