That is why our local team is ready to respond immediately with professional water extraction and structural drying to stop the damage before mold can take hold.
We don’t just pull up the standing water; we use specialized moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden pockets of moisture trapped behind baseboards and under hardwood floors.

We handle everything from sewage backup cleanup to ceiling water damage repair, keeping you informed at every step.

After a major roof leak during a storm, we called this water restoration service. They showed up quickly, prevented further damage, and started the drying process the same day. Very responsive and thorough with the cleanup and repair.

Came home to find my basement flooded after a pipe burst. I called this restoration company, and they were at my house within an hour. They brought all the drying equipment, removed soaked carpet, and treated everything to prevent mold. Really efficient and explained each step along the way.

We called for mold removal after we noticed a musty smell in our basement. The staff found mold under the drywall and got rid of it completely. They were nice to us and did a good job cleaning up after themselves. I strongly recommend their services for getting rid of mold.

I called the company, not knowing that they were located in Massachusetts. Mike and Oscar provided excellent service. Although we were reluctant to cut the walls, his knowledge revealed black mould. Excellent service.

When our sump pump broke and flooded part of the basement, Fargo's Choice Water Damage Restorations came straight away. Their workers showed up on time and immediately began removing shattered items and water. They used industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the area completely and stop mold from growing. They were open and honest with us and worked directly with our insurance adjuster while the repairs were going on. This made things a lot easier for us. The guys did a great job, worked quickly, and wanted to bring our house back to normal as soon as possible.

Their restoration team came straight quickly and got all the water out when my washing machine overflowed. They restored the broken pieces and kept mold from forming. Their skill and speed of work really helped me relax.

When you experience a flood, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do. Micheal, from Lone star, and his staff put us at peace with their professionalism. Michael, who was calm and composed, put me at ease about my concerns that the house was not properly dried. It was good to have someone confident enough in their field take on the task. After reading all the positive comments on Lone star's website, I knew I made the correct choice. Michael and his staff are highly recommended to anyone who is in need for restoration services.

Aaron is wonderful! I had to deal with multiple situations including an insurance claim for water damage on my floors and he went above and beyond to ensure I was completely satisfied with everything. He's truly a professional and knows what he's doing as well as his team. I fully recommend Aaron – he is a wealth of knowledge and has a great team and other contractors that can help with rebuild and painting too (as well as others). Aaron, thank you again for all your help and kindness throughout a very stressful process! You truly made it less stressful and I appreciate all your help!

A slow leak under our kitchen sink turned into serious water damage before we caught it. These guys handled the cleanup and drying process quickly and professionally. They checked for mold and made sure everything was completely dry before they left. Super responsive team.
