Looking for a professional that will give you an honest price and the best craftsmanship around? Armour Home Improvement is the company for you! Call us today, we look forward to speaking with you (301) 570-8041 or (410) 489-6004! (Please note that we only do complete remodels and not single item projects).

"I selected Armour over other contractors bids for my basement remodel and I am very happy that chose them. During the bidding process they answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly, their proposal was thorough and clear, and they were happy to discuss my ideas, thoughts and concerns. The crew that did the work was fantastic. Those guys are pros. The scope of work included all new framing and drywall (up to code, unlike before they came in), replacing that damn stucco ceiling with new drywall, upgrading the bathroom and kitchenette, new flooring, new basement door and replacing the ancient basement window, plus upgrades to the interior basement stairs and bathroom exhaust fans. Everything passed inspection and I am a happy customer. I would hire Armour again in a heartbeat. Many thanks to Rob, Christina, Rudolfo and everyone who worked on the project."

"Although Norman was the best part of this terrible experience (nice, knowledgeable, and professional), the amount of money ?the office? charged me just to take down a portion of my ceiling (about 10x16) was outrageous. I asked for a quote to fix it only to find out that one was to take it down and one was to put it back. It cost me $3490 for about 4 hours worth of work and in that was $1125 just for an ?air mover? and a dehumidifier. I could have bought a dehumidifier for $189 that covers a 1500sf area at home depot. There is no way I would have paid $9000 for this job to take it down and put it back. No way I should have paid almost $3500 for a few hours of work for a job that was not completed (cause I was not paying another $5k just to hang drywall, finish it off and paint). I got another quote for 1/3 of that and they are going to replace my whole ceiling so it all looks the same. It would have cost me $3800 for the whole thing had I gone with this other company. I will not ever make this mistake again."

Water removal recovery services FAQs

It typically takes around five days for a fully flooded basement to dry out completely, but you’ll want to try to dry it out as fast as possible to minimize the overall damage and potential for mold growth. It also depends on the extent of the flooding. A fully flooded basement will take longer to dry than a partially flooded basement.

To clean up a flooded basement, first have your basement professionally inspected to determine the extent of the damage and stability of the structure. Following the inspection, contact your insurance company. After that, pay for the cost to remove standing water from the basement as soon as possible, which can cost around $1,300 to $5,500. Once the water is removed, you can begin cleaning, drying, and sanitizing.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), most flood insurance policies cover cleanup expenses, including pumping out water, labor, mold treatment, cleaning solutions, and more. Many policies also include building coverage, which covers damages for items connected to a power source or installed in their functioning location. This includes furnaces, water heaters, central ACs, sump pumps, and electrical outlets. It’s essential to check your insurance policy to see what’s covered by your plan.

To prevent basement flooding in heavy rain, you can take precautions using various methods to waterproof your basement. Waterproofing your basement costs around $4,800, but avoiding a flood can save you money and hassle. Whether you need a crack repaired, a sealant applied to your foundation, or pipes and gutters repaired, it’s best to seek a professional basement waterproofing company near you to do the work safely and correctly.
