Property Restoration Services in Kansas City
Water, fire, mold, and storm damage, for homes and businesses. Our Kansas City team handles the cleanup and the rebuild.
Not sure what kind of damage you have? Call (913) 354-6472 and describe it.
Water damage
Water damage is common in Kansas City because heavy spring storms flood basements and winter freezes split pipes in older houses. Water in a basement can ruin drywall, furnaces, and stored belongings. We extract the flood water, dry the structure, and replace what it ruined.
Water damage restoration
Fire and smoke
Space heaters, grease fires, and old wiring cause fires in Kansas City's older houses in Waldo, Brookside, and Independence, and smoke gets into every room. We lift the soot, work on the smell, and restore the burned rooms.
Fire damage restoration
Mold
Mold is common in Kansas City because water in the basement or a leaking pipe leaves drywall and wood framing wet. A musty basement smell or dark spots on the walls mean it has started. We trace the moisture, treat the mold, and dry the structure.
Mold remediation
Storm damage
Storm damage is common in Kansas City because spring thunderstorms bring hail, strong wind, and tornado warnings across the metro. Roofs take the hail, and wind drives rain through the gaps. We stop the water coming in, dry the soaked rooms, and fix the storm damage.
Storm damage repair
Commercial
Kansas City restaurants, offices, and apartment buildings in Westport, the Crossroads, and near the Plaza share ceilings and pipes, so a single leak can reach the next suite. The dry-out, cleanup, and rebuild stay in the same hands.
Commercial restoration
Reconstruction
The drywall, flooring, and trim we pull gets rebuilt when the structure is dry. Our own crew puts it back together with matching paint. You do not bring in someone new halfway through.

Damage We See Most in Kansas City
Basement floods, hard freezes, and older houses drive the calls we get across the Kansas City area.
Water
5 feet
from the foundation, the EPA's general guide for draining rain water
Wet basements
The EPA advises draining rain water away from the house, generally about 5 feet from the foundation. After a spring storm, water that sits against the wall seeps into basements in Waldo, Raytown, and Lee's Summit. The EPA says to stop that seepage quickly. If something looks off, give our crew a call and describe what you are seeing.

How common
One in 67 insured homes files a water damage or freezing claim each year. In Brookside, Overland Park, and Independence, one frozen pipe during a cold snap can be all it takes. Call when you first notice a problem, so we can start before it spreads.

Older homes
Many Kansas City houses in Brookside, Waldo, and Hyde Park are older, with old drain lines and plaster walls. Any rebuild has to fit with the house that is already there. We rebuild the cut areas so the finished rooms match what was there before.
