"On February 2nd we had a freeze all across Connecticut, our pipes bursted in 6 different places. I called every restoration company in 3 different states, and nobody had any openings for at least a month. Everyone was so overbooked because of the freeze. I remembered a company I've heard about, in San Antonio TX called canco restoration. I called and spoke to a man named Kenneth Barrett and asked if he would be able to help me. He told me he was more than willing to help us out! I called my insurance company USAA and got the go ahead for Canco to come out. The next day Kenneth, and his estimator flew out here to Connecticut. We got the estimation done, and that Saturday his whole team drove from san antonio TX to Connecticut. They were here for approximately 5 days, they worked fast and efficiently! The team did an incredible job with the water restoration and drying everything out. I couldn't of asked for a better company! CANCO is the best water restoration out here, hands down! The build back was incredible as well! My husband and I were able to be kept in the loop every step of the process! My house is 100% better than how it was before! The total cost of my restoration was 90,000. I feel truly blessed that Kenneth Barrett and his team could be of service all the way in Connecticut. If anyone needs water restoration work done, I absolutely believe CANCO is the best and only option!"

"We experienced extensive water damage when our upstairs bathroom flooded while we were out of town for a few days. It affected so many parts of our home and was incredibly stressful. After reviewing others’ water mitigation and restoration reviews, we decided to go with Restoration Solutions as Sam was repeatedly listed to be dependable and trustworthy. This definitely proved to be the case over the course of 3.5 months of work and communication with us and insurance that needed to be done. We felt Sam was in our corner throughout and helped us make sense of the jargon we didn’t understand. He also went to bat for us and ensured our complicated and prolonged insurance claims were seen through. His employees were polite and professional and got the work done efficiently. He contracted out with a couple of other contractors that also did fantastic job and were polite as well. I couldn’t recommend this company and Sam enough!"

"I can’t thank Restoration Rescue enough for their help. My neighbor’s tree had fallen on my roof, Storms came rolling in not too long after & I woke up to rain pouring into my home. After arguing with the insurance companies for a good week or so, I decided I couldn’t wait any longer. I contacted Restoration Rescue & Kenny Barrett came out quickly, assessed the damage, & got his crew to begin water mitigation—SAME DAY Y’ALL!! This company is professional, kind, & incredibly thorough — they explained everything clearly to me & made sure my home was properly dried out. What could have been a total mold disaster turned into a manageable situation because of the quick response & expertise of these guys. I truly appreciate the hard work & compassion given to me during this really stressful time. I 100% recommend them to anyone who needs water damage restoration or emergency help after a storm. They will also be doing the remaining repairs on my home, best decision I’ve ever made!!!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

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. 

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to clean smoke damage, depending mostly on the extent of the damage and the method your professional uses. Ozone smoke restoration is a popular option that takes just 24 to 48 hours, but you may need multiple treatments to remove odors. For major house fires, it might be a better option to replace smoke-damaged materials, which could take six to 12 months.

Even if they look fine, carpets should be replaced after smoke damage since they can absorb smoke, soot, and water all the way into the carpet padding. Fully removing smoke, fire, and water damage from carpeting can be a complicated and time-consuming process, so replacing the carpet is a safer bet.

Solar panels that haven’t been properly inspected and maintained pose several risks to homeowners. Firstly, a dirty, obstructed, or malfunctioning solar panel won’t be able to generate as much power, which could lead to power shortages and wasted money. But more importantly, neglected solar panel arrays can become dangerous if left for too long. Corroded wires and exposed circuitry are fire hazards, so it’s strongly recommended to keep up with regular maintenance to protect your home.
