I had a great experience using Service Master for water damage. They were easy to work with and charged a fair amount.

My Highest Recommendation for Bio 911…read more I had a mold problem caused by a leaking faucet and roof at my Mom's house. The mold remediation company that I was referred to, went ahead and started tearing out drywall before any contract was signed. They also would not answer most of my questions and only sent a single photo of what they found and that was only after I asked them to send me photos a second time. I called Bio 911 and spoke to Kirill, the owner of the company. He told me that he doesn't like to take on jobs that are already being worked on by another company, but he told me that he would be happy to come out to inspect and evaluate my problem. He was incredibly thorough. He checked the drywall where visible mold had been seen, checked a nearby restroom even though no mold had been seen in there, the outside wall of the building adjacent to the affected drywall, and even the walls of an adjacent apartment. He detected moisture inside of the outside wall of the building, which was something that the other company had missed, and he outlined the steps needed to correct the moisture problem and mold issue. Kirill did all this work simply because he likes to help people. He did not charge me a penny. How often can you find someone that does things just to help people? It is super rare and I am giving Bio 911 my highest recommendation as a result.

Kirill was very pleasant to talk with about our situation. He was very straightforward and…read moreknowledgeable. This has been a learning experience for me. I do not know if we will end up using them for the immediate clean up but they are on the short list for when we need them later.

TL:DR; Will misled us into paying upfront for much of the work that he either didn't complete at…read moreall or did poorly/not up to code. When confronted, he agreed to give us our money back but has failed to make the full payment after 9 months. He also forged our signature to pull permits because he doesn't hold a license himself. We hired Will (aka Wisal) in October 2024 for a fairly large home project, and it was an absolute nightmare. The ordeal he put us through was an extremely emotionally taxing experience for our family. On top of that, he had not honored the refund agreement for the poor and incomplete work. We are now out of the money he still owes us, and we had to find another contractor to correct the terrible work he and his "team" did. Here were the main issues that led us to fire him from our project: 1. Forged Signature: We discovered that Will pulled permits under my name without permission by forging my signature on the paperwork, which he initially told us was pulled under his company's name. 2. Suspicious Electrical Work: Before the scheduled electrical inspection, Will had his team patch up the walls, which would make it impossible to inspect the wires. We found this suspicious, so we asked 4 separate electricians to take a look. Without being able to see behind the walls, they all saw that the work was not up to code. 3. Unnecessary Electrical Upgrade: We told Will we only wanted to rewire the house and to pull the permits. He told us we're required to upgrade our electrical panel. This caused a 3-month delay as we waited for PG&E to do the work. When PG&E responded to us, they told us we actually didn't need the upgrade. We suspect this was Will's attempt to charge us for unnecessary work. 4. Pressured To Pay Upfront: He pressured us to pay upfront for fees associated with the PG&E work (e.g. trenching fees, paving fees, etc). In California, you only need to make a downpayment of up to 10% or $1000 of the total contract price, whichever is less 5. Overpaid PG&E Fees: Will charged us $3,500 for PG&E's engineering advance. We asked PG&E about the charge and were told it was only $2,500. 6. Inconsistent Team: His "team" changed all the time. Will also did not seem to know when his team would work on our house. It was only when we checked and saw that either minimal or no work was done that he would then call his team to ask why they didn't show up. 7. Constant Delays: Will would promise us work would be done by a certain time (e.g. end of the week), but those deadlines were rarely met. For example, he told us the week of February 18th that interior painting and tiling work would be completed by the end of the week. By the time we fired him on the last week of March, that work was still not done. 8. Unprofessional Work: For basic jobs like painting, his team did not cover our floors. We now have paint splatters, scratches, and drywall residue all over our floors and cabinets. After all these issues, we fired Will and demanded a refund, which he agreed to pay on a 7-week schedule. That was back in April of 2025. It's January 2026, and he still has yet to pay us back fully. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. P.S. If none of the above points convince you to stay away from this business, run some of the 5-star reviews through an AI detector. Many of them won't pass. I wouldn't trust a business with fake reviews. Would you?

