Water Damage Restoration FAQs

  • How much does water damage restoration typically cost?

    The cost of water damage restoration can vary significantly based on the extent and severity of the damage.

  • What is water damage?

    When water enters a home or business, professional water damage restoration may be necessary. This process involves removing excess water, thoroughly drying and cleaning the structure and contents, and restoring the property to its pre-damage condition. 


    Certified technicians use standard methods and specialized equipment to ensure the job is done correctly

  • Can you help me with mystery issues?

    Yes, we can! Our team has extensive experience in identifying and addressing a wide range of unexpected or unclear issues. Using specialized tools and techniques, we’ll help you uncover potential problems and guide you toward the right solution

  • What makes Anthony Restoration way so special?

    When water damage occurs, it impacts more than just the structure of your home—it affects your personal belongings, livelihoods, and daily life. Furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other items may be damaged, and your routine can be disrupted. 


    At Anthony Restoration, we are here to help restore both your property and your peace of mind.

  • How do I keep track of non-restorable items?

    Our restoration team will create a comprehensive list of any items we find during the restoration process. We’ll also note their condition, including whether we could salvage the item or had to dispose of it.

  • What does the water damage restoration process involve?

    Our water damage restoration process involves very specific procedures and safety precautions to repair your property. We will bring in advanced restoration equipment to mitigate the water damage and begin drying the affected areas properly. We will then remove any damaged structural components, such as flooring and drywall. The damage may be hidden, so we need to look inside of the walls to really help.

  • How does the water damage restoration process work?

    It all begins with an initial assessment and stabilization. We will determine the extent of the damage and how best to move forward. Then, the process is broken down into steps:


    Step 1 – We dry the affected areas using wet vacuums, pumps, and industrial-grade air movers.

    Step 2 – We remove carpet and padding that cannot be salvaged.

    Step 3 – We’ll restore your personal belongings to the best of our abilities.

    Step 4 – The team will clean and dehumidify the area to prevent mold growth or worsening damage.

  • What are the major causes of flood damage and water damage?

    Typically, flood and water damage is caused by a number of problems, including:


    • Leaking appliances, such as dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators.
    • Leaking or burst pipes
    • Clogged sinks or overflowing toilets
    • Hidden moisture underneath the floors or inside of the walls.
    • Flash floods, storm damage, hurricanes, tropical storms.
  • Can water damage be hidden? If so, what are the signs?

    Yes – water damage can remain hidden for days on end. You won’t notice the damage until it worsens. The signs of water damage include an unpleasant, mildew-like odor, slight stains on the walls and ceilings, peeling paint, warped flooring and other effects.  

  • Who to call for water damage?

    Call us now or contact us directly through our website to get the help you need.

  • How long does the drying and cleaning process take?

    Drying and cleaning a structure depends on the severity of the water damage, the type of structure, and the level of contamination present. The timeline can vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including the extent of the damage, the amount of contents, the removal of materials, and the elimination of contaminants, among others.


    Restoring your home or business to pre-loss conditions is our top priority. Our team is dedicated to monitoring the process, focusing on drying, cleaning, and decontaminating the area. 

  • Do you work with warranty companies and HOAs?

    Yes, Anthony Restoration works with warranty companies and HOAs to provide reliable and efficient property restoration services. We understand the importance of thorough documentation and meeting HOA requirements, ensuring clear communication and delivering quality work. 


    We’re also experienced in handling commercial and large-loss projects!

Contents Pack-out FAQs

  • Why choose Anthony Restoration as your packout company instead of a moving company?

    Unlike moving companies, which focus solely on transporting your belongings, Anthony Restoration specializes in the entire restoration process. We have the expertise to carefully handle, document, and restore your items after water or fire damage. Our team uses specialized software to catalog and track items, ensuring a thorough and accurate inventory. We take extra care in protecting your belongings and understand the restoration process from start to finish, maximizing efficiency and minimizing disruption to your life

  • Do you provide on-site or off-site restoration?

    We offer both on-site and off-site restoration services, depending on the level of damage and the type of items that require restoration.

  • Do you provide storage services?

    Yes, we offer storage in a climate-controlled facility to ensure your items are kept in optimal conditions.

  • What is included in the pack-back service?

    Pack-back involves the delivery and careful reinstallation of restored items to their original locations.  Many homeowners also ask us to unpack the items as part of the service

  • How does the contents process work?

    At Anthony Restoration, our crews will arrive to carefully “pack out” contents from your home or business. Each room's contents will be digitally photographed, inventoried, and packed in new packaging materials. Large items, such as furniture, will be tagged for tracking.


    We take great care in packing and tracking your belongings, noting and photographing any visible pre-existing damage that is not related to the loss. If needed, we will begin processing or cleaning on-site. Once packed, our team will transport the items to our facility, where they will be stored and processed for further cleaning, as needed.
