We had found 2 dead rodents and feces in our encapsulated crawl space and felt we shouldn’t remove ourselves. Joe quickly responded and was very helpful. They were able to come out quickly and took care of our issue with care and professionalism. Thank you!

We had a skunk living under our house, they came out same day while the skunk was gone and recovered the vent holes. They said they would work with us and insurance and that is what they did I was concerned a little they made sure I felt comfortable and all worked out great in a very short time. Thanks for your great and fast service!!!!!!

They came out and check the mold. They said it is on the outside of the house, so not an issue.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Most of the work that we do is covered by insurance so all we would collect is a deductible, and bill insurance for the rest. Of course we work with clients on self-pay jobs as well and are competitively priced.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would schedule with you according to the response needs of the situation. Generally I inspect and assess the situation or the need and determine what the best route is for handling, and propose the best route for the client. Often there is a question as to whether something should go through insurance or not, and I help with that and we proceed according to the needs of the situation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed general contractor and am also certified in water, fire, smoke, water damage, mold remediation. I have 39 years of experience handling jobs from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage, rebuilding from the ground up, etc.
