"AMS is our HERO. The city sewer backed up and filled one third of our basement just before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday. By halftime George had arrived. He calmly assessed the situation, and set up a time to return the following morning. His workers were polite, professional, and meticulous, and did an unbelievable job of cleaning up a horrible mess. By the end of the day the damaged items, sewage , and much of the smell was gone. Huge fans and a germ-killing ionizer ran for three days. When they were finished the floor was bone dry and absolutely clean. It occurred to us that the floor could not have been better cleaned if it were being prepped for painting. So we will be doing so. AMS has innate integrity and a wealth of knowledge across a wide spectrum. Any project can be entrusted to their competent hands. Chester and Jean Lehmann"

"These guys were hired by my landlord for a lead paint remediation job and they were TERRIBLE. They didn’t follow ANY of the EPA’s procedures for the RRP rule, OR any of NJ’s rules for abatement. They didn’t give me the required paperwork, they didn’t properly confine the work space, they didn’t cover or protect my personal items, they didn’t tell me to turn off my HVAC unit, they didn’t even keep me out of the work space!!! They dry scraped. They didn’t clean properly. They didn’t do a clearance when they were done. When they came back to do dust wipe sampling to show that the house was lead safe in order to pass inspection for the town, the guy collecting the sample didn’t FOLLOW any of the correct procedures to get a good sample. He didn’t wear gloves. He didn’t mask of the area he was taking the sample from. He did everything wrong. When I confronted him, he said he would have to “double check” to see if I was right. He doesn’t need to. I am. These guys are total frauds and are akin to waste disposal companies dumping toxic waste in the ocean just to get rid of it. God sees your sins."

We’re Jim and Mike Allen, brothers and co-owners of TermiGuard Services and Fenwick Building & Renovation. With our 50+ years of combined experience, we can promise you that you're in good hands. One of the biggest challenges we face as homeowners is finding the right contractor to deal with issues which arise – one who has the requisite knowledge, skills, and experience. A contractor who will answer your calls and then do what they say they’d do, when they said they would. A contractor you can trust, and who will actually give you a no-nonsense warranty on his/her work. We’ve built TermiGuard Services & Fenwick to be effectively different from the rest – embracing and living the principles and values we grew up with – treating people the way we’d want to be treated. And frankly, we’re tired of how so many other companies treat customer service as unimportant and how they take customers for granted. As consumers ourselves, we’ve felt the pain from the evident lack of caring and regard for the concept of old-fashioned, customer-centered service. To that end, we offer you a family of home services including, real estate repairs, pest, termite & wildlife control, water intrusion inspections, mold treatment, waterproofing, structural & foundation repairs, property & water damage restoration, and crawl space encapsulation services – to name just a few… Bottom line – we’re first aid for your home or building, and we’re dedicated to providing you healthier living…

Dry rot, water or pest damage major repairs FAQs

It's impossible to prevent every instance of water damage, especially from extreme weather or river flooding. However, you can take steps to minimize the risk:

  • Inspect appliances and plumbing fixtures monthly for leaks and related issues. Ensure hoses are free from drips, and check the sealing around tubs and showers, caulking if necessary.

  • Hire a pro to inspect your home's plumbing, roof, foundation, and more each year.

  • Improve drainage around your home: Extend downspouts away from the foundation, enhance yard grading, and consider installing a sump pump to reduce flooding risks.

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris and stay on top of cleaning tasks.

  • Install leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves: These devices can alert you to leaks and prevent extensive damage.

  • Winterize your pipes to protect them from freezing temperatures, which can lead to bursting.

Homeowners insurance generally covers water damage from sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or unexpected leaks. It typically doesn't cover damage due to neglect or poor maintenance. A home warranty covers breakages from normal wear and tear on appliances and home systems but doesn't provide structural coverage like homeowners insurance. It's essential to review your specific policy details and contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. Thoroughly documenting the damage with photos and videos can simplify the claims process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.

A water-damaged home can take around five days to dry, though this depends on the damage. As for dedicated cleanups and repairs, it goes in phases, with water extraction taking at least three days and full restoration taking weeks or even months. Replacing drywall, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components can take a few days as well.

After water damage, you may need to replace porous items that have absorbed water and can't be thoroughly dried or sanitized. Materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, wall insulation, drywall, and other absorbent items often require replacement. Water can cause these materials to deteriorate and become breeding grounds for mold, posing health risks. It's important to assess all affected items and consult with a professional to determine what needs to be replaced to restore your home safely.

Detecting mold behind walls can be challenging, but certain signs may indicate its presence. If you notice discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint on your walls, mold could be growing underneath. A persistent musty odor is another strong indicator of hidden mold. Additionally, experiencing unexplained health issues like frequent sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation in specific rooms may signal mold growth. In such cases, it's advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess and address the problem promptly.
