Does homeowner's insurance cover water damage and mold restoration?

Yes — most homeowner and commercial property insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, mold remediation, and property restoration. We work directly with all major insurance providers and help you navigate the claims process from start to finish.

Do I need to pay anything upfront for restoration services?

In most cases, no. We bill your insurance provider directly. If there are any out-of-pocket costs, we discuss them with you transparently and in writing before starting any work.

How long does the water damage restoration process take?

Per the IICRC S500 Standard, minor Category 1 water damage can be dried in 2-4 days; major Category 2 or Category 3 floods may take several weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during our initial assessment.

What certifications should a restoration company have?

Look for IICRC certifications in Water Damage Restoration (WRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), and Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT). Pure Resto technicians hold all three.

Can you help with temporary housing during restoration?

If your property is uninhabitable during restoration, your insurance policy may cover temporary housing under Additional Living Expenses (ALE). We document damage and coordinate with your adjuster to help get this approved.

How does Pure Resto bill insurance companies directly?

FAQ

Odor Removal & Sanitization Questions from Bethesda Homeowners

Quick answers about our odor removal & sanitization services in Bethesda, MD.

What methods do you use to remove odors?

We use a combination of professional-grade techniques tailored to the source: hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment for airborne and embedded smoke or pet odors, thermal fogging to penetrate porous surfaces like fabrics and drywall, and enzyme-based deodorizers that break down odor-causing bacteria at the source rather than just masking the smell.

Is odor removal and sanitization safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use EPA-registered disinfectants and follow manufacturer and OSHA safety protocols. Ozone and thermal fogging treatments are run in unoccupied spaces and the area is aired out and verified safe before anyone returns. We take every precaution to protect your family, pets, and belongings.

Can sanitization remove viruses, bacteria, and allergens?

Yes. We apply EPA-registered disinfectants listed for SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens per the EPA List N, using electrostatic and fogging application for complete surface coverage. This dramatically reduces bacteria, viruses, and allergens on surfaces and in the air.

Which odors can you eliminate?

Smoke and fire odors, pet urine and dander odor, musty and mold smells, cooking odors, tobacco smoke, sewage backup odors, and odors from deceased pests or hoarding conditions. We identify the specific source and use the right combination of ozone, thermal fogging, hydroxyl, and enzyme treatments to neutralize it permanently.

How long does a sanitization or deodorization treatment take?

Most residential treatments take 2-4 hours. Heavy smoke or embedded pet odors that require ozone or thermal fogging may need a longer treatment window (often overnight) plus time to air out. We provide a clear timeline during the initial assessment.
