When disaster strikes,
don't guess.
Turn panic into action in under a minute. We algorithmically rank the highest-rated, credential-verified restoration professionals in your city.
Real companies. Real reviews. Real coverage.
How our ranking works
We don't accept payment for rankings. Our algorithm evaluates companies purely on merit and what matters most to you.
1. Verified Credentials
We check licenses, insurance, and specialized certifications (like IICRC) to ensure you're working with true professionals.
2. Authentic Reviews
Our system weighs both the overall rating and the total volume of reviews to filter out unreliable or inexperienced contractors.
3. Red-Flag Screening
We cross-check Yelp and the Better Business Bureau for warning signs. A pattern of complaints lowers a company's rank, no matter how good its ads look.
Every kind of damage, covered
Restoration is not one trade. We rank pros by the specific services they actually perform.

Water damage has a 24 to 48 hour deadline before mold enters the picture. An unqualified contractor who dries only what is visible leaves moisture in your walls, weakens your insurance claim, and turns a covered loss into an out-of-pocket rebuild.
- Incomplete drying leads to hidden mold your insurer may not cover
- Missing documentation can sink an otherwise valid claim
- Uninsured crews expose you to liability and liens
