Water, Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration FAQs

Can I inspect my home and belongings after a fire?

We do not recommend anyone but our team entering the property after a fire. There is always a risk of smoke contamination, structural integrity concerns, and ensuing fire damage that may lead to injuries or worsening damage.

Should I try cleaning up myself?

No – our team is highly trained and equipped to clean fire and smoke damage efficiently and properly. We can reduce the risk of injury and further property damage.

What will happen to the items left in the home during restoration after a fire?

Any item left inside of your home during the fire damage restoration process will be thoroughly assessed, salvaged, restored, cleaned, and returned to you promptly. If the item is too far damaged or contaminated, we will dispose of it properly.

Who is responsible for paying for the service?

You, the client, are responsible for payment. However, we do recommend filing an insurance claim for any damage you experience. Your insurance company, depending on your deductible, will likely pay for most of the restoration work.

What if I’d like to upgrade or remodel my house?

Our team aims to please, so during the reconstruction process, we can complete minor upgrades or changes to your home. However, for significant renovations, we recommend speaking with a local contractor.

How much does it cost to fix water damage?

The cost to fix water damage varies based on a few factors, such as the scope of the damage, the location, and the materials and labor requirements of the job.

What are the major causes of flood damage and water damage?

Typically, flood and water damage is caused by a number of problems, including:



  • Leaking appliances, such as dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators.
  • Leaking or burst pipes
  • Clogged sinks or overflowing toilets
  • Hidden moisture underneath the floors or inside of the walls.
  •  Flash floods, storm damage, hurricanes, tropical storms.

Mold Remediation FAQs

What is the difference between mold and mildew?

Generally, mold is green or black, considered to be dangerous to your health, and spreads quickly with humidity and moisture. As for mildew, it is relatively gray in color and easily removed with household cleaning products.

What does mold look like?

Most mold produces a raised surface as it grows and is usually green or black in color. 

How much does mold remediation cost?

The cost of mold remediation is determined by numerous factors. The amount of mold present, how early it was detected, the location, and what type of repairs are required all play a part in determining the total cost.

How long does it take for mold to grow or spread?

Mold will begin to grow after 24 hours and continue growing for several weeks thereafter.

Do I need to hire a mold remediation/removal expert to remove mold, or can I do it myself?

Yes, you certainly want to hire a mold expert to address any size growth in your home. The risk of spreading the infestation further into the house is too great.

What is mold remediation?

Mold remediation is the process of removing any mold found within the home and sanitizing the entire area. Additional treatments and preventative measures are then taken to ensure the mold does not return to the area.

How is mold growth detected?

We use highly specialized equipment to detect the areas in which mold growth has occurred. Furthermore, moisture found under the floors or within the walls is a sure sign of mold.

    As a real estate agent, when I reach out to businesses to work with my clients, time is of the essence. Kareen is very responsive, professional and punctual. One of my clients called him and he was there the next day. He ensures the job is done right the first time.
