Fine RestorationFine Restoration4.8 Based on 151 reviews fromTheresa OsredkerTheresa Osredker ★★★★★ These are the guys you want when disaster hits.I can’t say enough about Fine Restoration and their technician Jake Ross. The response on a busy pre-holiday Saturday night was immediate. He showed up with a crew and started in mitigating the water damage. It was serious damage, and they worked a number of days to dry and tear out the damage. I was especially impressed with how the owner and a manager came by to check on us. Jake and his crew cleaned up as they worked; exceptionally clean and neat. Responsive, thorough, coordinated well with others (the plumber and the adjuster), patient answering questions. Very careful with our things. I highly recommend Fine Restoration and Jake Ross as a technician/project manager.Nancy PowellNancy Powell ★★★★★ Fine Restoration responded immediately, within an hour, after they were called for water leaking. Devan was very thorough and professional in explaining the problem and the possible solutions. He followed industry and homeowner's insurance standards to take care of the problem. The company was very careful and respectful in taking care of my property. They were responsive and fixed the problem to my satisfaction.Emily NewcEmily Newc ★★★★★ Brad did a great job! I recommend this company!Gary BrownGary Brown ★★★★★ Fine Restoration did an amazing job helping us restore our house after a flood. All three floors were flooded and after a single call, I had a team of professional experts at our home at 9pm on a Sunday evening. They helped lead us through the process and explain the steps and potential obstacles in rebuilding our house. I highly recommend them. If you are looking for great service, look no further!Anry MoonAnry Moon ★★★★★ When we moved to a new house, we had no idea that we had mold there. At some point, we decided that we wanted to change some furniture, and when we moved it, we found out that the walls were covered in mold. We were looking for some options, but applying all these chemicals was terrifying for us since we have cats and a toddler. But here we found an eco-friendly option that also is safe for little ones.M WM W ★★★★★ I can only say the most positive things about Fine Restoration. I had a water leak in my kitchen that required immediate attention. Not only were they very quick to start my drying out process/rebuild, but they also guided me through the entire process without stress. To me, that’s priceless! Nick and his team really stepped up and my kitchen is absolutely perfect! Thank you again!David AndersonDavid Anderson ★★★★★ I sent an email requesting someone come out and look at a potential leak in my ceiling. Within minutes I received a phone call to schedule the inspection. If my schedule would have allowed, I could have had them out the same day. We scheduled for the next day. They showed up on time, fully prepared, and used a moisture reader rather than a simple eye inspection. They gave me recommendations what to look for and potential issues and to call them if I ran into further issues. Thoroughly pleased with their responsiveness. And the price was right: $0 for the inspection. Highly recommend Fine Restoration for any potential leak issues!Katie BrunsKatie Bruns ★★★★★ The owner came out on 4th of July to rip out damage from sewer backup. They did an excellent job, friendly, made me feel safe in home from mold, and they did a great job each step. Carpet now looks amazing! Fair pricing and very patient while waiting for insurance to finish their stuff.js_loader

Emergency Response: What to Do If Ceiling Is Leaking

A leaking ceiling can be a stressful and potentially damaging situation for any homeowner. Water dripping through the ceiling not only creates an immediate mess but also signals underlying issues that could lead to more severe damage if not addressed promptly. 

Knowing how to respond quickly and effectively can minimize damage and prevent long-term issues such as structural weakening and mold growth. Here’s a guide on what to do if your ceiling is leaking, and how Fine Restoration can help with their expert services and swift emergency response.

Immediate Actions to Take

1. Turn Off the Water Source

If you suspect the leak is due to a plumbing issue, locate and turn off the main water supply to prevent further water flow.

2. Protect Your Belongings

Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leaking area. Place buckets or containers to catch dripping water and reduce damage to your floors.

3. Identify the Leak Source

Examine the leak to determine if it’s coming from a plumbing fixture, roof damage, or an HVAC system. This can help you provide accurate information when you contact a professional.

4. Relieve Ceiling Pressure

If water is pooling in a bulging section of your ceiling, poke a small hole to allow the water to drain. This can prevent the ceiling from collapsing and causing further damage.

5. Turn Off Electricity

Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Turn off electricity to the affected area to avoid any risk of electrical shock or fire.

Call the Experts

Once you’ve taken these initial steps, it’s crucial to call in professionals to properly address the issue. DIY fixes may provide temporary relief but often miss underlying problems that can lead to more severe damage.

Fine Restoration is equipped to handle all types of ceiling leaks, providing prompt and effective solutions to prevent further damage and ensure your home is safe and dry. Our trained technicians use advanced tools and techniques to identify the source of the leak, execute repairs, and implement preventive measures to avoid future issues.

Trusting experts like Fine Restoration ensures comprehensive care, safeguarding your home and giving you peace of mind.

Consider upgrading old plumbing and HVAC systems that are prone to leaks. Investing in modern, efficient systems can save you money in the long run and prevent future water damage. Fine Restoration can help you assess your current systems and recommend the best upgrades for your home.

Improve Attic Insulation and Ventilation

Proper insulation and ventilation in your attic can prevent condensation buildup and reduce the risk of leaks from ice dams or roof damage. Insufficient insulation can lead to temperature imbalances, causing condensation to form and potentially leak through the ceiling. By improving attic insulation and ensuring proper ventilation, you can maintain a balanced attic environment, preventing moisture buildup and subsequent leaks.

Fine Restoration’s preventive maintenance services include thorough inspections and professional advice on system upgrades and insulation improvements. Our goal is to help you maintain a leak-free home, ensuring peace of mind and long-term protection for your property.
