Should I call my insurance provider?
If a storm or other calamity flooded your home, insurance companies generally prefer that you contact us before them. So if your basement, house, or business has a flood, contact our Emergency Response Hotline and we will get our trucks to your location as fast as possible, perform an inspection, and with your permission, start removing the water from the property. Along the way, we will work with your insurance company to make a claim. We’ll also work with the insurance company’s adjuster.
What is the water damage remediation process?
The first step is to extract all water from the affected area(s). Once all water is removed, our technicians use state-of-the-art dehumidifiers and other tools to dry up any residual water and moisture to help combat the potential for mold growth. The timeframe for this step is never concrete, as it really depends on the extent of the water found on the premises. After the drying stage, moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras are used to ensure that the area is truly dry. We take this extra step to give you peace of mind that you won’t have to worry about mold developing down the line. In some cases, we may have to remove affected drywall, deep-clean carpets and furniture, repair flooring, clean out your HVAC ducts, or remove mold that we have discovered.
How long will this water restoration process take?
There are two phases in the water damage restoration process. In the first phase, we perform any demolition, cleaning, and drying tasks needed to proceed. Generally, this phase takes three or four days, though it might take longer if there is significant damage. The second phase of the project includes repairs and fluctuates depending on the extent of the damage. We’ve performed restorations in which the second phase lasted a few days and others where it lasted for weeks, but we’ll be sure to communicate with you.
Is your water cleanup company certified?
The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) closely monitors the standards Protech Restoration follows when performing a cleanup or water restoration project. One of the reasons you can trust us is that we follow the IICRC’s stipulation that experienced and trained professionals deliver all restoration projects. We understand the IICRC’s standards and work hard to apply them in each case.

Manny and his crew were absolutely outstanding! I had a pipe burst in the kitchen and once my plumber got me his name, he was out within the hour to assess. Between thoroughly drying (taking readings to ensure dryness) EVERYTHING and carefully replacing everything that was taken off (drywall, cabinets, etc), these guys were thorough, communicative, careful, and, best of all, quick! Thanks for everything!

“I would like to recognize Mike. He came out a couple weeks ago and he was awesome. He removed my tiles and he did a really professional job. I think his son was with him but I'm not sure but today Daniel came out. Daniel was very prompt and he notified me when he would come. He did a great job. I used a different company for a different project I like Protech much better. They are more honest and they genuinely wanted to do a good job whereas this other company saw me as a dollar sign.”
- KAREN C.
ProTech was great to work with and very transparent about everything they needed to do to restore my basement after a flood. They worked with my insurance company and made everything easy to get my basement back to normal. I hope I don't have to call them again, but if I do, it will be without hesitation. A+!

- ZHOUBO L.
Our plumber recommended ProTech Commercial Services to assist in cleaning up damage caused by a broken water line. Eric Noonan and his team did an outstanding job of addressing the damaged area to minimize further possible damage to hardwood floors and mold. ProTech/Eric were courteous, professional and communicated with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend their services.
