Property Restoration Services in Salem
Water, fire, mold, and storm damage, for homes and businesses. Our Salem team handles the cleanup and the rebuild.
Not sure what kind of damage you have? Call (541) 600-5471 and describe it.
Water damage
Water damage is common in Salem because long wet winters and heavy rain soak roofs, crawl spaces, and walls across the Willamette Valley. A slow leak can run behind a wall unseen. We clear out all the water, dry the framing, and repair the drywall.
Water damage restoration
Fire and smoke
Cooking fires and electrical faults fill Salem homes in West Salem, South Salem, and Keizer with smoke and soot residue, and wildfire smoke drifts into the valley in summer. We remove the soot from every surface, deodorize the rooms, and rebuild what the fire destroyed.
Fire damage restoration
Mold
Mold is common in Salem because the Willamette Valley's wet, mild winters keep drywall and crawl spaces damp for months. A musty smell or dark spots mean it has started. We track down the leak, cut out the moldy material, and dry the affected rooms.
Mold remediation
Storm damage
Storm damage is common in Salem because winter storms bring heavy rain, wind, and the occasional ice storm to the valley. Wind brings limbs down through roofs, and the rain follows. We stop the water coming in, dry the damp rooms, and fix the storm damage.
Storm damage repair
Commercial
Salem's offices, apartment buildings, and restaurants downtown and near the Capitol are tied together by shared pipes and ceilings, so a single leak can reach the next unit. The dry-out, cleanup, and rebuild are one job for us.
Commercial restoration
Reconstruction
The drywall, flooring, and trim we pull goes back in after the drying is done. Our own crew does the rebuild and the paint is matched. You never bring in another contractor.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real Salem jobs
- Paul Lee Salem, OR ★★★★★
“Excellent service from A1 for water damage evaluation and mold treatment. Kevin was extremely professional, made a prompt appoint, and on time throughout the service. Spoke with two other companies that were unprofessional. Don't waste your time and go with A1 Restoration. Removed portion of the ceiling, HVAC vacuumed, sealed off the area, antimicrobial agent applied and encapsulated area, ran dryers and air movers for two days. Fair fees. Highly recommend.”

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.

Wildfire smoke
The EPA rates air as unhealthy for sensitive groups when the index runs from 101 to 150. Smoke that settles over Keizer, West Salem, or Turner can leave soot and odor in a house, and we clean it. Reach our crew at any time of day or night, and describe what happened.

Drying range
UGA Extension says to use dehumidifiers and fans to bring relative humidity down to 30-50% when drying after cleanup. After a wet winter leak in South Salem, Silverton, or Stayton, that is the range to aim for. Describe what you see on the phone, and we will walk you through the next step.

Do you work directly with insurance carriers in Salem?
Yes. We work with all major carriers. The adjuster hears from us with our photos and moisture readings, plus the estimate. Coverage depends on your policy.
Do you handle commercial properties as well as homes in Salem?
Yes. We restore offices, shops, restaurants, and apartment complexes when water, smoke, mold, or wind hits. We review the plan with the owner or manager first. A single crew takes care of the drying and the repairs.
How fast can you get to my property in Salem?
We can be at your door within 40 minutes. Dial (541) 600-5471 and tell us where you are.
Can you clean smoke odor from wildfire smoke in Salem?
Yes. Smoke settles on walls, ceilings, and belongings as soot and a strong smell. Our crew cleans what it can, treats the odor, and repairs smoke damage
Does a wet Salem winter make mold more likely?
Usually, yes. Damp air keeps wet drywall and framing from drying, so mold has more time to start. We dry the area, take moisture readings, and take out any mold we find.
Do you repair roof leak damage from winter storms?
Yes. We stop the leak, dry the soaked rooms, and rebuild the damaged ceilings and walls. You deal with one crew from the leak to the final repair.
