I called Reactic Restoration on Friday, and Daniel Garza was able to inspect the damage that same day. Our house is older, so testing for asbestos was a standard part of the process; Daniel was able to get us in touch with an asbestos testing company that provides quick test results. That company got a tester to our house the next day (Saturday), and results were available Monday before noon. Fortunately, the tests showed that no asbestos was present. Daniel was able to assign someone to come to our house that same day, and set up dehumidifiers and plastic containment sheets with zipper doors, to seal the work zone, and to put down plastic to protect the carpet. On Tuesday, another team was able to remove the mold-affected wall materials, and wipe down the area with an excellent non-hazardous but effective disinfectant. They knew our preferred plumber was arriving at 1pm, and they were done with all work, including HEPA vacuuming and cleanup, before that time. The dehumidifiers are still set up, and will run for at least 48 hours. Daniel checked the area and the machines today (Wednesday), to make sure everything had been done correctly and that the dehumidifiers were working as intended. I am very happy with the service provided by Reactic Restoration. As Daniel kindly acknowledged on Friday, it's a shock to find mold in your house unexpectedly. It's been less than a week, and the mold is gone, and everything smells normal again! Everyone I encountered from Reactic was professional and kind. I hope we won't need their services again; but if we do, they will be our first call.

Great service! Daniel is so knowledgeable and provided solutions that were realistic and matched my…read morebudget. What a find!

From start to finish, Swift Restoration exceeded every expectation. Dealing with home damage is…read morestressful enough, and having a team that is professional, communicative, and genuinely customer-focused made all the difference. The crew was fastidious in their work -- nothing was overlooked, and every detail was handled with care. What really stood out was how assuring they were throughout the entire process. They kept us informed at every step, proactively answered questions before we even had to ask, and made sure we always knew what to expect next. That kind of communication is rare and incredibly appreciated when you're navigating a stressful situation. They were also timely -- showed up when they said they would and completed the work on schedule without cutting corners. If you're looking for a restoration company that treats your home like their own and puts the customer first, look no further. Swift Restoration has earned a customer for life. Highly recommended.

They were efficient, easy to work with and reliable. I worked with Idan, the PM who came by for the original estimate. He was informative, made helpful suggestions and answered all of my questions.

Rat infestation in my garage (never had rats before so didn't know the proper process)…read more I had to dispose of half the items in my garage. Junk removal took care of that job & removed the rat poop. Then I called A2Z to clean everything assuming that's all I'd have to do. Last night I saw a giant rat run across my garage so now I've paid $3500 to hazmat clean the 1/2 my garage but still have a rat infestation. I'm now working with a rat removal service but before A2Z allowed me to hire them & get in contract they should have advised me to be sure to complete the proper step beforehand of ensuring the rat infestation was resolved. Now i'm out $3500 for an unnecessary garage cleaning and still have a rat infestation. As a new homeowner (or any homeowner) I'd assume a good business would make sure I've done the pre work (in this case rat infestation elimination) before accepting the job. That's in my view a shitty thing to have done to me as the client. Really disappointed because they seemed professional throughout the process. So for this reason of not holistically proactively making sure the proper prep was done I cannot rate this business any higher than a 2 star. I'm not angry I am however very disappointed and feel that I've been tricked. I cannot recommend this business.

If you need a professional team to address an emergency water heater failure that spread water…read moreunderneath ALL of your flooring, you will find expertise and empathy in the team of Justin, Camilo and Sophia. Starting with Justin's prompt inspection, he objectively assessed the damage and walked me through the possibilities and next steps. He was realistic yet reassuring. Then the team of Camilo and Sophia were amazing. Arriving late in the evening they worked for hours on the water remediation job that included pulling off molding/floor boards and setting up fans/dehumidifiers. Despite the scope of the remediation growing, Camilo and Sophia showed their experience by staying calm and just working through the issues. Their professional demeanor and calm made you feel they were taking care of everything and things would turn out ok. The team provides an invaluable service in times of crisis. Bottom line, they will take care of you.

We discovered a leaking toilet in our upstairs bathroom was leaking down and causing wet spots in…read morethe ceiling and side wall of our downstairs laundry room. I've never had to use a Water Restoration service before so I browsed trusty Yelp and reached out to Fire & Water Damage. Glad fellow Yelp friend Karen W gave a glowing review! They seem to answer calls 24/7 and I was able to schedule an appointment quickly. Mike was main point of contact and gave us an estimate and scope of work. Basically, they had to tear out the drywall and insulation from the wet area, dry and dehumidify the area for days, and then put on moon suits and remove any mold. We were able to have 2 techs come on a Friday and then let the dehumidifier run over the weekend. We also had to tear out our upper cabinet since the top was damaged by water. On Monday, they came back to remove any leftover mode and patch things up. The total price came in well below the estimate, which is a huge plus. Very happy with the service and efficiency. If you ever suspect you have water damage from leaks, call these guys and get the problem resolved to ensure mold doesn't form or worst, spread. Note that their services are purely restorative - they'll dry out the water-damaged area and get rid of all the mold. You'll need to hire a plumber first to stop the leaks and then afterwards, a drywall contractor to patch up the holes with insulation and new drywall followed by texturing and painting.

