Our Process

Five Steps, From the First Call to a Finished Home

1

Call Us

One call starts everything. You call. We answer. Any time of day or night, 365 days a year, a real person at All Things Restored picks up the phone.

You will not navigate a phone tree or wait for a callback window. Within 15 minutes of your call, we have crews mobilizing toward your property.

When you call, we will ask a few quick questions to understand what you are dealing with and make sure we are sending the right equipment. We will also give you clear, immediate guidance on any steps you can safely take before our crew arrives, such as shutting off the water supply or vacating affected rooms.

That 15-minute response is our guarantee. More on that below.

We Dispatch Trucks

Equipped and on the way. Our trucks are stocked and ready to roll, carrying the industrial-grade equipment needed for water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, and mold containment.

When we dispatch, we dispatch ready. Our crew arrives with:

  • Thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture behind walls and under floors

  • Digital moisture meters and hygrometers to measure structural moisture levels

  • Industrial water extraction equipment

  • Commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers

  • Containment materials for mold jobs

  • Board-up and emergency securing materials for fire losses

You will know we are coming and approximately when to expect us. We communicate before we arrive and introduce ourselves when we do. Your home is more than a job site to us.

Damage Assessment

We find everything. We document everything. Our IICRC-certified technicians do a thorough damage assessment before any work begins.

We do not start work until we know the full picture, because treating visible damage while missing hidden moisture or structural compromise leads to bigger problems down the road.

Using thermal imaging and precision moisture meters, we map your loss in detail, identifying:

  • Water migration paths inside walls, floors, and ceilings

  • Hidden pockets of moisture that a standard inspection cannot detect

  • The full extent of smoke and soot penetration after a fire

  • Mold growth behind finished surfaces

  • Any immediate structural or safety concerns

Every finding is photographed and documented. This is part of how we help you with your insurance claim. The quality and completeness of this documentation directly affects how quickly your carrier processes your claim and how much you receive.

Before our technicians leave this first visit, they will give you a plain-language summary of what they found, what needs to happen next, and what to expect in the days ahead. If you have not contacted your insurance carrier, we will advise you on whether to file a claim and exactly what to say when you do.

Mitigation, Remediation, and Restoration

At All Things Restored, we handle all steps of the restoration process, from stopping the damage from spreading (mitigation) to addressing the existing damage (remediation) to returning your property to its original safe and clean condition (restoration). Here is what this looks like depending on what you’re dealing with

‍For water and flood damage:
We extract standing water using industrial-grade equipment, then deploy commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to begin structural drying. Our technicians return daily to take moisture readings, adjust equipment placement, and document progress. We do not pull equipment until your structure reaches IICRC-standard drying levels, verified by instrument, not by feel or guesswork. Any materials that cannot be dried to pre-loss condition, including saturated drywall, flooring, or insulation, are removed and documented for your insurance claim.

‍For fire and smoke damage:
We remove debris, treat all affected surfaces for smoke and soot using dry chemical sponges, HEPA vacuuming, and specialized cleaning agents. We clear HVAC systems to prevent smoke residue from recirculating through your property. Odor is treated at a molecular level using thermal fogging and ozone or hydroxyl generators, eliminating it at the source rather than masking it. Contents are inventoried, and salvageable items are cleaned and documented.

‍For mold:
We establish physical containment barriers and negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading during treatment. Mold-damaged materials are removed and disposed of per regulatory standards. Remaining surfaces are treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials. Before we close containment, we conduct post-remediation air quality testing to confirm that mold levels have returned to normal, safe ranges. You receive documentation of that clearance.Throughout this entire phase, you have one point of contact. We communicate what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how your property is responding. Nothing moves forward to reconstruction until remediation is complete and verified.

5

Your Property Is Fully Restored

We are not done until you are home. The final step is handing your property back to you, fully restored, and making sure you are completely satisfied before we close the job.

Our in-house reconstruction team handles every aspect of putting your property back together, working directly from the remediation documentation so nothing is missed or needs to be re-explained to a second contractor. From drywall and flooring to cabinetry, trim, and paint, our crew completes the work with the same care they would bring to their own homes.

Before we consider the project complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you. We go through every area of work together. If anything is not right, we make it right before we leave.

This is also when your warranty goes into effect. The details of our warranty coverage are outlined in the Restorer's Guarantee section below.
