"With their assistance my inland wetlands permit application was approved quickly by my town. The work involved installation of drainage and regrading my entire back yard to bring the lawn back up 14" due to erosion over time. The work was done timely. The extra work included a beautiful new rock wall as well as an excellent exterior basement door entryway. The yard has been reseeded once after the initial seeding and will be reseeded again during the fall. The company takes pride in their work! Pricing was fair as well."

"My experience with AdvantaClean of Greater Hartford and its owner, Peter Sheldon, was quite unsatisfactory. I had called their appointment setting service to arrange for a mold inspection of a ranch style home I was looking to purchase after observing wetness and what appeared to be mold on the bedroom ceiling during a walk-through. I was quoted $100 for a visual inspection, no air sampling. I clearly explained the situation and my desire for the attic space to be inspected. Mr. Sheldon arrived approximately 15 minutes late without calling, no big deal. He did not have any means to gain access to the attic - no ladder. I brought a ladder as a back-up, so brought it inside. A visual review of the bedroom was informative as Mr. Sheldon demonstrated knowledge of his business. I then set up the ladder for him to gain access to the attic. This is where things started to go South. Mr. Sheldon barely moved the access cut-out cover and then refused to go any further. He could see from the bottom lip where the access cover rests that the attic insulation was not fiberglass and immediately stated the insulation possibly contained asbestos, or ACM as he said - Absestos Containing Material - likely vermiculite. He then talked extensively about his sensitivity to asbestos and the need for having his blood checked annually. At that point, I put on my respirator, pushed the attic cover out of the way and looked in the attic any signs of mold. Mr. Sheldon did not arrive with a respirator, or even a simple dust mask. Odd considering his stated sensitivities and my specific request to enter the attic. As I was putting the access cover back in place, a small piece of insulation fell to the floor which sent Mr. Sheldon double-timing it down the hallway. After leaving the home, I was opposed to paying Mr. Sheldon the full $100 as he was not willing to even poke his head in the attic. He never got a good look at the attic insulation, never-mind actually inspecting the attic for mold. He felt otherwise, explaining he considered the insulation to be PACM, or Presumed Asbestos Containing Material, and that it should not be disturbed. He even suggested that me poking my head in the attic, though never touching or stepping on the insulation, may have been unethical and could have caused the homeowner a problem. When I stated it seemed clear Mr. Sheldon had health concerns/issues as the reason for his unwillingness to fully perform the services for which he was hired, he about lost it. He got extremely agitated and accused me of lying in front of the real estate agent in attendance and trying to damage his business. I tried walking away to calm the situation but he kept coming forward while making further accusations and attempting to justify his actions. When I tried to speak, he'd talk over me. At one point, I must have said, "Can I speak now?", 5 or 6 times, but he would not stop. Then when I got 3 words out, he'd talk over me again. No composure, could not control himself. Quite a scene in the middle of the street. He clearly felt I should respect his approach and decision not to enter since he's the licensed inspector, that I should be deferential. He even stated that the problem was I was "immature". My feeling was a professional would have come prepared to enter the attic, including a ladder and a quality respirator, especially given Mr. Sheldon's stated sensitivity to asbestos. I went back the following day to gather a sample of the insulation to bring to a laboratory for testing. The lab confirmed the material was cellulose, completely non-hazardous. I'm sure if Mr. Sheldon had gotten a full view of the material, he would have recognized it to be blown-in cellulose. A week later, I hired another inspector who entered the attic and quickly found the cause of the mold problem - leaking water lines coming off the air handler, soaking the sheetrock, etc. Perhaps AdvantaClean of Greater Hartford is professional in other scenarios, but if you need a company to enter the attic, you may be better off elsewhere."

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.
