"In February of 2024 I was in the hospital, and the pipes froze and cracked in my studio on my property. I was totally unaware until I came home and found a “we suspect a leak ”notice on the front door from the water company. I went out and saw water running out of the building next to it, and when I walked in the internal pipes were gushing water from everywhere! I called the City to come shut it off, and they calculated it had been running for more than 2 weeks! Next the plumber, Oregon Plumbing my local and beloved plumber. He made an initial assessment and gave me the number to DryTime Restoration. I also called my insurance company. Drytime was very thorough and came many times with specialists to give a detailed cost analysis. The final inspection was also sent to my insurance company.

Our happy and satisfied customers recommend us to their friends and family all the time. We are proud of our reputation and we feel it has been well earned. We are also happy that we can help you feel good knowing that you are working with a reputable company that stands behind its products and services.

"I hired Secure Seismic to do a retrofit of my single story ranch built in the 1970s. Though I'm in the southern Willamette Valley and a ways from Portland, Daryl came down to give me a free estimate. Secure Seismic came in below their competitors and Daryl discusssd the plan with me in depth. Based upon the quality of the reviews, I hired Secure Seismic. They scheduled out within a couple of weeks. Johny the foreman kept me on the loop while they were at my house. They completed the job within a day and left the site clean. Pieces of drywall cut for access in the garage were thoughtfully replaced and will take little effort to clean up. Thanks for great work! I already sleep a little better knowing that my house will likely be okay when the big one hits."

"I highly recommend David and his company, Rutman Restorations. I had rodents in the crawlspace of my home and the insulation and vapor barrier needed to be removed and replaced. This was no small task, as I have a single story home which has a larger footprint than many two story homes. David and I agreed to an excellent price and timeline. At first I was a little overwhelmed because I could see this was going to be an all hands on deck process. David coordinated work with Summit Pest company regarding the removal of the rodents and even spoke with the HVAC company when we discovered water in one of the ducts. (Which has now been addressed by the HVAC company that installed the A/C). David and his crew went to work right away removing old contaminated insulation and then sprayed the crawlspace with an antimicrobial solution before installing the new vapor barrier and insulation. David always kept me informed as the work progressed. I was happy to see they were using respirators, specialized suits and other safety equipment during the process. The crew worked diligently, had a great sense of humor, they were respectful and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I’ve owned other homes, but this is the first time I’ve ever been involved in the restoration of a crawlspace. I knew I was in good hands with David, Nico, Ben, Nayla and their great crew. Thank you for all your hard work! Kudos to all of you!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

In many cases, professionals can completely remove certain types of smoke damage from walls and ceilings, but it’s only possible if the damage is minor. For more extensive damage from major fires, you’ll likely need to replace the damaged materials entirely. Some items, like upholstered furniture, are much trickier to clean and might need to be replaced even if the smoke damage is minimal.

In many cases, homeowners insurance will cover smoke damage remediation costs , depending on the cause of the damage and the details of your insurance policy. Consult your policy before making a claim to ensure you have all the necessary documentation and follow the appropriate steps to make your claim. Your insurance company may have approved smoke remediation companies for you to choose from to help make the process smoother.

Baking soda is an effective fire reduction method. However, flour and baking powder are very dangerous around flames. Flour is flammable and it can also conduct electricity. The combination can cause serious injury from electrical shock and worsen the situation by adding fuel to the fire. Baking powder is also not an option as it's also highly flammable. 

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

Yes, most homeowner’s insurance companies cover smoke damage if it stems from a covered issue, like a house fire or a wildfire. If you’re unsure, you can read through your policy or call your provider immediately after the event to see if the damage is covered. Make sure to document all of the damage, including damage to furniture and other items, when you file an insurance claim so you can be properly compensated.
