"We noticed mold in our house and searched on Angi to find a solution. Mold Doctors Pros, LLC is the company we chose. The owner inspected our home and provided us with a quote to clean it up. We signed a contract for the service. Their truck came and we left the house. 45 minutes later, they demanded $750 more or they would have to replace our insulation for an additional $ 1,800-3,000. If we refused, then the contract stipulated that we had to pay $3000 for the team to stop in the middle of the service. We accepted the demand for the additional $750 with the waiver of the estimation fee. We knew we were being scamed at that point because there is a free estimation cost to the inspection. It is stated on the front of his business card. After the service was finished, we call and asked for a refund of the extra amount. The owner agreed if we signed a complicated "Hold Harmless" agreement. We refused, and that was it. The mold is still present in our house, so we doubt his team did anything, or if they did, then they did a poor job."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Pricing a fire-damaged house is tricky, and it’s best to involve some professionals. First, get a comprehensive repair estimate from a fire damage restoration expert. Next, have a real estate agent get you an as-repaired value for the home, which represents what the house would be worth if fully repaired. Subtract the repair estimate from the as-repaired value to get the as-is value.

Living in a house with smoke damage could be safe on a temporary basis, but it depends on the severity and type of smoke damage. If you have major smoke damage or soot present from a fire, you should relocate to keep you and your family safe. Breathing in soot can cause respiratory issues, and it can contain carcinogens, so move out until you get professional remediation done. Your insurance company may cover the cost for alternative housing while your professional works.

Yes, many HVAC professionals provide emergency furnace repair services, especially in cold seasons.

Yes, most homeowner’s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you’re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.

Smoke damage remediation time will depend on the extent of the damage, but most remediation takes between one day and one week. Homes that require significant material restoration will take longer than homes that only have minor smoke damage to clean. A smoke damage restoration pro can estimate how long it’ll take to get you safely back in your home.
