I worked as a middle school teacher for 10 years which helps me stay calm during stressful situations, like water damage. I make sure to take the time to communicate the process with the homeowner and help communicate with the insurance companies to make the project goes as smoothly as possible. We pride ourselves on building a great reputation and helping customers during a time of crisis with water damage issues.

"If they can not get there wildly.Inflated estimates past your insurance company, they will leave you high and dry. I have had holes in my walls and ceiling for over four months while they pretended they were negotiating with our insurance company. There was no negotiating. Our insurance company closed the claim and they did not care for the amount the insurance company was willing to pay for the work, so they just have not done anything."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference. 

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.

Most insurance policies cover fire damage. Be sure to check the details of your policy to see how coverage is calculated—it can be either the full replacement cost of damaged materials and items or the actual cash value, which includes depreciation. When making a fire damage claim, be sure to get all the necessary documentation together to help expedite the process. 

Restoration involves assessing damage, cleaning, deodorizing, repairing structures, and replacing damaged items, following a detailed and systematic approach.
