  I am just wondering if anyone else has weekend rates or after hours rates they charge for wdr.
I started a category 1 flood extraction on a friday evening, then removed laminate flooring, subflooring & lower kitchen cabinets on sat & sun. I usually charge extra for after hours flood extraction & emergency services. With drying equipment charges the invoice total is really climbing. Thinking about knocking off the after hours rates.

Harvey:  If you call a tow truck after hours do you pay extra?  If you call a plumber do they charge extra?  You have to consider that your knowledge, equipment and man power is woth something.  This is why even insurance companys expect to pay more.  You will find that not many water and smoke losses etc. come between 8 & 5.  So to pay people to be on call or how ever you handle it you will soon have to pay more for after hours.  After all you can,t leave till the job is done.   However I never do more after hours than just contain the damage.  Demolition is left for regular hours unless I have to drop a ceiling for saftey or some other major comcern.  But you wil find unless you have been authorized you may have a problem with the after hours demolition.  Since the floor & cabinest were already done what more damage could of occurred waiting till Monday?

Harvey,

Just ran into a situation like this.  A fire sprinkler cooked off the Thursday before Christmas in a second story condo.  About a thousand gallons of water meant we had a busy weekend and it all went OT.  Our rate was $67.50.  You can judge if that is fair.
