This is an excellent question! While attempting to restore damage yourself may seem like a cost saving, it can become a long-term expense in the end. Why? Well, trained water restoration contractors adhere to a strict set of remediation guidelines. Examples of such certifications: Clean Trust (IICRC), ASCR, WLI, or WLS. These indicate that the company and the technicians all have extensive training in the science of water damage and clean-up, with a keen eye for safety and utilizing preventative removal methods to ensure there are no future damage issues, such as mold.
Moreover, you will want to choose a company with many years of experience. Personal recommendations from your insurance agent, friends or neighbors may help in deciding. Finally, ensure the contractor follows the IICRC S500 standards for professional water damage restoration. This standard is for the safety and health of your family, property and insurance needs.
Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair strictly adheres to IICRC S500 guidelines for water-damage restoration, insurance loss assessment & evaluation, categorization of the water, professional drying methods, structural and content considerations, detailed monitoring of the drying progress and final inspection details. All of our work is covered by a 1-year general warranty (excluding mold testing & remediation).
In fact, when you call us, a uniformed team of trained technicians will meet you on-site and thoroughly discuss the actions needed to bring your home back to a safe environment. We work with you based on your needs and that of your insurance company so that you understand each part of your loss. We always get your permission prior to starting any type of work and come prepared to begin the clean-up process. Specific details of your property’s clean-up process will be provided once we arrive on-site and assess the damage; we value the importance of your home.
I was very impressed with the two people who repaired the wall. They did it in just a few hours. They left no mess outside or inside. They actually left the area cleaner than it was when they started.
Jonathan's team did an amazing job. I keep hearing that American's are lazy and don't know the meaning of hard work. That's crap. These guys busted their rear ends working until after 7 pm on a Friday night to make sure the job got finished. They were very polite and professional and I can finally sleep at night knowing my basement wall will not be caving in. It was bad but now looks more than stable.
The crew from Lamunyon was outstanding beginning with the estimate through the final day of the project.
I look for Quality, price and service and they exceed everyone!
Ya'll did a fantastic job. Your company is the one I will recommend . Thank You!
Caleb, Issac and Jake are very hard workers and professional, reliable and trustworthy employees. They completed the project in a timely fashion and I would not have a problem giving them a reference. Caleb and this crew obviously take pride in there jobs. I was impressed in there attention to details. Totally satisfied. Thanks much!
A big thank you to Lance who responded to our late night call for help and to Jed and Gustav who arrived the next morning for the tear out and treatment process! These men did a fantastic job!
