Excellent job all around. Carlos has gone above and beyond. This was a tricky job involving a flooded basement with no obvious source, and my son, who is a new home owner, asked me to help. I found Water Damage DMV on yelp. They answered immediately, came promptly, figured out the problem, worked with the insurance company, and they are helping now with the re-build. Their prices are reasonable and they were very polite and patient throughout. Thank you Carlos! Paula Monks read more

Carlos is great, he came out same day to quickly help remedy our water issue and was back within a few hours with the necessary equipment.

Carlos came out and immediately put our minds at ease. Very pleased with the water damage mitigation and the professionalism and courtesy of Water Damage DMV. read more

Every person we worked with at Water Damage DMV was kind, helpful, and went above and beyond! Ari jumped in and helped us carry heavy, wet boxes with important family momentos up from the basement. Many years ago, we had a terrible experience with a different water damage company. We are so grateful to have Water Damage DMV's number for any future needs. read more

We recently had a water heater burst in the unit above us, flooding our organization over a weekend. I made it clear from the start that we only had a 10 day window for demolition and repairs and the company sprung into action, completing it in 9 days. As a former hotelier, I have dealt with many companies that do this work and I've never seen a harder working, more competent group of men. Carlos did the demolition with precision and Jayme and his crew replaced and painted with the same professionalism. They returned the proper as good as new on time. They were a pleasure to deal with. 6 stars read more

Called with a water damage emergency. Carlos came to complete the work of setting up equipment, cutting out drywall, and removing the necessary flooring. They explained everything well and were great at not questioning me on how they were going to get paid. They are working directly with the contractors insurance company. Documented everything pretty well too! Plus he cleaned up the mess! read more

Had minor water damage in basement of new house and Ari was quick to call to give a thorough review of the situation and advised on next steps/preventative measures. Clearly very thorough and good at their jobs! wouldn't hesitate to use them in major water damage situation. 10/10 read more

Just got off the phone with Ari. Their company does not provide the service our home requires but even still, he was gracious enough to provide me with another contractor who might and still provided me with valuable information. Generous with his time and even offered to a bit of guidance if needed in the future. I would have no problems dealing with this company in the future and wish I found them earlier in our process. read more

Date of water incident: Tuesday, 11.9.2021 8:00pm Fans removed from home: Wednesday, 11.17.2021 Date of me starting this review: Tuesday, 11.23.2021 I want you to have those dates, as I give you the details of this incident and how Water Damage DMV handled it. My home became flooded with sewer water, we didn't realize it until our neighbor told my husband. Come to find out every connected townhome was affected. Our neighbor called Water Damage DMV and they came to his home. Out of the 5 neighbors who were affected, 4 of us used Water Damage DMV to remove the water and clean. How the process works: After you sign a form electronically with your CC on file, they begin the work. (They charge an extra 3% if you pay with CC). They move/toss your furniture, take pics of the damage, remove the water, then remove all affected flooring + drywall. In our case, all of our flooring had to be removed + 2 feet of drywall from the floor up. They then put fans and a dehumidifier in the area to dry out the moisture, this takes some time. They come back every few days to clean/disinfect to make sure there's no mold + check the moisture level. We didn't have a lot of visible water in our home, but it all still needed to be ripped up. Here's the problem for homeowners: Sewer water damage is an addition to your homeowner's policy, so make sure you add that. It was removed from all policies a few years ago. Here's the problem with the company: Lack of transparency, which made them look really sketchy. They never told us how much everything would cost until our insurance agent told my husband and I to get an estimate, which was about 4 days into the drying process. For us the estimate was $3500-$6000. The company also does complete restoration work and wouldn't give us an estimate of the costs in writing. One of the guys told my husband $14-$25K, but that was after my husband had to ask numerous times. It has now been 6 days since the fans were removed and the company still hasn't told us how much the water removal portion would cost. They continuously emphasized how they speak directly to insurance, but what if people aren't covered through their insurance. Since the county has been involved in this process, they also stated that it was sketchy that we haven't received a final bill for the water removal and they are likely writing up 2 different prices (1 for if we get them to do the renovation work and 1 for if we don't). The lack of transparency is disgusting considering people are already stressed because their home has been turned upside down. Payment: A few days after Thanksgiving Wali called me asking for payment to which I replied "I need a bill to make a payment". They were consistently telling us "this is an estimate, not a final bill" every time we wanted to know how much the service cost, then randomly called me at 3pm asking for payment. That same evening I heard and saw someone fiddling with items in the back of their pick-up truck around 7pm, come to find out it was Wali. I assume he just finished working on the neighbor's home. My husband comes home around 7:30pm and Wali asks my husband about payment AGAIN after I just told him he needed to send a final bill 4 hrs earlier. Wali had the audacity to follow my husband to the door and knock on the door requesting payment as if we had been avoiding them. I was pissed because it was night time and it was disrespectful. After you pay, make sure you request a receipt to show that you paid in full because they don't give it to you automatically. read more

