What recent reviews say

When the crew shows up, they work fast and know their trade: basement floods cleared in hours, mold removed properly, burst pipes fixed with precision. But reviewers warn the office frequently bills two to three times the initial quote, charges travel time without warning, and leaves customers confused about what labour and equipment actually cost. A few mention language barriers with crews. The pattern is clear: strong fieldwork undermined by billing surprises and poor upfront communication.

Praised for
  • responsive emergency arrival
  • quality technical work
  • professional on-site crew
  • thorough explanations
Watch-outs
  • billing disputes and hidden costs
  • poor office communication
  • scope-of-work misunderstandings
  • inconsistent customer service
skilled-craftsmanshippunctualbudget-overrunspoor-communicationhidden-costson-time-completion
Best for: Homeowners facing urgent basement floods or water damage who can clarify scope and fees in writing before work begins.
Think twice if: Get a written, itemized estimate that explicitly states labour rates, travel charges, and equipment fees. Office communication is weak; confirm everything in writing.

Strengths

  • Fast emergency response (under one hour mentioned)
  • Full-service restoration (water, mold, sewage, fire damage)
  • Thorough on-site documentation and photo updates

Worth knowing

  • Website claims IICRC Certified Tech Specialists and Licensed full-service restoration
  • Travel time charged to customer (not always disclosed upfront)
  • Emergency call-out fees applied for after-hours service
  • Equipment rental fees charged separately for multi-day drying
  • One reviewer notes crew language barriers
  • One reviewer reports no resolution and property damage, payment charged without consent

Common questions

How quickly can you arrive for an emergency call?
Reviewers report under one hour for some calls; website claims 45 minutes or less, though one customer was charged for 2-hour travel time.
What does the final bill typically include?
Labour (per worker per hour), travel time (if charged), emergency call-out fees (for after-hours), and equipment rental (fans, drying units). Get all of these itemized in writing before work starts.
Do you replace drywall after mold remediation?
Drywall removal may be included in the scope, but replacement is typically quoted separately. Confirm in writing what is and is not included.

Two customers report excellent roof work and reliable service; one alleges a bait-and-switch scheme involving fabricated damage claims, inflated quotes ($110k vs actual $20k), and threatening collection calls. Limited review evidence makes strong conclusions difficult.
