Nothing has been demo-ed yet as of yesterday, but the restoration person came for a look, and mentioned that they will very likely rip up the laminate floors in the entire (basement) living room to get to a point where the floors are dry. A certain amount of drywall near the floor will also be cut open to ensure there is no water damage up along those walls. At that point, it is possible that there will be more obvious signs of where the breach is, but the fact remains that the restoration company will not perform any remediation work to seal up the breach unless it can be counted within the scope of the restoration. So we are still going to need someone to help us fix the breach.
Based on what we've gone through with my parents' flood, the initial part here is gonna be a bit slow because the restoration company needs to do all the due diligence stuff to check for contamination and hazardous materials (asbestos among others, and I'm sure the drywalls will have asbestos simply because of the age of the house).
It is gonna be a PITA, and I don't envy the stress my brother will have to put up with.
