"Ambrosio was friendly and kind, made a thorough search through the attic and rooms of the house to evaluate the roof leak and resulting mold, and gave a detailed estimate of all the work that would be involved in remediation. Didn't charge for gas or estimate. We since haven't been able to get in contact for next steps, but appreciated the timely and thorough response for our initial request for evaluation."

"Scheduled work to start in June 2017. They had us move out for 3 weeks. We came back on the 9th day to check on things and found all the lights on, and all the shades open. The security alarm showed that no one had been in the house for 5 days. They made it pretty obvious that no one was home and everyone could see my fridge on display in the great window of the living room. My video cam showed them repeatedly throwing debris across my front yard. I met the GW PM twice in my home and then his contractors did their work unsupervised. He did not return until we came back and gave him the punch list. 1. Baseboards no longer seamless. Nail holes, overhangs, gaps. Someone came to work on them but didn't finish. 2. Chips in the counter above the dishwasher. Polished out. 3. Bathroom pipe from wall to toilet was bent. They said it came that way. 4. Who will put the refrigerator back in its rightful spot without scratching the floor? 5. There appears to be a big chip in the floor behind the fridge. 6. There is paint on the bathroom faucet and handles. 7. Who will install the access panel to the water main in the closet? 8. Who will stain the trim to match the shelf I gave you? 9. Please don't forget to bring the shelf I gave you. 10. There are several snags in the carpet. Not sure if I should just cut them off, or something else needs to be done. I'm worried if I cut them that it will start unraveling even more. 11. The closet where the initial damage was is still incomplete. 12. 13. Door stop on laudryroom trim not replaced. These attached pictures are from the walkthrough after they finished the the repairs and remodel in June/July 2017, which resulted in the punchlist above. I told the GW PM that I felt like the the home was worse off than when we gave it to them in the areas outside of the closet where the water main damage was. After many many months, the punchlist was finally completed, but we had to settle for a different wood finish than we had before. The new one was less resilient to water, and it was matte, not gloss. I questioned whether they put the sealant on top of the finish and it took about 6 months of negotiating and repeated visits by different insurance and GW people. It was never resolved and we terminated the agreement and our insurance with Nationwide."

"I wish I could give less than 1 star. This company took my money and conducted an audit, and after repeated requests on my end for the results and repeated promises on their end to give the results and a promise of a refund, have yet to do so in the 7+ months since the audit was conducted. This was after a multiple month wait on their wait-list to get the energy audit in the first place. I know this company has stellar reviews, but this has been one of the worst experiences with a business I've ever had."

It's impossible to prevent every instance of water damage, especially from extreme weather or river flooding. However, you can take steps to minimize the risk:
Inspect appliances and plumbing fixtures monthly for leaks and related issues. Ensure hoses are free from drips, and check the sealing around tubs and showers, caulking if necessary.
Hire a pro to inspect your home's plumbing, roof, foundation, and more each year.
Improve drainage around your home: Extend downspouts away from the foundation, enhance yard grading, and consider installing a sump pump to reduce flooding risks.
Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris and stay on top of cleaning tasks.
Install leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves: These devices can alert you to leaks and prevent extensive damage.
Winterize your pipes to protect them from freezing temperatures, which can lead to bursting.
Homeowners insurance generally covers water damage from sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or unexpected leaks. It typically doesn't cover damage due to neglect or poor maintenance. A home warranty covers breakages from normal wear and tear on appliances and home systems but doesn't provide structural coverage like homeowners insurance. It's essential to review your specific policy details and contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. Thoroughly documenting the damage with photos and videos can simplify the claims process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
A water-damaged home can take around five days to dry, though this depends on the damage. As for dedicated cleanups and repairs, it goes in phases, with water extraction taking at least three days and full restoration taking weeks or even months. Replacing drywall, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components can take a few days as well.
After water damage, you may need to replace porous items that have absorbed water and can't be thoroughly dried or sanitized. Materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, wall insulation, drywall, and other absorbent items often require replacement. Water can cause these materials to deteriorate and become breeding grounds for mold, posing health risks. It's important to assess all affected items and consult with a professional to determine what needs to be replaced to restore your home safely.
Detecting mold behind walls can be challenging, but certain signs may indicate its presence. If you notice discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint on your walls, mold could be growing underneath. A persistent musty odor is another strong indicator of hidden mold. Additionally, experiencing unexplained health issues like frequent sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation in specific rooms may signal mold growth. In such cases, it's advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess and address the problem promptly.
