Adam A. Ross started his career in the Cleaning & Restoration industry over 21 years ago. What started as a simple idea, quickly grew into his first business endeavor at the age of 21. Adam believed that if you offer a quality service at competitive prices, you are bound to build a successful, long-lasting business. In 2005, he decided to sell his first company, a small carpet and upholstery cleaning business located in Northeastern Indiana. Ross Cleaning & Restoration opened in 2007, with the same commitment to quality, honesty, and integrity but focused on additional services that would help develop a stronger footprint in the community. Today, Ross is known throughout Northeast Indiana as one of the industry’s best Home Restoration Contractors and Carpet Cleaning Companies – but don’t just take our word for it, Angie’s List and Fort Wayne Newspapers agree! Over the past 19 years, the services provided have diversified and the team has grown but that same commitment to consistent quality is still alive. Ross Cleaning & Restoration is dedicated to ongoing training and certifications for its team members and continually explores new services to meet customer needs and to remain an industry leader.

"We had a very unprofessional experience with Roto Rooter that ended in no solution and a decent amount of money lost. We called Roto rooter because we were having flooding in our crawl space. This company claims to do water restoration and plumbing services, so they seemed like the best place to call. I clearly explained our situation to the phone operator and he helped me schedule for both a plumber AND a technician to come out so see if they could see what was going on. When the day of service came, they only sent a plumber who acted like he thought he was coming to unclog a pipe, which isn't close to the issue I explained over the phone. The man was rude and unprofessional from the very beginning. He shined a flashlight into our crawlspace and clean-out, told us he couldn't go down there or do anything, and offered to jet the line. While we were upset that he didn't look into the problem at all, we decided to go ahead with jetting the line. Just a few days prior, we were quoted approximately $400 for this job, but the plumber came back and said it would be over $900. When asked why the price was over double the initial quote, we were told they can't give accurate quotes over the phone. However, the plumber said there was "no way it would ever be that cheap", if that's the case, why did the office give us a number? I feel like it's a marketing trick and do not appreciate the deception. I do understand why the plumber didn't want to go into the crawl space, however I clearly explained the situation BEFORE scheduling a service call and was told they could check it out. The plumber said they would never go into a wet crawlspace (again, I understand why) so why would the office send someone out knowing they couldn't do a thing? The only reasonable assumptions I can make: They knew they couldn't help before they came, and figured they would get a full $210 service fee for 5 minutes of work OR that we would give in and pay for jetting the line even though it was over double the initial quote. The rudeness we experienced from staff offered no other insight, so no other assumptions can be made. I am highly disappointed, hurt, and out $210 at a time when we are hurting to get this repair done at all. Please take my words into account before hiring this company. There is a major disconnect between the office and the technicians, and neither have good customer service skills."

"I had used W.C Borchelt for years for plumbing, electrical etc... Initially I was happy with them until the last job I called them for. I purchased a toilet from them that promised to flush a washcloth down it. Guess what? It got clogged by a number 2. I also had an emergency going on where the toilet overflowed out of the tank and bowl so there was some flooding and $30,000 worth of damage to my home because of this. I immediately called my home owners and W.C Brad Borchelt. They sent a plumber out and he used an auger. After that so much was going on that Servpro was there and they pulled the toilet immediately after. It was set aside and covered. With so much going on i didn't think to go look inside my pulled toilet. Apparently the plumber scratched up the bowl pretty good with his auger. These are auger swirl marks. He never put a protective sleeve on the tip. Fast forward to 4 months later my home is getting put back together. The toilet goes back in and I see the auger damage. No one else put anything down into the toilet. It was the auger responsibe for these scratches. Hey but Brad the owner doesn't want to make it right. I paid $235 for them to unclog the advertised UNCLOGABLE toilet and Apparently I got more than an unclogging with unsightly scratches that he refuses to admit was his plumber. I personally am done with this company. Dishonest at most when there is a problem. Would definitely NOT recommend!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Homeowner’s insurance will usually cover fire damage restoration unless you or someone in your home started the fire purposefully or if negligence was the underlying cause. In all other cases, including electrical fires, accidental cooking fires, and gas fires, you’ll need to pay a deductible, but the rest of the costs should be covered. Once you have the fire out and the damage has stopped spreading, contact your insurance company to file a claim and get fast approval for remediation.

It is not safe to live in a house with smoke damage—even minor smoke damage can lead to long-term health hazards and structural risks. Smoke smells and residue contain particulates and chemical compounds that are dangerous to breathe in and can damage your belongings and your home’s structural materials. Have a trained professional assess your home after a fire to determine when it’s safe to return.

Yes, most insurance plans cover acts of nature. In policy documents, this also may be called “Acts of God” or “natural disasters.” However, not all acts of nature are covered by your policy, and the extent to which they’re covered depends on your specific contract. Check your policy documents to understand your coverage limits and exclusions.

Restoration costs range from $3,000 to $50,000, depending on damage severity and affected areas.

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