Water, fire, mold or storm damage? Get restoration help.

No. It is a local service that publishes property-restoration information and passes service requests to an independent restoration company that performs the work. The company completing the project provides the inspection, scope, price, schedule and agreement.

All fourteen Vermont counties — twenty-nine towns from Burlington and South Burlington through Colchester, Essex, Williston, Milton and Shelburne to Richmond, Jericho, Underhill, Cambridge, Jeffersonville, Fairfax, Montpelier, Barre, Rutland, Bennington, Brattleboro, St. Johnsbury, Newport, Island Pond, Middlebury, Randolph and South Hero. Each has its own service-area page.

Stop the water at its source or the main shutoff if you can reach it safely, keep power off in any wet area, move what is portable out of the water, and photograph everything before anything is moved. Then send a request and call your insurer.

It depends on how much material got wet, how contaminated the water was, how long it sat, and how much can be dried rather than removed. Nobody can give a real figure without inspecting the property, and a phone quote is a guess that will change.

Yes. Restaurants, medical and dental practices, schools, hotels, retail, managed and multifamily property, congregations, warehouses, offices and senior living all have their own pages describing what differs for that occupancy.
