Flood Out Restoration

When a pipe bursts at two in the morning, the phone number matters more than the marketing. Flood Out Restoration is a Longview water damage and disaster restoration company that describes itself on its website as locally owned by Wes Markum with more than 25 years of restoration experience, and says its around-the-clock emergency line is answered by a real person rather than a call center. The work covers emergency water removal and flood cleanup, burst pipe response, structural drying and dehumidification, mold inspection and remediation, sewage and biohazard cleanup, fire and smoke damage, storm and hail cleanup, contents pack-out and storage, and the reconstruction afterward. According to its site, technicians are licensed, insured and IICRC-certified, and the company bills insurance directly using Xactimate-priced scopes so homeowners are dealing with a deductible rather than the whole invoice. It is the sort of business you hope never to need and are grateful exists at 3 a.m.
