We offer free on-site inspections and estimates. What does this mean?

We come on-site to inspect a project before we can estimate accurately. This gives us an opportunity to meet with our clients, set expectations, explain our process and answer questions before any work is performed. We want project scope and cost to be accurate and fair to all parties.

We guarantee our work. What does this mean?

We set realistic expectations and outcomes based on experience and training. If we set an expectation, we meet it or try to exceed it. If we make a promise, we follow through. If we make a mistake, we fix it. It's that simple.

If my house or business floods, can't I just take care of it myself?

Time is of the essence when you are dealing with unwanted water in your home or business. For the untrained first-timer, there is little time for overcoming mistakes that will more frequently end up costing more money in the end. Knowing what material is wet and needs to be removed and what material is dry or can be dried in place takes specialized training and equipment.

My house or business flooded, and my insurance company wants me to use one of their approved contractors. Will this be a problem if I don't use their contractor?

You have the right to choose your contractor. Team Newman uses the same billings software and standards as most insurance companies. We work directly with your insurance company to reach an agreement.

No, this is a conflict of interest. It is important that a third party testing/reporting company provides a remediation plan to the remediation company to avoid any question of controversy. We set high ethical standards and pride ourselves in doing right, even when no one is watching.

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

It's recommended carpet is cleaned once per year by an IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration Certification) certified firm. Clean carpet doesn't just look good - it promotes indoor air quality, reduces health risks and extends the carpeting's life as well. Special conditions may call for more-frequent cleaning.

How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?

NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) suggests cleaning your ducts every 3 to 5 years. There are many reasons and contributing factors to consider. For example; if you have pets, moving into a new home, after building a new home or living close to a development where new homes are being built, or if residents experience allergic reactions in the home.

Flood Water Removal Process

Water removal needs to start as soon as water begins pooling in your home. Even before your shoes are wet, a home can reach the point of needing professional water extraction to save saturated walls, floors, beams, or furniture. When there is a plumbing leak, your walls are the most likely to get damaged. When there is flooding, carpets are the most affected and often need to be replaced. Water removal and extraction may become necessary as a result of harsh weather, roof leaks, or damaged pipes inside the house walls. If any part of your home becomes fully saturated, its integrity is compromised, and mold spores may find a home. These risks for mold spores are why immediate water removal, water extraction, and advanced drying are necessary.

How to Prepare for Water Removal Services

After your call to Newman Restoration & Cleaning for water removal services, you may wonder how to prepare for the team's arrival. Our water removal teams are prepared to go into spaces where disaster has struck without assistance, but you can do a few things to make the process faster and safer. Remember: only do these things if you can do them safely.

Disconnect Utilities from the Home/Area: If you haven't already, locate the shut-off for your power, water, and gas and turn them off. Switch off the breaker for any area of the house that has flooded to prevent shorts and electrocution.
Take Photos of the Flood Damage for Insurance: Take photographs of the actual damage from as many angles as is safe. Your insurance company will want to see the aftermath. Then, keep taking photos as you pull out items and drain the water. Match pictures of the ruined items with recent photos and receipts of the same items or areas before the damage.
Clear or Create a Safe Path: Make sure it is safe to reach the damaged area. If there has been major flooding, creating a safe path for your family and your water removal service may be necessary. Additionally, if you are unsure how to wait for your water removal experts to arrive.
Remove Important Items and Begin Drying: If it is safe, you can start pulling out important items like furniture so that they stop taking water damage and can begin drying. If the water damage is not flooding, you can use fans to dry the room.

When To Call a Professional Water Extraction Service

Water extraction is important to prevent mold from growing in your home – under the carpet or behind your drywall – after a major leak or flood. Mold spores are always in the air, and any saturated material can start a colony. Serious flooding that leaves your shoes wet and damages furniture is even more dangerous, as standing water can become the breeding ground for smaller life forms. Immediate water removal services, followed by water extraction, can help restore as much of your home as possible.