Ah, the joys of homeownership. You think you're just fixing a little leak, and next thing you know,…read moreyou're starring in your own personal horror story--except instead of ghosts, it's a scammy contractor, a roof full of holes, and a rapidly draining bank account. Let me take you back to December 2024. After some heavy rains, we noticed a leak in our living room. Enter Will of Biohazmat (license #957784), who came in like a savior in a time of disaster. We were in a bit of a time crunch, planning to leave for a three-week holiday trip, and let's be real--it does rain in SF in December. Will assured us he'd take care of everything. Roof? Fixed. Ceiling? Restored. Peace of mind? Oh, how naive I was. Red Flag #1: The Mysterious Bathroom Leak One of the first things Will did was open up the ceiling--toward the upstairs bathroom. Now, I had explained, multiple times, that the leak happened after rain. Yes, there had been a small issue last winter, but it was clearly a rain-related problem. Still, Will was on a fishing expedition, hoping to uncover a more "profitable" issue. He eventually convinced me the entire roof needed replacing. I wasn't entirely sure, but hey, the roof was old. Maybe it was time? Spoiler: It was not time. It was a terrible decision. Red Flag #2: The Roofer Who Hates His Job The very next day, a roofer showed up to apply a temporary patch. He was barely inside when he launched into a rant about how Will had been delaying his payments for weeks and how he was planning to quit and work on his own. Now, a contractor's own workers bad-mouthing him before work even starts? That's a neon sign flashing "run" in bright red letters. But between holiday prep and wishful thinking, I convinced myself it would be fine. It was not fine. Red Flag #3: The Disappearing Act We left for the holidays. Will started work in January. I had set up cameras to monitor progress. It was a different roofer - I guess the first one has already quit. Three days before we returned, Will declared the job was done and demanded full payment. I got a few blurry, low-resolution pictures (classic), but on my cameras, I could still see workers moving around. Assuming they were just wrapping up (bad assumption), I wired the money. Terrible. Idea. The Disaster Unfolds Upon returning, I did what any responsible homeowner would do--I climbed up to inspect the work. Oh. My. God. Where do I even begin? Even without being a roofing expert, I could tell this was a train wreck. There were literal holes in my brand-new roof. You know, the thing meant to keep water out. I had a contractor neighbor take a look. Then, I brought in a few proper roofers. They all independently painted the same picture: total incompetence. Some highlights from my roof's tragic new look: The roofing material wasn't properly heat-sealed, meaning large sections could be peeled off by hand. Other parts were over-torched, melting the material and making it brittle. The seals around pipes? Instead of using proper metal flashings and sealants (as is standard), they smeared on some mystery black goo. Around chimneys and walls, instead of applying material properly, they just stuck it on without capping--essentially creating pockets for water collection. Drainage system? Not sealed at all. As if they just assumed water would avoid those spots out of respect. At this point, my frustration had reached Olympic levels. Red Flag #4: Will's "Fix" Was Even Worse I confronted Will, who eventually agreed to send someone to "fix" things. Enter Victor Hernandez, a supposed "partner" of Will's. I asked if he was licensed. Will assured me he was. Victor assured me he was. Fast forward through some back and forth, Victor himself admitted the roof was beyond repair (shocker). So, naturally, Will's solution was... to have Victor re-roof it. Because clearly, the guy whose company just butchered my roof was the right person for a do-over. When I asked what system they'd be using, it was total confusion. They claimed they'd heat-glue the roof but showed me materials meant for cold application. These guys didn't even understand the product they were using. So I asked for Victor's credentials. Nothing. No response. So I did my own digging. Guess what? Victor's license (#1071828) was suspended. He had no roofing license. His general contractor license was revoked due to a lawsuit. I confronted Will. After some discussion, he agreed to pay me back and part ways. Guess what? That didn't happen either as of now. And Then It Got Even Worse... It's been four weeks since that agreement. I'm still owed $9000. No payments. And just when I thought it couldn't get worse--it got worse. Before I had the chance to redo the roof, one of the drainages (the ones they didn't bother to seal) leaked and flooded my baby's room. So let's recap: Replaced a roof that probably didn't need replacing. Got scammed out of $9000. Ended up with more damage than when I started. Flooded my kid's room.

