Did you know the wrong cleanup after a leak or flood can cost you more than the damage itself???

DIY cleanup or unqualified contractors can unintentionally make damage worse and leave you responsible for costs that insurance may not cover.

Hiring a qualified, licensed mitigation company is one of the most important decisions a homeowner can make.

Burst Pipes, basement flooding and storm damage often involve contaminated water, hidden moisture, and conditions that can lead to mold growth within 24–48 hours. A professional mitigation company has the training and equipment to safely dry your home, prevent further damage, and protect your family’s health.

Just as important, insurance companies expect emergency cleanup to be done correctly. Proper documentation, moisture readings, and industry-standard procedures help protect your claim and prevent denials or reduced payouts. DIY cleanup or unqualified contractors can unintentionally make damage worse and leave you responsible for costs that insurance may not cover.

During emergencies, licensed mitigation companies also follow consumer protection laws and emergency pricing rules, helping protect homeowners from scams, inflated charges, and incomplete work.

In short: professional mitigation protects your health, your home, and your insurance coverage—when it matters most.

I’m the owner of Refined Restoration, a woman-owned, local restoration company serving Greece, Irondequoit, Pittsford, Webster, and all of Monroe County. I grew up in the trades and built my company around doing things the right way—licensed, science-based, and no scare tactics.

We specialize in mold removal, water damage restoration, flooded basements, structural drying, construction containment, carpet cleaning, and air duct cleaning. We are a New York State Licensed Mold Contractor, and I’m big on education, clear communication, and protecting both your home and your health.

If you ever have questions about mold, moisture, leaks, or indoor air quality—even if you’re just not sure—feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help or point you in the right direction.

Proud to be part of this community 💙
