How much would you pay to fix water damage from a burst pipe?

My adjuster was decent, but they wanted a million photos and kept asking if I’d “mitigated” the damage—like, yeah, I put down towels and ran fans, but what else am I supposed to do at 2am? ...

I get the urge to just rip out anything soft, but I’m not totally convinced it’s always necessary. Those drying mats and industrial dehumidifiers seem like overkill, but I’ve seen a neighbor save their hardwoods after a dishwasher leak using one of those setups. Took a few days, but the boards actually flattened out again. Maybe it depends on how fast you catch it? I’d rather try drying first than pay for all new floors if there’s a chance.
