"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."

We are a general contractor in the Dayton, Ohio area that handles residential needs in the Central Ohio. We meet any style or budget as well as provide the high-quality services that you expect and deserve. Whether you need roofing repair, siding, remodeling, or storm-damage restoration, we provide all these services and more at the most competitive prices. We also provide financing!

"Called ZCI residential for a siding replacement quote on February 3rd, 2021. • I’m told that once payment is received, work will begin in about 3 weeks. • Payment is sent in and the check is cashed • Endless phone calls and text messages drag on for several months. I hear 3-5 week estimated install about 5 times. • In July I call ABC siding and the rep tells me they haven’t manufactured our chosen siding in 3 months and the estimated arrival of this particular siding is January 2021. • I call ZCI and tell them, they tell me I can find it somewhere else and it will definitely be cheaper and they will give me back the difference. • I find siding at Menards that is cheaper and will be delivered in 3 days instead of 6 months • A week goes by before I get an answer back and I am told the siding I originally ordered magically came in…. • The crew installs the siding. I have to manage the install from over 2 hours away because the crew does not speak English and the communication line between myself and project managers is convoluted. Multiple installation issues are addressed including driveway asphalt damaged from a ladder, a light that I declined to have installed which got installed by someone who obviously is not qualified to do so, a new rug that was ruined, an awning that is now laying on the ground that was supposed to be disposed of and a tripped breaker to a deep freeze full of food that spoils. • The install is finally done 10 months later. • I am asked to schedule a walk around with the “crew leader”. I schedule it and he never shows. • I am told the next day they will come by the following afternoon and once again, they don’t show and I can’t get a response or an ETA. NEVER AGAIN."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Creosote buildup, cracked liners, structural degeneration, or obstructions like nests necessitate attention to prevent combustion or air quality issues.

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