"This one-star rating is generous! We are seven weeks into a four-day job at our house! The have been back three times to finish the job and it is still not done. My back yard is a mud pit! I have been informed by the "office" that it will take two more weeks before I can be put on the schedule for a crew to come back. The crew is working from their Lancaster office, and the managers won't return phone calls and are hiding behind the receptionist. I work just a few miles from their Lexington office, so I decided to pop in and talk to a different person only to find out that there is no staff in this office. The website for the Lexington office has a picture of the building and posted hours of 9 am to 6 pm, but it is just a building with mailboxes and a few shared meeting rooms used by several companies. Customer service is absolutely horrible. Think twice before hiring USS!"

12 Stones is a small business having 2 full-time employees, and does all of the mold removal. We have 35 yrs in house construction, drywall and home repairs, but occasionally use sub-contractors on bigger jobs. We accept checks, cash, and paypal, at this time

"Brett was ready for the to first before I was. . He came when he said he would. Several visits were required for testing, identifying the source and treating/ cleaning it. Brett went beyond our expectations and was pleasant to work with. We will have him back in a few months to retest, but the improved air quality is noticeable. I highly recommend him and 12 stones."

"I do not recommend this company if you actually want a company that backs their warranty. We've had 2+ leaks in our home after only 6 years of a brand new roof. We were told that the warranty was not covered due to debris on our roof (we literally have leaves on our roof, who doesn't??). Then, we were told that we need all new siding to reinstate our warranty even though we had to pay and fix all of our ceilings and drywall. It's very unfortunate and I hope this helps a future roof buyer."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

You may need to replace drywall because of smoke damage. If the drywall is covered in soot, you may be able to clean it, but it will require a lot of time and effort. You could spend hours cleaning the drywall only to find there is more damage and it needs to be replaced anyway. It’s usually easier and safer to remove the smoke-damaged drywall and replace it.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Homeowner’s insurance will almost always cover fire damage and repairs unless your insurer finds the fire was caused intentionally. In most cases, if the fire was an accident, your provider will cover the cost of emergency services, like roof tarping and emergency securing, as well as the actual fire damage remediation and buildback to bring your home back to its previous condition. They should also cover alternative housing for as long as the fire damage restoration takes. You’ll just be responsible for paying the deductible.

In most cases, yes, a fire-damaged house can be repaired. The only exception would be if a house fire leads to major structural damage. In that case, it might be faster and more affordable to knock down the house and start from scratch. In most cases, though, repairs are possible with help from a professional.

Costs depend on the extent of damage, material restoration, labor, and emergency service requirements.
