We had already had plumbers out two days before for flooding and they found a major blockage and could only get the emergency taken care of. Because it was the first day in the home and everything was in boxes, we couldn't call the home warranty company (they refused to cover it after the fact as that first plumber was not a contracted plumber with their company). 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!!

I never would wish for the original problem (the cost of plumbing repair was not covered under insurance). But, Rick took what was at first an overwhelming disaster and turned it into a manageable experience. My house now looks SO MUCH nicer than it did before the water leak.

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.

"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!"

FAQs for water and smoke damage repair projects in Universal 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.
