I warning anyone that may be ready to contract this company Eco Water Restoration Inc., 8370 West…read moreFlagler Street, Suite 145, Miami, Florida 33144, I'll just share my story and hope to save you from unethical unlawful practices related to repair service work on my 87-year-old mother's Charlotte County home after Hurricane Ian damage in October 2022.
The first call I made was to Service master and Starting with the moment, Eco Water pulled out of their car and I asked them " are you affiliate of service master " and they said yes and at that moment, I do not believe they were Then they have my 87 year-old mother sign an iPad, which she does not want to do for a contract that has no estimate no cost. She several times requested everything in writing because she does not have an email address nor did she use a computer.
After they ask her what her deductible is and they say they will take that $7100 Up front
They make her sign an open contract with no pricing and no estimate
She's not comfortable and she immediately an estimate in writing to admit to the insurance company and they say "don't worry we'll call the insurance company and we work directly with the insurance company and we'll do all the billing through them "they never called the insurance company once . The only contact they had with this insurance company was when when they wanted all their money several months later.
This was predatory, contracting, profiling, the elderly
So after four days,
The insurance company and myself were request an estimate exactly of their cost of work to the moment and an estimate of repairs they sent us a bill for $17,707.68 for four days of work . I submitted that bill to insurance company field adjuster and he immediately said
"I can't tell you professionally what to do sir , but if they were in my home, I'd fire them for price gouging, which is illegal in an emergency situation in the state of Florida They're grossly overcharging you " and that's exactly what I did . This company is and was predatory contracting toward the elderly during a natural disaster.
Transaction date: October 2022 (work performed mid-October; invoice issued 10/7/2022). Then
Amount billed is $18,456.16 for only 4 days of work.
Subtracting 7120 deposit
As of this moment in time
Olympus insurance is guaranteed this company remaining payment of
11,336 .16 to
Eco Water and they have signed release form acknowledging satisfaction.
--only engaging with the insurance company when demanding payment.
They did not give her upfront estimates despite requests. Billing delayed 4 days with excuses ("printer problems").
Did not pull County permits
The $18,456.16 invoice was deemed price gouging by the insurer--illegal in Florida during a declared emergency.
Despite the insurance offering full prior payment right now and they have signed release, on September 9, 2025, the company filed a mechanic's lien, falsely swearing under oath they performed work in July 2025 at our home They have not been on the property done any work since October 2022.
We even offered them a simultaneous exchange to meet them at the courthouse. They release the lien which allows us to have it in writing that the Lein is released and we hand them their check and they refuse to do that.
They refuse to release the lien until the insurance settlement check clears their personal bank account, even though we have offered in writing to pay immediately upon lien removal.
I hope people reading this do not have to go through this below in me now filing a legal complaint about this company Eco Water Restoration
Nature of dispute: Fraudulent lien,
Predatory contracting toward the elderly , price gouging, deception, no permits, delayed documentation, extortionate demand for payment before lien release.
The business has not attempted resolution--there offering payment contingent on lien release.
Requesting to :
BBB , DBPR , State Attorney General , consumer protection office , federal trade, commission , Renewable State department Business Professional Regulation
My strong advice... I would run from this company soliciting you
