Restoration starts with the right questions.
Every property loss is different. Explore what a sensible assessment and work plan may include for water, fire or mold—and what to confirm before hiring.
Water damage
From an overflowing sink to a soaked basement, the first decisions after water intrusion can affect safety, drying and what you can document later.
Explore the guideFire damage
The fire may be out, but safety, soot, water from suppression and the condition of your belongings still need a careful plan.
Explore the guideMold remediation
Mold is often the visible result of a moisture problem. A lasting plan addresses both, without promising that every airborne spore can be removed.
Explore the guideAsk for the source, scope and proof of completion.
An honest plan begins with safety and an explanation of what caused the damage. Ask which materials are affected, whether another trade must stop the source, how the work will be measured and what you will receive in writing. Restoration can be urgent; agreeing to undefined work does not have to be.
