Christopher B.'s review

Outstanding service from start to finish! When our water heater gave out and flooded our home, we were completely overwhelmed... They handled our entire insurance claim from start to finish, communicating directly with the adjuster and taking a massive weight off our shoulders. Their mitigation crew worked quickly and thoroughly to dry out the house... When it came time for the reconstruction, the craftsmanship blew us away. They didn't just restore our home; they rebuilt everything better than it was before the leak... They turned a stressful disaster into a seamless, positive experience, and we couldn't be happier with the results!

The usual sequence

What this kind of job involves.

  1. 01

    Stop the water

    A failed water heater is a supply of water that does not stop on its own. The first job is to shut it off and keep people clear of wet electrical equipment.

  2. 02

    Dry the structure

    Christopher wrote that a mitigation crew dried the house. On this kind of loss that means finding where the water traveled, extracting what is standing, and drying with air movers and dehumidifiers before anyone closes the walls.

  3. 03

    A record for the insurer

    He wrote that the team communicated with the adjuster. That is his account. Your insurer still decides what the policy pays. We photograph conditions and the work. We are not a public adjuster, and we do not negotiate the claim.

  4. 04

    Rebuild after it is dry

    He wrote that the reconstruction came after the drying, and that the finished work replaced what the leak had damaged. Drywall, flooring, and the water heater itself are typical of that rebuild. We do not have a published list of what was replaced in this house.