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. I did not get any other bids, so I cannot comment on the value of the price, but they completed the job in a timely manner and no additional costs were incurred following the original bid.

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.

When our toilet suddenly overflowed and flooded our home, causing extensive water damage, we were…read moreabsolutely devastated. But from the moment we called Serve Pro, we knew we were in the best hands possible. Their team of certified water remediation experts, led by the incredible project manager Edward, went above and beyond in every way to restore our home and give us peace of mind during an overwhelming ordeal. Erik arrived within an hour of our call to assess the damage. He was so knowledgeable, thoroughly explaining the entire remediation process and patiently answering all our questions. With a calm and reassuring demeanor, he made us feel at ease right away. Using advanced moisture mapping technology, Erik, Edward and their team determined the full extent of the water migration, even finding hidden moisture in the crawlspace that could have led to serious mold issues if left untreated. Serve Pro immediately got to work, extracting the standing water and carefully removing all the damaged drywall, insulation, and flooring. They were so meticulous, making sure to get every last bit of moisture to prevent any mold growth. Edward personally came by every day to check the moisture readings, adjust the industrial-strength drying equipment, and make sure the process was going smoothly. The way he consistently went the extra mile, even identifying and treating a small mold issue in the crawlspace, showed how much he truly cared. What really blew us away was when the Serve Pro team took care of the mold removal and cleanup in the crawlspace at no additional cost to us, even though it wasn't covered by our insurance. They spent hours down there in the tight, dimly lit space, making sure every inch was properly treated. Their generosity and commitment to doing the job right, no matter what, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Throughout the drying process, the Serve Pro crew was so professional and respectful of our home. They protected our belongings, cleaned up after themselves every day, and went out of their way to minimize disruption to our lives. With their expertise and top-of-the-line equipment, they had our home dried and sanitized so quickly, and Edward coordinated everything with our insurance rep so we didn't have to worry about a thing. The level of service we received from Serve Pro was truly phenomenal. From their rigorous moisture monitoring and mold treatments to their assistance with the repairs and rebuild process, they made a difficult situation so much easier to handle. Edward was always available to take our calls, provide updates, and offer support. His compassion and tireless work ethic really shone through. In the end, Serve Pro didn't just restore our home, they restored our faith in service providers. They treated us like family and cared for our home as if it were their own. We are forever grateful to Edward and the entire Serve Pro team for their skill, dedication, and heart. If you ever have the misfortune of experiencing water damage, there's no one else to call but Serve Pro. They are simply the best in the business and have earned customers for life in us!

My review is based solely on my interaction with Ronnie, not the field team. I have no experience…read morewith the technicians, and I'm sure they may do great work. I contacted Servpro as a renter needing smoke damage cleaning for my personal belongings after a house fire. From the beginning, I felt like I was treated as an afterthought. While I was explaining the damage to my belongings, Ronnie seemed far more interested in getting my landlord's contact information and pursuing the larger restoration job for the home. I was told that if the property owner chose another restoration company, Servpro would not help me with my belongings because they didn't want to work alongside a competitor. I explained that I had no control over my landlord's decision, but was still told my services wouldn't be provided if the owner didn't hire Servpro. What made the experience even more frustrating was that after I canceled my scheduled appointment based on what Ronnie had told me--that Servpro wouldn't help me unless my landlord also hired them--he texted me asking for my landlord's contact information so he could pursue the entire insurance claim and meet with the adjuster. That only reinforced my impression that my needs as a renter were secondary to landing the larger restoration job. That feels wrong for a company that advertises fire and disaster restoration. Instead of helping someone who needed smoke damage restoration, it came across as prioritizing larger contracts over customers who genuinely needed assistance. I found the experience disappointing and unprofessional.

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.
