Frequently Asked Questions

• Is water damage covered by insurance?

  It depends on the type of insurance policy you have. Depending on the source of the water damage, your insurance may or may not cover restoration services. If the damage occurred due to a plumbing leak inside the home, you’re typically covered; however, infiltration from heavy rains may not be covered unless you have flood insurance. We understand that navigating the complexities of insurance can be difficult, which is why we negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. We’ll work hard to ensure you get all the coverage you’re entitled to, streamlining the process and taking the stress out of filing claims.

• What is contents restoration?

  Our contents restoration services are aimed at restoring personal belongings that have been damaged by a flood, fire, or mold growth. While not every item can be salvaged, we aim to save everything possible, especially items that are sentimental or valuable. With a combination of advanced techniques, such as ozone treatment, ultrasonic cleaning, and dry cleaning, we can remove soot, mold, smoke, and odors from your furniture, clothing, electronics, and other items. Our restoration team will carefully evaluate each item to determine the best approach, ensuring that your prized possessions are returned to you in the best possible condition.

• Can you address lingering smoke odors after a fire?

  Yes, we offer smoke odor removal services to help you breathe easier after a fire. Smoke odors are often a sign of more serious concerns, indicating that the caustic chemicals spread by the smoke are lingering in your home or business. Without comprehensive cleaning and restoration, you’re at risk of damaged woodwork, corroded metal, broken electronics, ruined artwork, and respiratory issues. These effects may not appear until weeks or months after the fire, so it’s important to seek professional smoke removal services as soon as possible.

• How does mold remediation work?

  Mold remediation involves identifying, containing, and safely removing mold from affected areas. First, our professionals will inspect your property to locate areas of concern and assess the extent of the mold growth. Then, they’ll contain the area to prevent mold spores from spreading during the removal process. We use specialized equipment, such as HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, to eliminate surface mold and airborne spores. Some contaminated materials, such as drywall or insulation, may need to be removed and replaced. Finally, the area is cleaned, sanitized, and treated with antimicrobial solutions to prevent future mold growth. With our mold remediation services, you can rest assured that your property is safe, healthy, and free of harmful mold.

• What steps should I take immediately after a severe storm?

  After a severe storm, prompt action is key to ensuring your safety and minimizing property damage. Once the immediate danger has passed, contact our emergency restoration team right away at (208) 203-1512 for 24/7 service. We’ll help you check for hazards such as downed power lines or severe structural damage, document the damage for insurance purposes, cover exposed areas with tarps or boards to prevent further harm, and make a plan for restoring and repairing your property. Remember that quick action can help minimize damage, prevent mold growth, and expedite the restoration process.
