Property Restoration Services in Raleigh
Water, fire, mold, and storm damage, for homes and businesses. Our Raleigh team handles the cleanup and the rebuild.
Not sure what kind of damage you have? Call (919) 944-4529 and describe it.
Water damage
Water damage is common in Raleigh because heavy summer thunderstorms and tropical storm rain soak roofs, crawl spaces, and ground floors. A leak behind a wall can run a long time before anyone sees it. We remove the water, run the dryers, and fix what it damaged.
Water damage restoration
Fire and smoke
Cooking fires and electrical faults fill Raleigh homes and apartments in Garner, Cary, and Wake Forest with smoke and soot, and the firefighting water soaks the rest. We scrub away the soot from every surface, work on the smell, and rebuild what the fire destroyed.
Fire damage restoration
Mold
Mold is common in Raleigh because the city's warm, humid summers keep wet drywall and crawl spaces from drying. Stains or a musty smell are signs it has begun. We track down the moisture, take the mold out, and dry out the space.
Mold remediation
Storm damage
Storm damage is common in Raleigh because hurricanes and tropical storms that move inland bring heavy rain and strong wind to the Triangle. Wind brings limbs down through roofs, and the rain follows. We stop the leak, dry the damp rooms, and fix the storm damage.
Storm damage repair
Commercial
Raleigh's apartment buildings, restaurants, and offices in Glenwood South, Cameron Village, and North Hills share ceilings and plumbing, so one leak can reach a neighbor. Pump-out, drying, and repairs are covered by our own crew.
Commercial restoration
Reconstruction
What we remove during dry-out is put back once the area is dry. The same crew handles the repairs and matches the paint. You will not bring in another contractor.

Our 3-Step Damage Restoration Process
Every job follows our three-step damage restoration process.
Stop it
When we arrive, we walk through the damage with you and explain what we find. Then we stop it from spreading and take photos for your insurance.
Dry it
We dry out the walls, floors, and air, and take moisture readings to make sure it worked. Then we clean and sanitize the area.
Rebuild it
We repair or replace what had to come out, like drywall, flooring, and cabinets. You won't need to hire a second contractor.
While you wait
- Stay safe. Keep out of standing water near outlets and out of smoky rooms.
- Take photos of the damage before anything is moved or thrown out.
- Move valuables, papers, and medicine to a dry room.

Dry it fast

Closets
UGA Extension lists poorly ventilated closets as a common cause of moisture problems and suggests removing at least one-third of the clutter. Closets in Raleigh's humid summers need that airflow, from Cameron Village to North Hills

How fast can you get to my property in Raleigh?
We can be at your door within 40 minutes. Call us at (919) 944-4529 and tell us what you see.
Do you repair storm and hurricane damage in Raleigh?
Yes. Our crew stops the leak, dries the rooms, and rebuilds what the storm broke. One crew handles the drying and the rebuild.
Does Raleigh's humidity make mold more likely after a leak?
Usually, yes. Humid air slows drying, so wet drywall and wood stay damp longer. We dry the space, take moisture readings, and treat any mold.
Can mold grow in a closet or crawl space?
Yes. Mold grows where air is warm, damp, and still, and closets and crawl spaces get little air. A musty smell or dark spots are the usual signs. Call and describe what you are seeing.
