Call them or email and you get responses back months later. And then no communication till they take you to civil court. While I was nice and gave them 35 k to start the job with one page invoice. Then the insurance company is telling me my deductible was placed under one of there sub contractors they had our contents removed. What a joke. Well if you have a fire and want a company that hires people than have poor work ethic this is them. We terminated them because of gross mis -management. Asking to move back in our home and the owners decides to go to Poland. Then when they return to they used the excuse they were @ there lake house. While State Farm left us @ the hotels. Moving forward. They never gave itemized bills just money they could attempt to extract from State Farm. Be weary of what u sign with them. Also look up how many people they have take to civil court. I have videos and pictures from our surveillance caneras of the staff coming around after 10 am. Taking long lunches in the park. Sitting idlinggggg g the master group trucks. Coming back in the house after lunch work for about less then hour and then head back to Barrington because of traffic delays. Keep away from this company. Billing !!! they will attempt to bill your insurance and if the insurance denies them they will go after you. Without even provide a billing of what they actually did. They will damage your belongings more so than any natural damages such as a fire in a home. If you value your home than there is no value to this restoration company.

The sheer amount of information out there is overwhelming, so I compiled a list of what I found to…read morebe the most effective and helpful tips for cleaning up after a basement flood. Keep in mind, a flood can be anywhere from 2 inches to 2 feet (or more) of water, and that water can be sewage backup or rainwater (or a combination of the two). I've tried to pare down the information so that it's applicable in any flood-type situation. For professional help www.waterdamagecertified.com First things first - protect yourself. You don't' know what is in this water that's flooding your basement. It could be water pouring out of the hot water heater or it could be nasty water full of things so wear gloves, wear waterproof boots. If necessary, wear a mask or goggles. You may feel silly, but wouldn't you rather be silly than sick? Thought so. Next, disconnect the main electricity to the basement. Even if you have only 1 inch of standing water, there could have been a short, or some other electrical issue. Water conducts electricity. Do not be the person to get electrocuted in 1 inch of water. Please. Determine the cause of the flood. If the flood is a result of a broken pipe, turn off the water at the valve, If it's a backup from a blocked drain, do your best to unblock the drain - rent an auger, remove any visible blockages, anything to get water flowing OUT. Open any available windows or doors to let fresh air in. You may need it if your flood was caused by a block in the septic line. Stink city! Now, get the water out. If you have only a few inches, you should be able to remove the water yourself. If you have to wear a life jacket just to assess the damage, then call a professional immediately. Depending on how often you have to worry about floods, you may want to invest in a water extracting machine. They come in a variety of sizes and prices, and they work really well to remove water quickly. Otherwise, grab your towels and wet vac and elbow grease cos you're in for some water hauling! Professional www.waterdamagecertified.com Run a dehumidifier and fans. This is the best thing to do once the bulk of the water is removed, and you have determined that there are no electrical issues. A dehumidifier helps prevent mold formation and removes the moisture out of the air. The dryer the air, the less water-damage restoration you'll have to do later. A good tip to remember - shut the windows when you're running the dehumidifier. You'll be working against the great outdoors, and ultimately yourself, if you forget this step. By this point, most of the water is gone and thus, the wet stagnant stink. Carpeting is a problem. If you have nice carpet with padding, I hate to say it, but chances are you're going to have to rip it up and replace it. Getting the water out of the padding and subflooring is tricky but possible. There are plenty of resources available to help with this. Additionally, a professional restoration company may be able to salvage your carpeting, but it may be cheaper to just replace it. If you have just simple Berber carpeting with no padding, like I do, then you can dry it out successfully if you move fast during cleanup and employ the use of a lot of fans and dehumidifiers. If possible see if you can lift the carpet to dry underneath. That will help considerably. Your electric bill won't thank you but your lungs will. The thing you're looking to avoid is mold. Evil, evil mold. For professional help www.waterdamagecertified.com Remove any damaged drywall. Drywall acts like a sponge when it's wet - soaks it up and hangs onto it for dear life. Plaster walls can be saved, but you need to get some air behind the wall to the dry the studs. If you do get mold, most resources tell you that you can use a combination of bleach and water to kill it. While this may work if you have concentrated chlorine type bleach, most of the bleach we have on hand is diluted pre-purchase. So by mixing it with water, you're further diluting it and it becomes even less effective on mold on porous materials. YOU CAN, however, use this bleach/water mix on most hard surfaces like plastic toys, ceramics, glass, stainless steel, etc. The best thing to use on any porous material is a fungicidal spray directly on the affected area. The most important thing of all is to disinfect every surface. Every single thing that touched water needs cleaning. Hot water, heavy-duty cleaner and a scrub brush. This is the worst part, but it's 100% required. I worked in a grid throughout my basement, taking each section in a small square, slowly making my way through the entire area. Then, when I was done surface scrubbing, and the floor was nearly dry, I rented a carpet steam cleaner and scrubbed with that. www.waterdamagecertified.com

