I had it happen a year ago and was well into 6 figures by the time it was done. The fight with the insurance company was amazing and not a good time, but you have to become a pain in the ass to get it taken care of to your satisfaction.

As to the original post, they're doing it to cover their asses. Make sure they are thorough on the dryout and have an independent inspector come out and sign off if you're not happy with their work. Unless you hired them, they're not looking out for you or your interests, but rather either trying to save the insurance company money or put money in their pockets.
