Water & fire restoration in Portland

Water and fire restoration businesses help after a flood, burst pipe, leak or fire by drying out and cleaning up a home or building, and repairing the damage so it stays livable. Many also handle mold, from testing and removal in basements, bathrooms and attics to crawl space work and duct cleaning. When you call, ask whether the company will document the damage with photos and moisture readings, since your insurer often needs them. Also ask who handles the insurance paperwork and whether they work directly with your carrier. Act quickly after water damage: mold can start growing within a day or two, so calling soon, even before you have a full estimate, usually limits the cost.