Recently our basement flooded and we reached out to Water Damage DMV for help. Carlos was incredible!! He quickly came and started the mitigation and acted on our behalf with our insurance company (which was less than helpful). He was kind, prompt, efficient, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and precise. He and Ari helped us navigate with the insurance company. They are an honest good company and lucky to have them on our team. read more

Called out of the blue and Ari gave me excellent advice about how to move forward with my condo project. Super communicative, explained well and easy to talk to read more

Carlos was here the same day to setup the remediation and prevent our home from even further damage. They quickly worked to ensure all the damage was assessed, had a familiarity with our insurance company so the estimate came in approved, and were clean and courteous the entire time. read more

Called these guys today. Came home to a flooded kitchen and part of the basement. Spoke to Ari and he was able to come look an hour later. He should me exactly what needed for be done and how to secure everything. I offered to pay for his trip but he didn't charge. Very professional. Would recommend to anyone needed water damage service read more

After a fire plus the water from extinguishing, I looked for a company that could come in and immediately address remediation and cover broken windows. When I saw the previous reviews, I felt comfortable calling WDDMV to discuss them potentially handling the initial work. I had a great and informative initial conversation with Ari--he is very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain their process. Once I confirmed that I wanted them to do the initial work, Carlos arrived on scene within a couple of hours to assess everything in person. The smoke and soot damage were worse than the fire, and Carlos was absolutely right with his initial assessment that my insurance company would determine that all of the drywall and flooring would need to be replaced. Once additional staff arrived, they immediately got to work boarding up windows to protect from further damage and intrusion. This was a terrible situation, but Carlos and Ari were extremely helpful at every turn. They are very professional and communicated what would happen every step of the way. I highly recommend contacting them for any damage remediation services due to fire, flood etc. read more

I hired this company through Yelp and I'm so happy that I did! The owner, Farrid, gave me an estimate the same day of me initially contacting him. We came upon an agreement and within a few hours, Carlos came out with his crew to start the job. He and his crew members were so polite and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Carlos took before and after pictures, and documented everything needed for our adjuster. He also moved our belongings from the basement into our garage, and started the mitigation process right away! I highly recommend using this company, you won't be disappointed!! read more

These guys are great. Wali showed up with his crew and did an excellent job remediating 2 floors of damage. They were patient and informative. I would definitely recommend their services and use them again if needed. read more

I hired this company to clean the ducts in my condo in Washington DC. I agreed on their pricing and all was scheduled according to plan. However, when the technician arrived he pressured my tenant for additional services and made false claims about the needed services that resulted in my tenant paying for unnecessary services. High pressure and dishonest is the best way to categorize this service. Also, not accepting credit card payments and requesting cash was a little suspicious. Caveat Emptor.... read more

Our stack pipe cracked and we ended up with a basement full of water. Water Damage DMV was able to come right away and dry us out asap. They were very accommodating to my crazy schedule, were reliable and trustworthy. They were willing to work with our insurance. Even better, they identified a related, dangerous problem in our basement. I'm very glad I found them and I highly recommend them. read more

Great company. They are fast and do what needs to be done. Sam is great with customers and would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs any sort of restoration done. read more

A leak from the water heater got underneath our vinyl plank flooring in the basement. I first spoke with Ari, who was helpful in providing information and getting the ball rolling right away to get things drying out. From there, I dealt mainly with Carlos on the water mitigation end of things. Carlos was great; extremely responsive to all communication and willing to show up to address any concerns. Also a genuinely nice guy who was a pleasure to deal with on all fronts. As far as the repair/rebuild portion, I have been in touch with Amir (also very responsive and friendly) who is coordinating the subcontractors on that aspect of the job. Will plan to update the review once repairs are complete. read more

I was referred to this company by a friend and I'm so happy gnash they did! I received a fair estimate and was able to have a crew on site faster than I expected. So thankful for Carlos and everyone at Water Damage DMV for being so professional and doing a great job. read more

I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs remediation work. We had a leak in the bathroom that resulted in a lot of walls and ceilings being removed.

