"I hired Biotek to remove mold in my attic. They were absolutely wonderful. First Tyler checked my entire house , including the basement and the attic for mold. I had mold in the attic. His team came and cleaned my attic so beautifully, which is where the mold was, and I was extremely satisfied with their work. My house no longer smells like mold and I am very pleased about that. The Biotek team is a wonderful group of people who do their work extremely efficiently. Anybody who hires them will be very pleased just as I am."

"Terrible, they wet my carpet so bad it soaked into my floors under thecarpet, took a long time to dry and they barely clean it, or sucked up the water. The attitude of one of them was horrible. I, Roy Lowrimore would never want them back, but they also did my Mom’s the same day and hers was just as bad. July 5th was the day they were to come at 12pm they called me after 12pm and still hadn,’t left florence sc. when they got here they barely stayed an hour to do my home,left the water hose loose, left trash in the yard. I want my carpet redone by someone else not that team, and so does my Moma, Sylvia Stone. Please report this to the florence stanley steamer we have called they said they would call back but we have not received any calls back, this needs to be made right."

LOCALLY OWNED FRANCHISE.

"Extremely unhappy with their business practices. They caused additional damage while tear out and treatment phase of water damage area in my house. They broke my fireplace hearth and told me they would fix that portion as part of their own expense. After 3 months of waiting for them to complete repairs, I decided to hire a new contractor and told them I only want them to fix what they broke. At that point, I was informed that per their policy, they are not required to fix what they broke. They then told me that they would give me a quote for them to fix what they broke. I find that quite ridiculous that I should have to pay for the damage they caused."

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

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.

All of the components of stucco are non-combustible, so the siding material won’t ignite or spread fire to the interior of your home. However, it also expands and contracts with changes in temperature, so it will crack from long exposure to heat. Eventually, fire will spread through those cracks. Still, stucco is one of the best siding materials for fire protection and can keep you and your family safe for an hour, on average.

The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
