Water Damage Restoration
Water damage is a race against time. Within hours, water spreads into drywall, insulation, and subfloors, and within a day or two, mold can begin.
What Causes Water Damage:
-
Burst or leaking supply pipes and fittings
-
Water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine failures
-
Roof leaks, storms, and clogged gutters
-
Toilet, sink and tub overflows
-
Slab leaks and hidden plumbing leaks
-
Groundwater and flooding in basements and crawl spaces
Fire & Smoke Damage
Fire damage goes far beyond the flames. Smoke, soot, and the water used to put out the fire can affect every room in the house — and odor can linger long after the mess is cleaned.
Types of Fire and Smoke Damage We Restore:
-
Kitchen and appliance fires
-
Electrical fires
-
Wildfire smoke and ash intrusion
-
Smoke damage in rooms the fire never touched
-
Water damage from firefighting
Mold Remediation
Mold remediation stops mold growth and fixes the moisture that caused it. Mold can be costly, difficult to remove and unhealthy to live with.
Signs You Have a Mold Problem:
-
A musty smell that does not go away
-
Visible spots on walls, ceilings, grout, or baseboards
-
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
-
Recent leaks, floods, or high humidity
-
Allergy-like symptoms indoors
Mold is not always visible and can grow behind walls, under floors, and inside ductwork.
Sewage Cleanup
Sewage cleanup should never be a do-it-yourself job. Sewage water carries bacteria and pathogens that put your family at risk.
Common Causes of Sewage Backups:
-
Main line clogs and tree root intrusion
-
Toilet and floor drain overflows
-
Municipal sewer surcharges during heavy rain
-
Broken or collapsed sewer pipes
Crawlspace Cleanup
Your crawlspace is out of sight, but moisture, debris, and mold there can spread into your floors, insulation, and the air you breathe.
Common Crawlspace Problems We Clean Up:
-
Standing water from groundwater, heavy rain, or drainage problems
-
Moisture and high humidity that lead to mold growth
-
Leaking or burst pipes under the house
-
Wet, sagging, or contaminated insulation
-
Pest droppings, nesting debris, and other contamination
-
Musty odors that rise into the living space
