I’d see if insurance will cover it, though they’re touchy about long term damage. Renting humidifiers and fans is quite expensive and then you need to isolate the areas with plastic and run them for a long time. We caught a small flood right away and it took about a week for it all to dry out with about a dozen pieces of equipment and professional setup and monitoring. The tile (backer board really) didn’t even start to dry and had to come out.

Obviously their prices are inflated to make a profit but a smallish leak was able to do around $20k in damage in a day. It was running right onto a piece of exposed subfloor though