I called Supraclean for a rushed estimate on our master bed/bath as there was a musty smell. I…read moreinquired on Sat for a Sunday estimate -- my floor tile guy was scheduled in a couple days and my family and I were moving in right after that -- no wiggle room time-wise. Sterling and Leonard were kind enough to come to Sonoma County on short notice for a FREE estimate! Sterling is a seasoned pro, and Leonard knows his stuff, too... L went under house in crawl space, then under house outside to view a new vapor barrier I had had installed and to check for possible water damage. Sterling used a device to test the moisture in exposed subfloor, and used other tools to determine a favorable outcome for us: there was no cause for alarm, no actively growing molds, the natural adobe earth often caused that musty smell, etc. He suggested I replace the carpet to help get rid of musty odor, and a couple days later they sent an estimate on using equipment to dehumidify, sanitize, etc. If we had had more time before the tile guy started, we would've hired them, but instead, since there was no health concern, we did some sanitizing ourselves and air filtering, and have made peace with the musty odor, always keeping a window open. I tipped them for their rushed response, for demystifying the musty odor, and for giving us peace of mind re: no harmful molds being present. Nice people, too. I read a few other reviews here for these guys and didn't realize they also do regular carpet cleaning. It may not be worth it for them to come this far just for carpet, but next time we need our rugs done, I'll see if they'll come out.

Compare this with another company on Yelp that strung me along (another 5-star reviewed mold remediation company) and still hasn't gotten back to me after they came out and never got a quote to me until I begged for one. Highly recommend this company and Sterling is just a fantastic individual. Straight to the point - quick and efficient and absolutely deserves a bonus check ASAP. All the individuals who came out on the job were professional, courteous and communicative. Cannot recommend them enough - this is as professional as it gets!! They don't have many reviews since most of their jobs are insurance claims - which makes sense now but they are the East Bay's hidden secret for all things needing restoration in your home.

The…read moremen who did the manual labor to treat our mold and water damage were excellent, hardworking, and professional. All 3 stars is because of y'all My issue is entirely with management. After my insurance company caused complications that led to First Call terminating the job which I understood, I received an invoice in May of last year. I paid that balance in full with two separate checks within two weeks. I have the receipts, the copies of the checks, and the bank statements showing exactly when First Call cashed them. After a full year of zero communication, I woke up today to a voicemail and email threatening to send me to collections within 48 hours. They claimed they had been "trying to reach me" for 12 months, which is untrue. I checked my call logs and my email history; there was absolutely nothing. When I called and provided my proof of payment and the exact dates they cashed my checks, they admitted the "error" was simply because someone forgot to check a box in their system. It is incredibly stressful and offensive to have your credit threatened because a company can't be bothered to check their own bank deposits before sending out threats. As a veteran, I live by a standard of integrity and doing your due diligence. Relying on a "checked box" as the Bible instead of doing actual research is lazy and unprofessional. Do better, not just for your customers, but for the reputation of the guys out there doing the actual work.

Greg and Jake did a stellar job, including some impromptu cleaning of the back deck! I chose to include a disinfecting wipedown of all the individual items stored in the basement - and removed for the cleaning - so now feel truly at ease about hygiene, (eliminated) hantavirus risk, etc. It was pricey, absolutely, but I won't have to do this again for ages, so well worth it.

However, when it came to the restoration, Manny, the restoration project manager, fell short. Very little to no communication from him. I had to use either Javier or the office manager Brandi to communicate with him. His estimate included many extra items and was impossible to reach to sort it out. I was also assured the restoration would be done in a timely manner but took a week just to come and do an inspection/estimate, another week to receive the estimate, then never followed up to go over the estimate. All the while, I had to inquire almost daily to keep things moving. I eventually decided to cut ties and go with a different company. I would recommend this company for remediation but look elsewhere for restoration.

I had a leak from my ceiling from the upstairs neighbors' dishwasher flooding. Ed came to check out the leak and put a fan to dry out the ceiling. When we found out the building had insulation instead of bedrock, Sara and team came to do the mold and wetness inspection. They were very considerate of my kitchen/dining area space, installing a tent to contain the dust, and moving my furniture and household items gently out of the way. After they cut holes for inspecting mold, and then patched the areas with dry wall, I did not like how textured they patched the ceiling. It was very obvious which areas of my ceiling got work done. However, Ed reassured me that the texture would be scraped down when they came back to do the paint. Indeed the texture was scraped down to match my existing ceiling and after a few layers of paint, I couldn't even tell that work had been done to my ceiling! Sara and another worker were very good about showing me the work/progress along each step, confirming that I was happy with the work, explaining the demolition and what they found, and also tidying up my kitchen/dining area when they were done with the demo/patching/painting. I loved how quick they worked, how responsive they were, and the end result.
