Frequently Asked Questions

DO I HAVE TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO CLEAN UP THE DAMAGE?

Yes, YELLOW RESTORATION uses specialized equipment to rid a home of water, smoke, mold and lead. If these things are not cleaned and remediated correctly, you could be facing serious health risks and structural damage to your home.

DO I NEED TO FIND A RECONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR TO DO THE REPAIRS AFTER RESTORATION IS DONE?

No, we have a team of qualified, experienced professionals to do the reconstruction.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER A FLOOD OR SEWAGE WATER LEAK?

First, contact YELLOW RESTORATION as soon as possible. Don’t wait. Water can cause mold and irreversible damage to many of the surfaces in your home. If safe, shut off the utilities in your home to avoid further damage. If electricity hasn’t been turned off, don’t walk through floodwater to avoid getting shocked. Plus, you’ll want to avoid any biohazards from sewer backup.

HOW FAST DOES MOLD GROW AFTER WATER DAMAGE?

Mold can start growing within 24-48 hours after water damage.

HOW MUCH DOES AN AVERAGE REMEDIATION COST?

Remediation costs vary, depending on our representative’s assessment of the damage. Estimates are free of charge.

HOW LONG DOES A REMEDIATION TAKE?

Depending on the type and severity of the damage, the timeframe of a remediation can range from 2-7 days.

DO I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME OR CLOSE MY BUSINESS?

Depending on the type mold restoration required—and if property damage is not extensive—you can stay in your home or open your business.

HOW DO I PREVENT MOLD GROWTH?

Preventing mold is all about moisture control. That means sealing water leaks from all areas of your house (gutters, roof, pipes etc.) and appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.). Keep indoor humidity at about 30-50%.

DO I HAVE TO USE THE RESTORATION COMPANY MY INSURANCE COMPANY RECOMMENDS?

No, you may use the restoration company of your choice.

HOW ARE HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE CLAIMS PAID?

Based on the terms of your homeowner’s policy, an insurance adjuster inspects the damage to your home and offers you money for repairs.

DOES INSURANCE COVER LEAKS FROM THE ROOF?

It may cover leaks in your roof that have caused damage. Check your policy.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REMEDIATION AND MITIGATION?

Remediation is best thought of as clean up and disinfection—to reduce or remove contamination from the environment to prevent further contamination. For instance sucking water from a household emergency. Mitigation is refers to measures taken to shore things up to prevent further damage. For instance, putting a tarp on a roof to cover a leaky hole or putting plywood over broken windows until repairs (restoration) can be made.

Mold, mold, mold go away! Just saying it doesn't work. When we realized we had an unhealthy dose of mold, we needed to call a mold specialist. We looked around online and found Yellow Restoration who handled floods, fire, and most importantly for us, mold. When we called in the first time we spoke with John. I explained our situation and even texted him a few pictures of the mold damage. He offered to come out later that afternoon to personally take a look at the damage. After seeing the mold in person, he assured us that it wasn't as bad as we thought and was confident his team could get rid of all of the mold. The price quote he gave us was fair, the staff was friendly, and the timing worked out like clock work. They did a great job and now we have no more mold! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing mold damage removal or any other water damage restoration services.

Yellow Restoration saved us twice now! Last year our home flooded because of a busted water pipe. They were able to clean up all the water and put everything in order. About a month ago we had a grease fire in our kitchen. Once again they exceeded expectations and our new kitchen looks 10 times better than the old one!
