"I can’t recommend DryMaxx Ohio enough! As a business owner in the Riverside/Dayton area, time is money—and when we had unexpected water damage at our facility, they were on-site the same day I called and immediately started the mitigation process. That kind of rapid response is rare, and it made all the difference. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. They handled everything with the insurance company on my behalf, which took a massive weight off my shoulders. On top of that, they brought in specialized teams for every phase of the project—water mitigation, demolition, flooring, construction, painting, and even post-project cleanup. Each crew was professional, efficient, and clearly knew their stuff. What really stood out to me was how responsive they were. Anytime I had a question or concern, someone got back to me within 30 minutes—no exceptions. That level of communication and accountability is rare these days. Honestly, it feels like there’s nothing they can’t do."

"I was quoted a price of $95 for cleaning 2 rooms - service was to include pre-treating, and cleaning under the couch/loveseat, etc. I was not home when the young child showed up to clean the carpet. Apparently he attempted to quickly run the steam cleaner without moving anyting (and without pre-treating). My wife asked about cleaning under the couch etc. She was informed that was the "next package up". The tech reluctantly agreed to move the couch & loveseat to clean under them. My wife asked about the stains that didn't come up in the high traffic areas. Once again, the tech claimed that pre-treating was included in the "next package up". When pressed, he agreed to only charge us $20 to get that area clean (instead of the normal $30). When he left, the carpet looked "OK" according to my wife. Final charge $124 - quoted price $95. I called the office and inquired generically what was included in the advertised package. I was told it included pre-treating and cleaning under the couch & loveseat. I then revealed that in fact I was inquiring about the job just completed, and the upcharges. KELLY - the phone answering person then switched her position and said we had to *ask* to get the furniture moved - no mention of any next level up package. After calling the tech she stated that he actually applied some special "enzyme", and that was $30. I never asked for any "enzyme" - I asked for the pre-treatment that ****I PAID FOR****. KELLY refused to make this right, and instead acted as if she could have cared less. Do yourself a favor - AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS - they are *CROOKS* and *LIARS*. I have filed a claim with the BBB."

Dry rot, water or pest damage major repairs FAQs
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.
