Damage Restoration & General Contractor | Mitchell and Son Construction | Memphis, TN

Early signs include unusual noises from your pump, frequent cycling on and off, or water pooling in your basement or crawlspace. In Memphis, where heavy rains can come suddenly, delaying can lead to significant hardwood floor damage. Call Mitchell and Son at the first sign of trouble to minimize damage and start water extraction immediately.

No. Sewage backup water is a Category 3 biohazard, containing bacteria and viruses. In Memphis, where older homes in areas like Cooper-Young or Central Gardens may have aging sewer lines, DIY cleaning is not safe. Our restoration team uses EPA-approved disinfectants and professional drying techniques to safely sanitize and restore your floors, or recommend replacement if necessary.

Often yes, if treated quickly. We use industrial dehumidifiers, air movers, and subfloor drying equipment to extract moisture from the wood. In many cases near the Mississippi River or areas prone to storm surges, we can restore original hardwood floors. However, if the water damage is severe or prolonged, replacement may be more cost-effective. We’ll provide an honest assessment.
