Damage Restoration Services in Montclair, CA | Matt McGinnes Restoration

Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, musty odors, damp spots on walls or floors, and the sound of running water when no fixtures are on. If you notice any of these, it's best to call us for an inspection to prevent extensive drywall water damage.

Look for water stains or efflorescence (white, chalky residue) on basement walls or crawl spaces, especially after heavy rain. You might also notice a damp smell or peeling paint. Foundation seepage can weaken structures, so prompt restoration is key to protecting your home.

First, ensure your safety by turning off electricity to the affected area if it's safe. Remove standing water using a wet/dry vac if possible, and call us right away. We'll extract water, dry the space, and restore any damaged drywall or flooring to prevent mold growth.
