This time, two days later new flooding, we called AHS warranty company and this is who they sent. The guy wanted to re-create the flooding yet again even though we had 3 expensive fans running and damp ceilings! He had to "verify there was a problem". As if anyone would somehow damage their ceilings on purpose and rent fans and then call a plumber out on a lark! Those fanshad been running for two days already to dry out the ceilings and walls from the first flood--I was leaving town the next day and we already knew from the previous plumber the diagnosis. I wouldn't let him run water through the ceilings and walls again. We asked him to run a camera first. He told us he couldn't do that, as I wouldn't let him run the water and make a new flood! He said that he would have to cut into the ceiling drywall to find out if it was a copper pipe leak or a blockage and loose pipe fitting. Earlier, the warranty company had told me only plumbing was covered, not secondary damage or drywall cutting. It was obvious it wasn't a copper pipe leak, or the water would be there all the time. I never got an explanation as to why he couldn't run the camera (the least invasive method) first. Finally, he said he couldn't help us and walked off the job. He wouldn't look at the facts and wanted to take the easiest method, but we still would have had to have another plumber run a camera as the blockage was from hard water/calcium deposits plus baby wipes the prior owners had flushed. The guy wouldn't even go to bat for us with the warranty company and recommend the camera as the option, as it was clear there was a plumbing problem. He had to "recreate" the flood, or cut into the drywall--what if he cut the wrong place and kept going? He refused to run the camera and walked off the job. I'm sure he wasn't going to repair that drywall, and neither was the warranty company! That's my next review... American Home Shield and We Fix It Plumbing--F Minus!!

My husband and I had purchased a repair/replacement package when we bought the table, and the tech that came out from the company told me that the table would have to be replaced...it was unrepairable. Not wanting to do something that drastic, I e-mailed Restoration Guild through Angie's List and Mr. Vitaly Pototsky called me within the next hour to schedule an appointment to come look at the table the following week. On the day of the appointment, he and his coworker arrived promptly, assessed the damage, and informed me that they could indeed fix the table. They took it with them that day and returned it about a week later. It looks absolutely gorgeous...almost better than it did the day we bought it!

The price we paid did not include paint which was provided to us by our builder after initial construction. The builder supplied paint was used. Brant Home Repair and Remodeling did not obtain new matching paint. We also provided the baseboard wall trim and door trim, also remaining from initial construction. Only the drywall was provided by Brant.
The job ended up as a two-day fix since the drywall had to cure and dry before adding texture and painting. The end job was very good. We were very impressed with the work and it looks really nice.
We did not obtain any other estimates, and I'm not sure $350 is a great deal for the repair or not."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/universal-city/brant-home-repair-and-remodeling-reviews-6285654.htm"},"position":10}]}
Water And Smoke Damage Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Karnes City, TX
A local company that does it right! My most recent service was to replace an outdated water softener. The replacement was quick, clean, quiet and most of all professional. Kelly Parks and his crew have proved once again why they are my go-to for any water concerns: RO, water softeners, pool...
Gave Rick a call - he asked me to text him the model/serial info and a photo of the cooktop. He said that would help save him and us both time/money while he checked into availability of parts. Rick asked me a few questions to troubleshoot and suggested that I try doing what we talked about...

We called Jim later in the day, he was out right away to stop the leak. He then came back a day or two later and made the repair by lunch time. He also cleaned up the site well. We were very pleased and highly recommend him to others.

"The MESS! They made of my closets when they put things back in there( really looks like they threw things back inside) was Horrible!!! I have 3 huge closets upstairs beside the clothes closets, that I keep neat ,clean and orderly with holiday decorations. They did not paint the wall along the steps from where they removed carpet and replaced it with vinyl laminate. My bathroom that they used upstairs was left filthy with their urine stains on the toilet and the floor. I feel like I spent a lot of $ ( almost $7K) and I still need to pay some one to paint the area around each stair and I have several hours of work to remove everything out of the closets and put everything back inside."

FAQs for water and smoke damage repair projects in Karnes City, TX
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.
