| Class 4 (structural, long-standing) | $20,000 to $100,000+ |
Mitigation and reconstruction are usually two separate bills. Mitigation covers extraction, drying, and antimicrobial treatment. Reconstruction replaces drywall, flooring, and trim. On a typical Mims claim, mitigation runs $2,400 to $4,500 before rebuilding starts. Delay is the cost multiplier: a $4,000 job handled in 12 hours can become a $15,000 job once mold sets in.

Wind-lifted shingles and clogged valleys let Florida rain pour straight into attics. The stain on the ceiling shows up months after the damage starts.
Discharge lines that freeze shut in Mims winters send pumped water right back into the pit. The pump runs, the pit overflows, the basement floods. Buried or insulated discharge lines solve it.
Skylight gaskets dry out and shrink, especially on south-facing Mims roofs. The first heavy rain finds the gap. Interior water stains below a skylight almost always mean seal, not glass, failure.
