This is an Inject-A-dry in use in Shasta County. We are trying to dry the cabinets instead of pulling them saving money and time for the customer.

Inflation rates are at their highest growth rate since 1982. Budgeting seems to be on top of our lists, with the cost increase of food, energy, and homes. We are becoming money acrobats, stretching every last dollar as far as it can go. The question is, what happens when an unexpected appliance breaks and floods your whole kitchen? Is there a way to keep water damage restoration costs down?

The answer is yes, and we will start with two words. Restore vs. Replace.

Time is of the essence of saving money when it comes to water damage in your home. 

 If you suspect an appliance is leaking, here is a quick checklist for you to follow.
