In Cork’s temperamental coastal climate, a burst pipe or storm-driven roof leak can flood a home in minutes. The longer moisture lingers, the quicker it infiltrates timber joists, plasterboard and insulation. Mold colonies flourish, structural members warp, and renovation costs multiply. Homeowners need a partner that can mobilise instantly, scope the full extent of the damage, and provide a reliable cost roadmap before demolition begins. That is exactly where CountBricks shines.
CountBricks.com combines on-site expertise with industry-leading AI to deliver a seamless restoration journey.
• Real-time voice capture lets our technicians speak measurements and observations into a mobile device while surveying your property.
• CountBricks’ AI converts that conversation into a detailed line-item estimate, complete with current Cork-area labour rates and material pricing.
• Integrated blueprint take-offs mean we can overlay damage notes onto existing architectural drawings, so nothing is missed behind walls or ceilings.
• Automated quote documents are ready for insurance adjusters before our van pulls out of your driveway.
1. Emergency Response – CountBricks crews arrive with pumps, vacuums and moisture meters to halt further water migration.
2. AI-Driven Assessment – Field staff narrate room-by-room conditions; CountBricks software produces a transparent estimate in real time.
3. Controlled Demolition – Only irreparable materials are removed, guided by infrared imaging and blueprint overlays.
4. Structural Dry-Out – Industrial dehumidifiers and targeted airflow bring framing to acceptable moisture levels, preventing hidden mold.
5. Rebuild & Finish – Our carpenters, plasterers and painters restore every surface to pre-loss condition, all tracked through the same CountBricks platform.
Water damage clean up Cork costs can fluctuate wildly when contractors rely on guesswork. CountBricks eliminates surprises by:
• Pulling live supplier pricing every time a material is added to the estimate
• Applying granular task codes – from skirting board removal to vapor barrier install – so homeowners pay only for work performed
• Locking labour rates to our vetted residential trade partners across Cork city and county
If you need to present alternative scopes to your insurer, our system can generate multiple what-if scenarios in minutes, not days.
• Attic tank overflows saturating ceilings and insulation
• Frozen external pipes splitting behind kitchen cabinets
• Wind-driven rain intrusion around ageing sash windows
• Appliance leaks under timber flooring
• Groundwater seepage into converted basements
Every scenario demands a slightly different clean-up protocol, and our AI library of residential construction assemblies ensures each one is costed with Cork-specific precision.
When a second-floor bathroom valve failed overnight, 9,000 litres cascaded through a 1970s semi in Montenotte. The homeowners called CountBricks at 7:00 a.m. Our team was pumping water by 8:00 a.m., and the AI estimate – including plasterboard replacement, engineered timber flooring, skirting, paint, and mould treatment – was emailed to the insurer by 11:30 a.m. Approval came the same afternoon. Because CountBricks coordinated every trade, the property was fully restored in 14 working days, saving the client an estimated €6,400 compared with conventional tender methods.

Traditional restoration quotes often list “make good wall” or “replace floor” with a single lump sum. That lack of detail frustrates insurers and leaves homeowners wondering what exactly they are paying for. CountBricks breaks every activity down to the task and the minute, so you see precisely how resources are allocated.
• “Remove 25 m² water-logged plasterboard” – includes disposal fees
• “Install 38 m DPC-rated skirting, primed and painted” – shows labour hours and paint quantity
• “Operate dehumidifiers (3 units) for 96 hours” – energy costs calculated at current ESB rates
Suppose our technicians uncover an unexpected pocket of damp behind fitted wardrobes. They log a voice note, and the system instantly updates quantities, costs and the projected timeline. You review and approve from your phone, eliminating delays that plague conventional builds.
CountBricks partners with Cork carpenters, plumbers and decorators who know the quirks of local housing stock – from Victorian terraces in St. Luke’s to new-build estates in Ballincollig. We overlay that field wisdom with a global material database updated every 15 minutes. The result is an estimate as responsive to the market as it is respectful of your home’s heritage.
Water incidents present an opportunity to upgrade energy performance and aesthetics. Many clients elect to:
• Add under-floor insulation before new hardwoods go down
• Replace standard plasterboard with moisture-resistant board in kitchens and baths
• Install water-sensing shut-off valves tied to smartphone alerts
CountBricks can fold these improvements into the same project workflow, backed by side-by-side cost comparisons so you can make informed decisions.
