Which service fits Waterford Estates homes

The call is the same, the work differs. For water in the house, ask about flood cleanup, ceiling water damage repair or water damage removal, depending on what is wet and how it got there. After a fire, the usual starting point is smoke odor removal. If you smell damp or see growth, begin with mold removal. Water first, mold second is the safe order: dry the structure and the mold has nothing to grow on.

Tips when you call from Waterford Estates

• Move cars out of the driveway if you can. Crews often need room for a truck, hoses and equipment close to the entry.
• If your street has narrow access or limited parking, mention it. Crews bring hoses, dehumidifiers and air movers, and they need a place to park near the door.
• If you rent, call your landlord or property manager at the same time you call for help, and keep the message in writing.
• Tell us if the home has a crawlspace, a slab or an attic with ducts. It changes where water hides and where mold grows.
