We offer a wide range of environmental restoration services that can be customized to meet your needs. Our team works directly with you and your team to come to the best solution for your home, business, or commercial needs.

"I can’t recommend DryMaxx Ohio enough! As a business owner in the Riverside/Dayton area, time is money—and when we had unexpected water damage at our facility, they were on-site the same day I called and immediately started the mitigation process. That kind of rapid response is rare, and it made all the difference. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. They handled everything with the insurance company on my behalf, which took a massive weight off my shoulders. On top of that, they brought in specialized teams for every phase of the project—water mitigation, demolition, flooring, construction, painting, and even post-project cleanup. Each crew was professional, efficient, and clearly knew their stuff. What really stood out to me was how responsive they were. Anytime I had a question or concern, someone got back to me within 30 minutes—no exceptions. That level of communication and accountability is rare these days. Honestly, it feels like there’s nothing they can’t do."

Stay Dry Waterproofing, LLC specializes in Waterproofing Basements, foundation settlement repairs, and mold testing and removal. We use patented, safe and proven methods of repair.

"They are overpriced, did not take proper precautions to protect our carpet, promised us professional carpet cleaning, then sent out two of their guys with rags and a shop vac to “clean” the carpets. Then we were told it’s not policy to send out carpet cleaners, and that we’re on our own. We were promised 4 different things involving quality of the project, none were done. This place is a total scam, and has SERIOUS communication and misinformation issues internally. Would never use them again. All they did was open up walls, spray some stuff, made a mess, and left us to handle any problems stemming from their lack of attention to detail, and crappy policies."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Challenges include ensuring structural safety, completing soot removal, meeting restoration codes, and effectively managing insurance claims.

Fire damage restoration can take as little as a week to repair minor damage, but a full property renovation after a major fire can take longer than a year, including time to get approval for the work and get your contractors paid through your insurance company. Overall, it’s always best to talk to your insurance provider and your repair team about your individual situation to get the best estimate.

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.

If your oven is new, then it’s likely that the oven smoking is due to it being a new unit. In this case, you don’t need to worry about the oven smoking. However, if your oven is old, you can’t identify any burnt food or grease that could be behind the smoking, or you have concerns about the heating element, then you should hire an oven technician to inspect your unit.

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.
