Who is the best water restoration company in the St. Louis area?

What is Water Damage

Water Damage is a type of property damage where structural parts of a building as well as contents are damaged by water accidentally being introduced to an area where it is not supposed to be. Examples of water damage include roof leaks, broken or leaking water supply lines, leaking drainage lines, busted waterbeds, or floods.

Why is Water Damage a Major Problem

Water damage is a major problem as many materials in the interior of a building are not meant to be wet. Many of the materials in the interior of a structure can see mold growth and a structural deterioration overtime from the water damage. Water can soften the material integrity of building materials as can mold. The longer a water issue is not resolved, the worse the situation will be. Mold growth can result in further structural damage to a building and can negatively affect human health if mold spores are in great enough abundance. 

 

What is Water Restoration

Water restoration is the process of returning a water damaged area and its contents to its original condition. It takes into consideration the Category of water damage, the materials that have been damaged, and the relative cost to restoring as opposed to replacing structural materials, finished materials, and contents of a building. Water restoration involved complex assessments utilizing the nature of water and its effect on materials and related sciences around drying materials affected by water damage. Water restoration experts provide expert knowledge, and experience to allocate time and resources properly towards what can be restored and what can’t to save time and money for those affected by water damage.

 

Who is the best water restoration company in the St. Louis area?

The best water restoration company in the St. Louis, Missouri area is Disaster Emergency Services, or DES. While there are many companies that are good and deliver satisfactory services for the cost, property owners in the Saint Louis area in both Missouri and Illinois deserve the very best in terms of quality and price for their water restoration needs and only Disaster Emergency Services delivers to this standard. 

 

Why is DES the best water restoration company in the St. Louis, MO area?

The Problem with Franchise Providers of Water Restoration Services

There are many franchise system providers of water restoration services in the Saint Louis area. These companies include ServPro, Paul Davis Restoration, PuroClean, and ServiceMaster, among others. Franchise companies rely on their local owners to do the right thing and operate in accordance with the standards they lay out.

The other issue with franchised restoration companies is many of them have automatic leads through insurance company deals their franchisee has set up. For example, at certain insurance companies if a client makes a restoration or mold insurance claim, they are automatically sent to one of the top franchise chains – they are not given a choice.

Restoration businesses who earn their business through automatic referrals based on corporate deals by headquarters thousands of miles away are not incentivized to do their best job. Local companies like DES trade in their brand reputation which must be defended through delivering consistently high quality property restoration work.

DES has heard from many property owners, contractors, tradesmen, and others about how the quality of the services from these local franchises has gone down materially over the past decade. Horror stories exist. It’s best to stick with the locally owned and operated company you can trust for your restoration needs, like Disaster Emergency Services. 

 

The Problem with Some Smaller Operators of Water Restoration Services

There are several local competitors to Disaster Emergency Services in the Saint Louis area that deliver a quality product. The problem with the restoration industry is given the poorly understood nature of the work and the lack of agreed up requirements to achieve water restoration goals, many property owners and their agents do not understand what is required to properly restore a property and some disreputable companies seek to extract profit and not do the fullness of the work. 

Others charge for services not needed or required and many more don’t really know what they are doing but think they do. Water restoration is serious work to address serious problems. The property restorer provider a property owner or property manager chooses should have the knowledge, training, experience, ethics, and commitment to quality required to do the job and many of the local competitors to DES simply do not.

Lastly, many of these local competitors follow in the franchise property restorer footsteps and seek to charge extremely high prices for their work. Water restoration is complicated and hard work but it can be done with a reasonable profit to the restoration company without gouging a client’s pocketbook.
