Common Questions
How does General Repair Service handle common water damage issues like ceiling stains or sewer backups in Decatur homes?
Water damage from leaks, ice dams, hurricanes, or sewage backups can be stressful. We start with an emergency inspection to assess the source and extent of damage, then use industrial-grade drying equipment and deodorization to prevent mold. We communicate directly with your insurance company using Xactimate software to ensure smooth claims. Our team has handled these specific issues in Decatur neighborhoods near Wilson Morgan Park and along the Tennessee River for decades.
Does General Repair Service offer new home construction in addition to remodeling and restoration?
Yes. As a licensed general contractor since 1970, we build single-family homes, modular homes, manufactured homes, guest houses, and ADUs. We also specialize in new room additions and remodeling for kitchens, bathrooms, and entire structures. Whether you’re building from the ground up near Austinville or restoring a fire-damaged property in East Decatur, we provide full project management and a one-year workmanship warranty.
What steps does General Repair Service take for mold remediation after water damage?
Mold remediation is a key part of our damage restoration services. After water extraction and drying, we identify and contain affected areas, then remove mold-damaged materials like drywall and insulation. We apply antimicrobial treatments and ensure proper ventilation. Our fully insured team works with your insurance adjuster to restore your home, covering neighborhoods near Burningtree Country Club or downtown Decatur. We follow Alabama safety standards to prevent recurrence.