So we have had a sewage backup in my home and unfortunately my homeowners told me they work with…read morethis company called national catastrophe. I said ok I looked at that review my insurance adjuster had issued and part of the check belonged to me. They had an addendum for the opening and closing of the concrete which I believe was $2300. John turner said I should hand him the check plus my deductible and if there was anything left when they were done I'd get my portion of the check back via check or cash (strike 1) All the floor got cleaned the paneling and drywall cut, I'm assuming the framing cleaned as well. Concrete poured, dumpster filled. Dehumidifier going. I received check from insurance company and told john turner I had to send it which I overnighted it to my mortgage company and he said and we gonna keep charging and keep going. Friday was the last day their crew was here, Saturday they poured concrete (paid $700 for outside concrete guy, (said concrete would be completely dry I. 24-36 hours) charged me $1000 for making a phone call) nobody came Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Monday then a lone woman came prolly to clean up dust from concrete work. Nobody told me nothing that nobody was coming out for over a week. Strike 2 and 3. This Job started end of October my house is flipped upside down inside out. Their crew I understand in and out they propped screen door open but for like 3 days while taking out trash left the prop on and unfortunately bent my rear screen door. I'm hoping they sell the door closer at Home Depot because it's completely bent. I told them if they are waiting for the check to complete the job then don't come back. I don't pay my auto mechanic before they do repairs. I don't pay carpet cleaners before they clean carpets. Why would I pay for a $19,000 job + after deductible when the demo isn't even completed. Hell they didn't even tear the carpet off the stairs. I'm sure I paid for the dumpster. I received check on Saturday deposited it cleared on Wednesday. John turner picked up check for the demo work they did (over $7000) picked up check and told my wife the dumpster was being picked up tomorrow. Is that his call? Or is it because he was fired for job abandonment without telling homeowners hey we're not coming back for over a week (not the week of thanksgiving probably 2nd week in November) Don't get me wrong they did a phenomenal job with the demo work. Just to much negatives to continue with this company. I got guys coming out to hang drywall at $16 a sheet. Flooring im gonna do as well as painting. Gonna have to order a new dumpster and pay for another 1 because NatCat thinks my adjuster is their liaison and my adjuster is gonna contact me. You'd think you open your home to this company and homeowners have your company here when homeowners aren't home but do not have the decency to say hey Mr---- or Mrs ----- we ain't gonna be here next week. I got nothing but crickets. Then once paid they call to pickup dumpster and yet leave garbage bags of clothes trashed still in basement.

The crew came out quickly after our basement flooded and was able to get a bunch of fans in immediately and saved us from having to cut out any drywall. Rafal, who led the effort was incredibly friendly and truly had our interest in mind over anything else. It really felt that he was doing much more than just a job and that care was seen throughout. They helped us label floor baseboards so we could easily put everything back and helped guide us through other such logistics. Where items were still on the floor, they carefully hung them up as opposed to just shoving them into a nook somewhere. As opposed to wanting to quickly cut out walls, they gave it a great shot to see if the walls could be salvaged, which they were!
