Damage Restoration Services in Columbus

Every damage restoration service in Columbus starts with a free inspection. These are the calls we get most often, and here's how we handle each one.

Water damage restoration service

Water Damage

A lot of our calls come from flooded basements, sump pumps that quit, and pipes that froze overnight. Student rentals near Ohio State also put plenty of wear on their plumbing. We get the water out, bring in dehumidifiers, and come back every day to check moisture until everything reads dry.

Fire and smoke damage restoration service

Fire and Smoke Damage

Kitchen fires, furnace problems, and space heaters cause plenty of house fires here. Once smoke gets into the ductwork, it ends up in every room. We clean off the soot, get rid of the smell where it starts, and replace anything that can't be saved.

Mold remediation service

Mold Remediation

Damp basements and humid summers make mold a regular problem. We usually find it behind finished basement walls, under carpet, and in bathrooms. We stop the moisture first, then remove the mold and dry the area out.

Storm damage restoration service

Storm and Hail Damage

Severe storms bring wind, hail, and falling trees. Back in 2008, what was left of Hurricane Ike knocked out power all over the city. We dry out the structure, tear out wet materials, and fix the inside.

Commercial restoration service after property damage

Commercial Restoration

A burst pipe in a downtown office or a flooded restaurant in the Short North can shut you down in a hurry. We plan the drying so you can reopen as soon as possible, and we document every step for your insurance company.

Reconstruction and rebuild service after water or fire damage

Reconstruction

After everything dries, we put back what we had to take out. That might be drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, trim, or paint. It's one company from the first call to the last coat of paint.

Leak Damage

In Columbus, a lot of leaks start in old brick homes near downtown, where the plumbing has been patched again and again over the decades. January freezes and sump pumps that fail during a spring storm add plenty more. Our Columbus restoration team tracks down the source, pulls out standing water, dries the wet areas, and fixes the damage before it spreads further.

Mold Removal

Mold likes the damp spots in Columbus homes: finished basements, the space behind drywall, and carpet that got wet and never fully dried. Our team figures out where the moisture is coming from, seals off the area, removes the mold, and cleans everything up. Then we fix the water problem so it doesn't come back.

Sewage Cleanup

Heavy spring rain and older sewer lines can push sewage up through basement drains and into bathrooms and floors. Our team removes the sewage, cleans and disinfects everything it touched, and dries the area. Anything that isn't safe to keep gets hauled out. We work fast so you can get back into your home.

Called after swamp cooler leaks caused a mess in our garage. The crew was respectful of our home, cleaned up after themselves, and worked directly with our insurance adjuster so we didn't have to chase anything down ourselves. Great experience start to finish.

Hiring a restoration company

How to choose a restoration company in Columbus

Restoration companies in Columbus don't all work the same way. Before you sign anything, it's worth asking these five questions.

  • Can a crew come out tonight in Columbus?

    Water and smoke don't stop causing damage just because it's late. With 24/7 emergency restoration in Columbus, you can get help any time, nights, weekends, and holidays included.

  • How soon will someone arrive?

    We move quickly on emergency calls across Columbus. When you call, we'll give you an arrival time so you're not left waiting and guessing.

  • Are the inspection and estimate free?

    Before anyone starts tearing out drywall, you should know what's damaged and what it'll cost to fix. A free inspection and estimate tells you exactly what your Columbus property needs, with nothing to pay upfront.

  • Is the firm IICRC certified?

    IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards for water cleanup, structural drying, and restoration. Ask for the certification details and check them with the IICRC before you hire a restoration company in Columbus.

  • Will the same team handle repairs?

    If one team does both the cleanup and the repairs, there are fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and a lot less for you to manage.

Columbus weather and housing

Common Causes of Water Damage in Columbus

Central Ohio gets four full seasons, and any one of them can bring water into your home.

  • Spring storms

    Heavy spring rain soaks the ground and pushes water through basement walls. Wind and hail tear up roofs.

  • Winter freezes

    A cold snap can freeze pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces. The leak usually starts once they thaw.

  • Sump pump failures

    Lots of homes here depend on a sump pump. Power outages and worn out pumps lead to flooded basements.

  • River flooding

    After a long stretch of rain, the Scioto and Olentangy rivers can rise and flood the low areas nearby.

German Village and Victorian Village have brick homes from the 1800s with old plumbing and stone foundations. Newer suburbs like Dublin and Westerville have finished basements that can hide water damage for a while.

We see these problems across Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, and Licking counties.

Common questions

Columbus Damage Restoration FAQs

What should I do if my Columbus basement floods?

Keep away from any water near outlets or the furnace, and check your sump pump and floor drains. We can pump out the water and dry the space.

Should I call my insurance company or a restoration company first in Columbus?

It's usually best to call a restoration company first so drying can start, then report the damage to your insurer the same day. Our photos and moisture readings from before any work begins help your adjuster review the claim.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Columbus?

Sudden water damage, like a burst pipe or a failed water heater, is often covered. Flooding from outside usually needs a separate flood policy, and sewer backup often needs extra coverage added to your policy. Check with your insurance provider to see what yours includes.

How much does water damage restoration cost in Columbus?

The water damage restoration cost in Columbus comes down to how much of the home was affected, what got wet, and whether repairs are needed after drying. Finished basements are common here and can add to the price. A leak caught early usually costs far less than water that spread through several rooms.

Is the water damage restoration estimate free, and are there any upfront costs?

Both the inspection and the written estimate are free, with no obligation. We walk you through the work and the expected costs, and we talk through any payment details before we start.

Can frozen pipes cause water damage in Columbus?

They can. Pipes in outside walls and crawlspaces freeze during cold snaps and start leaking when they thaw. Shut off the main valve and give us a call.
