Once Ben from Bales Restoration arrived to inspect the crawl space situation that we had been dealing with for months, and during the Pandemic, we were profoundly relived! Ben immediately put us at ease and lined up all of the important services to be performed!. He put our house on “life support” that same day as we were in a toxic environment, and continued to communicate what steps will be taken along the way, start to finish. Ben and team were outstanding in every aspect of this process, and it was not an easy task to take on, as two companies had failed to resolve before them. Very pleased with the outcome! We highly recommend Bales Restoration, they saved our home!!!

"[Member Name Removed]' the Bales staff is glad that Ben and the rest of the Team performed to the level you expected. Double trauma for you, dealing with stagnant water, an unhealthful condition and wondering about the implications of the Pandemic. We trust you are now more at peace and wish you health and comfort! The BALES TEAM thanks you for having confidence in us. Thank YOU!"

Bales Restoration was highly responsive to a city sewer backflow into the basement of a rental property of mine. Bales took care of everything in a timely and professional manner.

Ben Givens of Bales Restoration did outstanding work on this restoration project from start to finish. Ben explained each step of the project and why that step was important. His work quality was excellent, and he was focused on providing a great customer experience, which was definitely the outcome in this case.

These people, especially Ben, were so professional, so kind and made me feel like they were in their own home. Concerned that I understand everything they were doing. They took away my stress because they handled it so well. This has been such a wonderful experience. I would recommend this company highly.

We just moved to our dream lake house, and three months later our entire basement was full of water. We called Bales as they have an exceptional reputation, and are a local company. I am so grateful for their immediate sense of urgency, and the care they took to protect our personal items. I credit this amazing crew with the fact that all furniture was protected from water damage. The Bales team arrived within hours of my initial call, they had all the new equipment used for drying walls, preventing mold, and controlling humidity. They went out of their way to inspect for any signs of failing wall board, and they came by on many different occasions to check levels of humidity and drying progress. In the midst of this nightmare, I was so grateful to have confidence in our restoration crew. Thank you Steve, Ben, Felipe, Keith, Erick, Pat and Leo, you are a truly amazing team!

Bales was very professional and thorough. They put down floor protection everywhere they worked, including on polished concrete floors that might not have really needed it. They made sure that negative air containment was in place for every work area to prevent any mold spores from becoming airborne. They were also very careful not to damage anything that didn't need to be demolished. They were also very patient with my frustrating insurance company. When the scope of required work expanded beyond their expertise to include exterior demolition and exterior repairs, they were able to refer me to a good general contractor that took on those aspects of the work. I really hope I never need water mitigation services again, but if I do I will be calling Bales.

Fantastic, Ben was prompt and completed a very thorough job inspecting our home for mold and a moisture drive issue we had been looking for. He answered all our questions regarding what we should do for a viable fix and helped us make the proper decision. Without Ben's knowledge and expertise in this case we would be lost. He left us feeling confident and happy that we could fix the issue at hand. I highly recommend him for hire, he is extremely meticulous and logical in his work. I highly recommend Ben to any of my friends or family, he's has a very genuine demeanor. Don't think twice, call Ben at Bales!

Bales was great! They were thorough and professional and explained every step of their process, they did an excellent job of removing all contaminated materials, disinfecting everything, and cleaning up after themselves, and then they dealt directly with my insurance company to cover their charges! I cannot recommend Bales highly enough. I am especially appreciative of how kindly and knowledgably Chris Schmid, the Bales representative who managed my damage restoration, communicated with me. Chris is a true expert in his field. Thank you Chris and thank you Bales!

Incredibly quick response within the hour since it was an emergency. Very kind and reassuring walking us through all the steps. Was great that their system is so effective that NO drywall had to be removed and the dryers and cleaners used were all pet friendly. Moved all furniture and left everything as spic and span as they could. I couldn't have been more satisfied especially in an emergency situation.

The Bales Restoration team brought the necessary expertise and equipment without delay, treated the residents courteously and sensitively, and quickly brought the situation under control. They were highly professional in working with both the owners and the association leadership. If restoration needs develop in the future, which in a large condo complex is likely to occur, we will call Bales as the first step in the restoration process.

Will at Bales was wonderful. When discussing him coming to look at the issue, he called me back when he said he would and provided the information I needed. He showed up at the agreed upon time and was great to work with. He explained what he was doing and looking for and prepared us for the worst case each step along the way - lucky for us, we had the best case scenario all the way around! He was very careful in what he did, making our repairs easy!

We were very happy with the Bales crew, their expertise, and the final results. After a thorough inspection looking for where the water had traveled, a very detailed bid was drawn up and presented to us. This also included a very complete explanation of what would be done to dry the wallboard, framing, and carpet and which equipment would be used. (We had removed the wet padding as soon as we discovered the water leak.) We were told that the final cost could go up or down a bit, depending on the total drying time. In the end, the final cost went down because the water damage was dried out in two days, and the bid was for 3 days. Small holes were drilled at the bottom of the wet wallboard in the garage and a series of air blower tubes were installed. Additional blowers were set up in the garage cubby, and also positioned in the basement so that air was blown over and under the carpet which had become wet. A dehumidifier was set up in the basement and another one in the garage. An air- scrubber was set up in the garage to capture particulates blown around from the blowers. After 48 hours, Bales came out to check on the drying progress. Everything was dried to the technician's satisfaction and he removed all the equipment. We were very happy with Bales restoration, from start to finish. We would not hesitate to hire them again. It was a very stressful situation, and we felt that we were in very competent hands all along the way.

The bid process provided a detailed perspective of the damage and a detailed plan for the repair work, drying process and costs.  The clean-up job took 6 days to complete and the employees were prompt and professional.  The team removed the drywall, wet moldy carpet and other compromised materials, setup the drying equipment and dehumidifiers in a reasonable amount of time.

The workers returned at the scheduled date and time to inspect the job and determine if it was completely dry.  More time was required to complete the drying and the team brought in some additional heat equipment to finish the job.  They returned two days later to remove the equipment and clean-up.  The team did a great job on all fronts and I recommend them based on their work quality and work ethic.

As horrible as the experience was, I cannot give enough praise to Bales, especially Will who was in charge of the crew that handled my job.  Coming home to find 3/4" of standing water in your house is absolutely not a fun experience.

They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process, telling me what they were doing, asking me questions, and keeping me informed.  They were as unobtrusive as they possibly could have been, considering that they had to take over the entire downstairs.

There's absolutely no smell left over either from their equipment or from the water damage itself.  They were very conscientious of carefully moving what they needed to move, and cleaning up after themselves.  I'm extremely glad that they were the ones to come out and take care of that part of fixing up this mess.
