In contacting Allstate insurance they referred Duraclean to us to do the water damage clean up and restorations. The phone call to Duraclean was made around 8pm on January 8th. There was no direct answer so a detailed voice message was left for them to contact us ASAP. On January 9th after no word back by noon a second call and second message was left. Later that day (Jan 9) Allstate sent an inspector out and the home was deemed a catastrophic claim. The occupants would be displaced due to the extent of the damages and advised to get water restoration company in as quickly as possible. By 6pm and no further word from Duraclean (thanks to Angie's list) we shopped for another water restoration company and contacted ServPro. ServPro sent out people to address the issues the very next morning. January10th contracts with ServPro were signed. In the time span that we contacted Duraclean (Jan 8) and they finally called back (Jan 11th) ServPro had gutted all 8 rooms down to the studs, hauled out all the debris and damaged items. They also had set up dehumidifying equipment and fans for circulation. In addition to having the bulk of the work started they had the future dates set up to get back in assess dry out and start restoration and rebuild. To say we were seriously disappointed in Duraclean's professional attitude and business management (or lack of) is an understatement. It was advised to Allstate to stop recommending a company that can not even return a phone call within 24-48 hours of a catastrophe when they are in the business to assess and take on such repair for damages and collect payments from a large company such as Allstate. The advice and information was recorded for future reference. I would not (and have not) recommended Duraclean for restoration since...

More recently, I was slightly concerned that my older car may not pass the Ohio emissions test and I planned ahead that if it didn't pass the test you can do yourself, I would call Mann's mobile to come out and tell me what the computer is saying the problem is and have them fix whatever is needed. As it happened, much to my amazement, the car passed the test.

"Safehouse Solutions did extensive work on my entire home from which they had to remove drywall from the ceilings and walls. They did a poor job of covering my belongings (see pictures). Things had to be moved multiple times but should have been recovered. They did not cover floors properly either (see pictures). The workers worked only a few hours a day (even though I left the house vacant for them). Neither Nancy or Michael were aware of the lack of progress until I informed them. This was near the deadline for my project. I was never given a estimate from the painter. Nancy only told me how much he was charging but never gave me a written estimate. The texture to my ceilings was not the correct one I requested. When they removed shelves and pictures from walls they did not keep the screws with the items for rehanging. Two of the bedroom ceilings are horribly redone (picture). Nancy told me "that's the best they could do with the texture" and then told me if I wanted it fixed properly I would need a drop ceiling and that would be an additional cost to me. I had a contractor out to evaluate and he stated it could be fixed. Nancy than denied saying she ever said that to me. I had many questions and concerns which she was supposed to address with me but would not. Nancy often contradicts herself. Both Michael and Nancy talk over you when you have concerns. Her painters painted over dust on walls and doors. The paint in one of the rooms has oil streaks in it from not being stirred prior to painting. Also a month later the paint in one room is beginning to chip. The team was supposed to place all furniture back to the original spot/room but they failed to do that in my living and dining rooms. They left several sheets of drywall in my home for days and drywall mud/sand and paint in my garage for 3 weeks. She sent me a bill even though these items were still in my garage. How could my bill have been accurate when all the product was at my house. I never got any compensation for storing these items for her or even an apology for the inconvenience. Nancy does not accept accountability for the mistakes that her team has made. She just keeps sending you a reminder to pay the bill. I also got headaches, frustration and felt most of my concerns were ignored by Safehouse solutions."

FAQs for water and smoke damage repair projects in Parma Heights, OH
The three methods or phases of water damage remediation are mitigation, remediation, and restoration. Mitigation is an emergency response that can include shutting off your water main or patching a hole in your roof from a fallen tree limb. Remediation includes drying the affected area, removing damaged materials, and dealing with any resulting mold growth. Restoration includes the build-back required to return your property to its previous condition. All three methods should be a part of any water damage remediation plan.
When hiring a water damage restoration company, you should confirm that the remediation plan includes fixing the underlying problem, dealing with resulting mold growth or rotted materials, and any making any build-back necessary to restore your property to its previous condition. Each phase of the remediation plan should include specific testing and inspection details to ensure the work is done properly and in a way that doesn’t prevent the restoration cost from being denied by your insurance provider.
If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.
When you find water damage, your first order of business is to keep everyone on the property safe, so if you have standing water, evacuate if it’s safe. If possible, find the source of the water and stop it, which could mean shutting your water main to prevent pipe leaks. Next, you should notify your insurance company and immediately call a water damage restoration professional. They will work with you and your insurance company to create a solution to fix the issue and file an insurance claim for the cost of the damage.
The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
