The easiest way to restore your home after an instance of water damage is to get in touch with a local water remediation company like RTC Restoration & Roofing. After a free inspection, our team will locate the source of the water damage, remove damaged items, get rid of excess water, dry out your space, and handle any mold growth.

Yes, it is safe to live in a house after mold remediation as long as the mold is completely removed from the house. Be sure to follow your remediation specialists’ recommendations for our safety.

Water damage in a home can absolutely be fixed. While you may be able to get by with a DIY solution for something minor, if you experience flooding or another major source of water damage, it’s best to call in a team of professionals to make sure it’s been safely and completely cleaned up. RTC Restoration offers thorough water damage restoration services, which could include tearing out carpets, drywall and more to keep chances of mold growth away and ensure your home is structurally-sound moving forward. 

There’s no set timeline as to how long water damage restoration will take, as it depends heavily on the amount of water and extent of damage. Fixing a minor issue like a leaky drainpipe could only require a couple minutes, whereas a serious problem like flood damage could take several weeks or even months to complete. No matter what type of water damage has compromised your home, RTC Restoration offers around-the-clock availability, so even if a pipe bursts in the middle of the night, just give us a call and we’ll get started as soon as possible.

Mold remediation is absolutely necessary if you detect the fungi growing in your home. Mold poses serious risks to both personal health and the structural integrity of your home, which is why it’s important to schedule a mold remediation service when it’s spotted in your basement, attic or anywhere else inside. RTC Restoration takes a comprehensive approach to mold eradication, including isolating the affected areas, dry-out and dehumidification processes, specialized antibacterial treatments, as well as any necessary demolition and reconstruction.

The average lifespan of your roof system will depend on the material. Asphalt shingles will typically last between 20 to 30 years, tile roofs around 50 years, and metal or stone-coated roofs between 40 to 70 years.

Hail can leave roofing systems damaged, but may not require a full roof replacement depending on the extent of the damage. Generally, if there are less than 7 indentations from hail within any 10x10 square foot area, repairs will suffice. If the damage received by your roof exceeds this, then you may be looking at a new roof replacement. RTC Restoration begins our hail damage services with an inspection, so we help our customers decide on the best plan of action for their homes.

If you’re considering a roof replacement project, the best time of year to start is in the Fall. The weather will be the most consistent and dry, making the remodeling process safer and easier. Plus, you’ll have a new and improved roof system ready to go right before the winter weather hits.

The lifespan of your roof depends on the maintenance it receives over the years as well as the material. Asphalt shingles, which are common on many residential homes, typically last between 20—30 years, while tile roofs are known to exceed 100 years if cared for properly. Look for typical signs that your roof is wearing out, like broken shingles, loosened flashing or exposed underlayment, to determine if your roof will likely need replacing soon. RTC Restoration keeps our prices affordable despite utilizing industry-leading materials during our roof replacements, which could include asphalt, metal, tile or stone-coated steel roofing options.
