Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need to Move Out During the Restoration Process?
You may need to move out temporarily – it depends on your situation. During our inspection, we'll check for safety hazards, damage levels, and health risks. Based on these findings, we'll tell you if staying at home is safe while we work. Our priority is keeping you safe and getting the job done right. Our honest assessment helps you plan ahead and makes the restoration simpler. If moving out is needed, we'll explain why and help you understand how long you might need alternative accommodation.
Can I Stay in My Home While the Restoration Work Is Being Done?
No, you shouldn't stay in your home during restoration work, however, each water damage situation is unique. Based on IICRC guidelines, about half of all water damage repairs require temporary relocation.

How Do I Know if I Have a Mold Problem After a Flood?
