How Georgia water damage restoration businesses use this financing
Common uses of funds:
- Air movers, dehumidifiers, and air scrubbers
- Moisture meters, thermal cameras, and extraction units

Typical loan size: Restoration loans typically range $40K to $400K, with large equipment fleets and insurance-claim float driving the higher end.
Seasonality: Volume spikes with winter pipe bursts, spring flooding, and hurricane season, but slow insurance reimbursement creates near-constant cash-flow gaps.
Most common reason for decline: Firms are often declined for stretched receivables from slow-paying insurers, thin owner credit, or under a year in business.
