We are locally owned and operated, insured, bonded, certified, and experienced in emergency and restoration projects of all sizes.

"My experience with AdvantaClean of Greater Hartford and its owner, Peter Sheldon, was quite unsatisfactory. I had called their appointment setting service to arrange for a mold inspection of a ranch style home I was looking to purchase after observing wetness and what appeared to be mold on the bedroom ceiling during a walk-through. I was quoted $100 for a visual inspection, no air sampling. I clearly explained the situation and my desire for the attic space to be inspected. Mr. Sheldon arrived approximately 15 minutes late without calling, no big deal. He did not have any means to gain access to the attic - no ladder. I brought a ladder as a back-up, so brought it inside. A visual review of the bedroom was informative as Mr. Sheldon demonstrated knowledge of his business. I then set up the ladder for him to gain access to the attic. This is where things started to go South. Mr. Sheldon barely moved the access cut-out cover and then refused to go any further. He could see from the bottom lip where the access cover rests that the attic insulation was not fiberglass and immediately stated the insulation possibly contained asbestos, or ACM as he said - Absestos Containing Material - likely vermiculite. He then talked extensively about his sensitivity to asbestos and the need for having his blood checked annually. At that point, I put on my respirator, pushed the attic cover out of the way and looked in the attic any signs of mold. Mr. Sheldon did not arrive with a respirator, or even a simple dust mask. Odd considering his stated sensitivities and my specific request to enter the attic. As I was putting the access cover back in place, a small piece of insulation fell to the floor which sent Mr. Sheldon double-timing it down the hallway. After leaving the home, I was opposed to paying Mr. Sheldon the full $100 as he was not willing to even poke his head in the attic. He never got a good look at the attic insulation, never-mind actually inspecting the attic for mold. He felt otherwise, explaining he considered the insulation to be PACM, or Presumed Asbestos Containing Material, and that it should not be disturbed. He even suggested that me poking my head in the attic, though never touching or stepping on the insulation, may have been unethical and could have caused the homeowner a problem. When I stated it seemed clear Mr. Sheldon had health concerns/issues as the reason for his unwillingness to fully perform the services for which he was hired, he about lost it. He got extremely agitated and accused me of lying in front of the real estate agent in attendance and trying to damage his business. I tried walking away to calm the situation but he kept coming forward while making further accusations and attempting to justify his actions. When I tried to speak, he'd talk over me. At one point, I must have said, "Can I speak now?", 5 or 6 times, but he would not stop. Then when I got 3 words out, he'd talk over me again. No composure, could not control himself. Quite a scene in the middle of the street. He clearly felt I should respect his approach and decision not to enter since he's the licensed inspector, that I should be deferential. He even stated that the problem was I was "immature". My feeling was a professional would have come prepared to enter the attic, including a ladder and a quality respirator, especially given Mr. Sheldon's stated sensitivity to asbestos. I went back the following day to gather a sample of the insulation to bring to a laboratory for testing. The lab confirmed the material was cellulose, completely non-hazardous. I'm sure if Mr. Sheldon had gotten a full view of the material, he would have recognized it to be blown-in cellulose. A week later, I hired another inspector who entered the attic and quickly found the cause of the mold problem - leaking water lines coming off the air handler, soaking the sheetrock, etc. Perhaps AdvantaClean of Greater Hartford is professional in other scenarios, but if you need a company to enter the attic, you may be better off elsewhere."

"I had asked for mineral wool insulation used in my basement, not realizing that the fibers from cutting the mineral wool are irritating to the lungs and skin - my mistake. Hired Ercolano Cleaning and Restoration to vacuum up the fibers and dust in the basement and on the walls - the team arrived on time and did a wonderful job!

Water and smoke damage repairs FAQs

When you find water damage, your first order of business is to keep everyone on the property safe, so if you have standing water, evacuate if it’s safe. If possible, find the source of the water and stop it, which could mean shutting your water main to prevent pipe leaks. Next, you should notify your insurance company and immediately call a water damage restoration professional. They will work with you and your insurance company to create a solution to fix the issue and file an insurance claim for the cost of the damage.

The three methods or phases of water damage remediation are mitigation, remediation, and restoration. Mitigation is an emergency response that can include shutting off your water main or patching a hole in your roof from a fallen tree limb. Remediation includes drying the affected area, removing damaged materials, and dealing with any resulting mold growth. Restoration includes the build-back required to return your property to its previous condition. All three methods should be a part of any water damage remediation plan.

When hiring a water damage restoration company, you should confirm that the remediation plan includes fixing the underlying problem, dealing with resulting mold growth or rotted materials, and any making any build-back necessary to restore your property to its previous condition. Each phase of the remediation plan should include specific testing and inspection details to ensure the work is done properly and in a way that doesn’t prevent the restoration cost from being denied by your insurance provider.

If you find evidence of water damage in your home, your best option is to call a local water damage restoration company immediately. You could call a plumber first if you know that the issue is stemming from a plumbing pipe, but in many cases, a company that specifically handles water damage will be able to find the source of the damage and recommend a specific repair. Water damage restoration pros will also be able to develop a plan to remove any damaged material and restore your home to its previous condition.

The average water damage restoration cost is around $3,500, but it’s not uncommon to see prices fall between $450 and $15,000. Your project cost will depend on the extent of the damage, the source of the water, whether or not mold has grown in the affected area from the moisture, and the emergency level of your water problem. Keep in mind that your insurance company may cover some or all of your restoration expenses if your homeowner’s insurance policy covers the specific issue.
