We have water damage from a leaking sink drain inside a kitchen wall. Unfortunately it went on for a while and the sill is rotten which allowed the floor joists to sink and well... you get the idea. The insurance company is telling me they won't pay for it (they won't pay for rot damage that is caused over weeks or months, I guess they only pay for rot damage caused in a day). Anyway, how difficult is something like this to fix? I assume we'll have to pull out the cabinets (needs doing anyway), pull out the floor, jack up the joists and ... then what? I'm not planning on DIYing this but I'm looking for an idea of what is involved.
