If you are one of those unfortunate people out there who happen to own a home and can't call a…read morelandlord to fix your troubles, you tend to rely on certain groups of people to help you out when daily living in your home goes south. Take for instance, a 3-year-old in a 2nd floor bathroom with plenty of toilet paper and a toilet that will not stop running. The power of water is an awesome sight to behold, but when it comes dripping and pouring through your 1st floor ceiling, your shock and awe tends to belong more to the panic variety than wonder and amazement. For those of you who have not had this life experience, I offer these sage bits of experiential wisdom: 1) don't panic, 2) shut off the water, 3) get towels and mops, 4) call a plumber, 5) pray (can't hurt), and 6) call Power Dry. My family was the victim of just such an incident this past week, and needless to say you do feel rather helpless and worried when you see an upstairs bathroom turn into a sequel of "A River Runs Through It". Sooner rather than later, you are going to want to call professionals who can get to scene and help alleviate the moisture problem, for fear of mold setting in. That's where Power Dry comes in. We were fortunate enough to be home when this happened, so the damage was contained fairly readily. Our insurance agent (State Farm) recommended Power Dry, as they were a preferred provider for these types of situations. Although our guys were way over in Missouri on another case at the time we called, they got to our house as quick as possible and were able to start hooking up industrial blowers and dehumidifiers relatively quickly. The whole process probably took just under an hour. They were very methodical and certainly gave the impression that they had seen these situations many times before and knew what to do. The sound of several blowers and dehumidifers can be rather disturbing ... sort of like living on the tarmack at KCI. But you do what you have to do. After 48 hours, they were able to come back and take most of the equipment out, and another 48 hours later we were cleared to have all of the remaining equipment removed. The guys who provided service to us were friendly, knowledgable, and even dealt well with our excited 3-year-old daughter. I don't recommend going out of your way to try and find an excuse to get the Power Dry folks over to your domicile anytime in the foreseeable future, but if you need them, they are a great bunch of guys and ladies to have on your side in a tough situtation.

I contacted PowerDry for water mitigation, and on July…read more28, a representative named PJ visited, inspected the damage, and provided me a written bid of $7,712 to $11,079. PJ made several assurances: that the final invoice would likely fall at the lower or middle range of the bid based on his evaluation, that they would work with my insurance company (Traveler's, which has a $10,000 limit for sump pump claims), and that they would do their best to ensure I would not pay out of pocket for mitigation and restoration. Relying on these statements, I proceeded with PowerDry. - After the work was completed, I was shocked to receive an invoice for $13,056--well above the signed bid maximum of $11,079. When I asked for clarification on why the costs were nearly double the lower range initially promised, they could not provide a clear explanation. They admitted there were no unforeseen complications or delays but simply repeated that the charges were "industry standard." This directly contradicted PJ's assurances and the written bid, creating a strong impression of misleading and opportunistic practices during an emergency. -Additionally, during removal of the basement trim, PowerDry caused damage to my drywall that was unrelated to the water damage. When I requested they repair or take responsibility for the damage, they refused, claiming they were not liable. -I feel misled and exploited at a vulnerable time. PowerDry used reassuring promises to secure my business, only to inflate costs beyond the bid and refuse accountability for damages they caused. Their conduct feels like bait-and-switch tactics, prioritizing profit over honesty and customer trust. I am seeking accountability for their misleading practices, overbilling attempts, and property damage.

If you are considering Phoenix Restoration for water mitigation or restoration, read this…read morecarefully. Phoenix Restoration performed water mitigation at our home in January 2025 following a sewer backup. What followed was a months-long ordeal involving undisclosed mold, mishandled asbestos issues, contradictory documentation, and unprofessional conduct. The most concerning fact: neither we nor our insurer discovered these issues ourselves. Our insurance adjuster uncovered Phoenix's own internal photos more than nine months later in a portal neither of us had access to. Those photos fundamentally changed the claim. This review is based on documented evidence and a recorded call involving Phoenix, the insurer, and myself. Key Issues: - Undisclosed Mold: Phoenix photographed mold behind drywall in January 2025 but never disclosed it to us or the insurer. The adjuster confirmed there was no mold documentation anywhere in the claim file. When questioned, Phoenix claimed a verbal disclosure but admitted they had no notes, emails, or records to support that claim. - Asbestos Tile Disturbance: Phoenix's own photos show intact asbestos-containing floor tiles before demolition and cracked, chipped, and missing tiles afterward. Despite this visual evidence--even when shown their own photos--Phoenix denied disturbing the tiles. The adjuster stated the photos clearly supported the homeowner's account. Contradictory and Unreliable Documentation: The insurer identified serious inconsistencies, including: - Drying logs with identical timestamps across rooms - Logs inconsistent with Phoenix's claimed site visits - Records appearing to be entered later in bulk - Conflicting timelines and unexplained equipment billing - The adjuster repeatedly noted that the records did not align with Phoenix's explanations. - Unprofessional Conduct: During a routine fact-finding call, Phoenix's representative became defensive, evasive, and hostile, refusing to answer basic questions. The adjuster had to de-escalate the call and later confirmed the behavior was unprofessional and unnecessary. - Adjuster's Assessment: Our adjuster, who handles claims nationwide, stated she had never encountered a contractor who failed to perform post-remediation clearance testing. She described Phoenix's approach as "very unusual," their communication as lacking, and their conduct as below industry standards. - Impact: Because Phoenix failed to disclose hazards, denied documented damage, retained photos internally for months, and produced inconsistent records, the insurer was forced to investigate long after the fact--delaying hazard testing and forcing us to reconstruct events ourselves. - Bottom Line -- Phoenix Restoration: 1. Failed to disclose documented mold 2. Denied asbestos damage shown in their own photos 3. Produced contradictory and unreliable records 4. Behaved defensively during basic information-gathering 5. Fell below industry standards, per the insurance adjuster I do not recommend Phoenix Restoration for mitigation or remediation work--especially where mold or asbestos may be present. Homeowners deserve transparency, professionalism, and safety. Feel free to review the transcript and audio file of the communication between Phoenix, myself, and my insurance adjuster: https://turboscribe.ai/transcript/share/6854478632927015031/ji7ufVhCh65uOTjfBF0q5Qe5aAkTT12nkiM-34gOdYA/2025-11-06-call-with-phoenix-250045657
