Which service fits Holford homes

What you ask for depends on what happened. A leak or flood usually points to ceiling water damage repair, water damage removal or emergency water restoration. A fire points to kitchen fire cleanup. Persistent odor or visible growth points to mold testing. Whatever the start, drying quickly is what keeps a water problem from becoming a mold problem.

Tips when you call from Holford

• Do not sign a work authorization you have not read, and do not let anyone talk you into tearing out more than the damage requires.
• If you live in a townhome, duplex or apartment, say so. Shared walls and neighboring units change how water and smoke travel, and the property manager or HOA may need to be involved.
• Keep receipts for emergency expenses, such as hotel stays and fans you bought. Insurers may reimburse reasonable costs.
• If the power is out, say so. Dehumidifiers and air movers need electricity, and some providers bring generators.