Easy to work with, did an excellent job, were extremely professional, and provided exceptional customer service. They also handled everything with my insurance company which made this nice and easy! I would definitely call them again if needed. read more

Water Damage DMV are life savers! I had an awful dishwasher leak that damaged the floors and cabinets next to the dishwasher. Carlos and his crew were amazing! They were able to come sooner than I expected. They were very nice and helped walk us through the whole process. They were also able to take out the granite countertop in one piece. (Phew!!) so happy will definitely use them again! read more

My brother and I bought a new home and unfortunately, we had the Washer machine installed improperly which led to the water damaging most of our hardwood floor on the main level. Carlos was amazing. He went over with us step by step on how the procedure would be assessed and handled. He was straightforward about everything and any questions we had he answered with no problem. That same day they started the job and finished it in a timely matter. The whole crew was polite, and professional about how they approached everything! We recommend their services, hopefully I never have to use them again but if I do, I will surely be calling them. read more

The waterline to our refrigerator ruptured and flooded our basement. They responded quickly and did an efficient job cleaning it up. They were careful since it's our kids play area. They were extremely methodical about checking the moisture levels and had the dryers in place until they were done. Removal of everything was fast and professional. Would use for future work and recommend to my neighbors. read more

These guys are awesome - special shout out to Carlos, he was an absolute lifesaver. We had an entire basement flood of 1-4 inches of water after our sum pump went out. Our basement was also FULL of stuff, most of it in cardboard boxes. We had used servpro in the past but weren't happy so we decided to go with these guys. The teams that the company sent varied day by day but Carlos would come most times and spent a ton of time talking to us and going through what we could do to save us money here and there. Amir came out when our insurance agent came too and spent a bunch of time talking with him on damage and cost. But back to Carlos - seriously, this guy was the best. We were totally overwhelmed with moving the stuff out of the basement that was destroyed. I don't think its in his job description and maybe he just took pity on us but he went through and took everything we had marked, and even hauled it from the property. I'm talking boxes of old books, clothes, furniture etc. Everything that wasn't marked he and the team moved around to dry or air out in case we could save it. This was a HUGE job! While they were running the fans for a couple days our very old breaker also flipped and shut off our heat - after unsuccessfully trying to reset it we thought we would just have to have an electrician out. When Carlos came he actually helped me figure out what was going on with the breaker and then made sure to distribute the fans differently so it didn't overload our crappy electrical. Eventually, we had to have some of the drywall cut out to prevent mold. He and the team sprayed everything down, saved as much of our house as they could, were totally diligent with the clean up process, and saved our sanity(!!!). They went above and beyond - seriously. Worth every penny. All in all it took around 2-3 weeks for everything to completely dry out. They were fantastic. Also - for the women out there, it's worth noting that some repair guys can be creepy. This team was SUPER professional and never made us feel uncomfortable and they were in and out of the house a lot. read more

Carlos from Water Damage DMV was phenomenal.  He came quickly when our basement flooded, removed all affected carpet, drywall, and baseboards, and disinfected the basement.  He uses the same software that insurance companies use, so when he sent the invoice to our insurance company they could process the claim quickly.  Highly recommend him! read more

I had a busted pipe in my bathroom that leaked down into our kitchen and living room. I called these guys to clean up the water damage since they were the closest company to our house in Fairfax VA. They worked with our insurance company, but kept us in the look during the entire restoration process. Thank god they were able to make it out so fast, we didn't have to worry about any of the flooding causing mold growth. They extracted the water and set up fans. The fans were a bit a little larger than I had thought, but it was okay. I'm glad with the results and would work with them again (but I hope we never have another flood!) read more

Water Damage DMV is the best! Carlos came out to look at the damage in my house a water pipe in my bathroom had caused. To have someone come out and take a look was no charge.

I would highly recommend them, and would totally use them again if i experience anything similar again!. Honest, hardworking crew! read more

When our basement flooded, Water Damage DMV sent someone out to help us within 2 hours of calling and worked with our insurance. Ari was very helpful over the phone and Carlos came out a few days in a row to remediate the damage. Carlos moved our furniture and stripped our floors; he even went so far as to wrap the larger pieces of furniture we couldn't move in plastic. Carlos brought fans and dehumidifiers that ran in the basement for a few days to dry it out and he took them away once the basement was dry. Carlos was great to work with and communicated with us regularly. Thanks, Ari and Carlos, for your hard work fixing our basement! read more
