Free Restoration Tools
Heartland Restoration built three free, instant tools to help Kansas City homeowners make fast, confident decisions after a water loss: estimate how long drying will take and what equipment you need, find out whether your damage is likely covered by insurance, and decide whether to file a claim or pay out of pocket. Every tool runs in your browser - nothing is stored or shared.
Water Damage Drying-Time Calculator
Enter your room size, the materials that got wet, and the water category to get an estimated drying-time range in days, plus the dehumidifier capacity (AHAM pints/day) and number of air movers the space needs - using IICRC S500 rule-of-thumb math.
Estimate drying timeWater Damage Insurance Coverage Quiz
Answer a few questions about how the water loss happened - burst pipe, appliance leak, sewer backup, or flooding - and the quiz estimates whether a standard homeowners policy is likely to cover it, where endorsements matter, and how clean, gray, and black water change the answer.
Check my coverageClaim vs Pay-Out-of-Pocket Calculator
Compare your expected insurance payout (repair cost minus deductible) against the projected multi-year premium increase, so you can decide whether filing a water damage claim is actually worth it - before you call your carrier and start a claim you cannot undo.
Run the numbersThese tools are for planning - they do not replace an on-site inspection. If water is spreading, a live IICRC-certified responder answers 24/7 and a crew is typically on site within 60-90 minutes across the Kansas City metro, both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line.
