Water Damage Signs That Need Attention

Standing or Spreading Water

Water that is still present or moving into nearby areas can quickly affect flooring, walls, cabinets, and other materials.

Wet Drywall, Baseboards, or Flooring

Materials that stay wet after a leak may mean moisture has traveled farther than what you can see.

Water Stains on Ceilings and Walls

Stains that continue to spread can point to an active leak or moisture moving through surrounding materials.

Musty Odors After Water Damage

A persistent damp or musty smell may be a sign that moisture remains behind walls, under flooring, or in other hidden areas.

Warped, Swollen, or Bubbling Materials

Buckled flooring, swollen baseboards, bubbling paint, or damaged drywall can indicate trapped moisture that needs attention.

Had a mold inspection issue and Ashley at Christian Brothers helped us address the issue promptly. The mold inspection appointment was scheduled and Roberto arrived punctually to survey the suspected damage. At one point we had to reschedule the appointment and called before work. I was prepared to leave a message when a human was on the other end. Ashley rescheduled us on the spot relieving me of any unnecessary stress. Thank you for the professional A+ customer service as it is deeply appreciated.

I recently had water damage at a property I manage, and I’m so grateful I called Christian Brothers. From start to finish, their team was prompt, professional, and incredibly supportive during a stressful time. The team of Victoria, Jose R., Azael and Oliver quickly, assessed the situation thoroughly, and clearly explained every step of the remediation process. They worked efficiently, keeping everything clean, organized, and as undisruptive as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Christian Brothers delivered exceptional service when I needed it most, and I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with water damage. Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had such wonderful experience with Christian Brothers and would not hesitate to call them again. Their team was extremely responsive and helpful. Ashley answered all my questions and helped with getting paperwork to the insurance company in a timely manner. Jose and his team were on time and exceptionally clean with the demo and repair work. We hardly even noticed them in the home. It felt so good to have everything taken care of after the disturbance of the unexpected water leak.

They have surpassed my expectations. It is becoming harder and harder to find companies that are this great to work with. Their level of professionalism was impressive. They are responsive, professional, respectful, prompt and kind. From my first call to the clean up, it has been nothing but a great experience. I communicated the most with Ashley, who went above and beyond for us, even calling us after she left work to answer a question we had. I loved working with her. Rob was very knowledgeable and Luis and Kellie really were top notch with their professionalism. They knew I was allergic to mold and took extra precautions to make sure I would feel assured of not having any exposure. Even the 3rd party company they contracted with was great. Truly a great experience from the very start and throughout. Can’t recommend them enough. Rare to work with a company this impressive.

When our condo had water damage, we dealt with both Victoria and Ashley to get testing done (very quick) and restoration started. Victoria was very professional, freindly & understanding.

A special shout out to Cesar's crew of Jose, Azael and Oscar. They did a great job in cleaning up pet waste and yard debris left by the last tenant. They were timely, professional, careful and efficient in all respects. Jose did a great job taking inventory of tenant's abandoned property. They worked so well together as a team moving abandoned items from the garage to staging area for eventual pack-out. Highly recommend. Scheduling the crew for work was seamless thanks to Josalyn who maintains a firm hand on the administrative & communication process.

I would highly recommend Christian Brothers (CB) for damage and restoration work due to water leaks. We had nothing but an excellent experience with them. When we had a water leak, they were here before the plumbers were finished assessing the leak to mitigate any damage. The original on-site damage assessor took pictures and evaluated what was needed for repairs. He told us what to expect as far as the process and advised us on what to expect from the insurance company. That same day they brought in the crew to tear up the damaged floor and the damaged sections of the dry wall and installed blowers to start the drying process. Each day someone came and checked the reading for the drying process. The CB adjuster (Taylor) responsible for assessing the damage and submitting the initial repair estimate to the insurance company came the second day and had the estimate to the insurance within 3 days of the incident. A project team and project leader (Victoria) were immediately assigned, and all contact information was provided. CB worked directly with the insurance company on the mitigation, and we were never directly billed. Then things bogged down due to lack of cooperation from the insurance adjuster. It took almost 9 weeks for the insurance adjuster to respond to approve the estimates so work could be started. This is where CB really stepped up. During these 9 weeks, Victoria, the project manager, advised me on what normal expectations should be, that they were not being met and what I should do. When I did not get responses from my insurance agent, Victoria and Taylor, the CB estimator, stepped up and started calling and emailing the adjuster every other day and when they were unsuccessful in contacting him, they went above and beyond by calling the agent's supervisor and other people to escalate the issue. Once the estimate was finally approved work could begin. Since the old laminate flooring could not be matched all laminate flooring had to be replaced. This meant all of the furniture from those rooms had to be moved out. CB's crew came in and took pictures of the rooms and then methodically packed everything and moved it off-site. After the reconstruction of the walls and the flooring was installed all the furniture was moved back and correctly placed including the contents of bookshelves and dresser drawers. Not a single item was damaged. The repair work was excellent; you cannot tell where the walls and ceiling were damaged and replaced. The paint colors were perfectly matched. The entire ceiling was repainted, so it matched. Kudos to Abraham and Frank for doing an exceptional job. During this process, CB worked with us such that we were able to stay in our house and live a somewhat normal life. We were expecting out of town guests that were going to stay with us, but because of the insurance delay it looked like that would be an issue. Victoria had estimated it would take 3-4 weeks once the insurance approval was received to order the materials and finish the work, but knowing that we had guests coming in, she was able to work with Jose, the reconstruction project manager, she and Jose were able to get the project done in 2-3 weeks, just in time for our guests arrival. Since the repairs were completed, we had one issue with a molding that came loose. The next day someone was on site to repair it. The entire CB team was very professional, friendly, helpful, and accommodating thru this entire ordeal. I could not ask for a better group of people or company to work with.

IF THERE WERE 10 STARS I WOULD LEAVE IT! JUST A GREAT REVIEW TO YOU ALL!!! We had a flood in a property at 7139 FAY AVENUE in LA JOLLA on the day escrow was scheduled to close. Suffice it to say, the stress to the sellers AND buyers, and agents and all involved, escrow, and all parties involved with the property transaction were highly affected and YOUR TEAM, starting with ROB WOERPEL and his crew that first day was ABOVE AND BEYOND ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN IN OVER 60 YEARS ON THIS PLANET, and 19 YEARS in REAL ESTATE!!!! They were there within 2 hours of being called. There was NO TIME Wasted getting to the address, there was never a day there was not someone working on the project, MONDAY through every SUNDAY and all parties seemed to understand the constant checking by buyers and buyers agent was important to keep the project and sale moving forward. THANK YOU CHRISTAIN BROTHERS, post this review, or tell me where you want me to speak to your clietns, YOU GUYS WERE AMAZING!!!! CYNDI STETSON WILLIS ALLEN REAL ESTATE, CLOSED THE ESCROW YESTERDAY!!! THE HOUSE LOOKED BETTER THAN WHEN WE STARTED!!!!!

Christian Brothers helped us restore and remodel our master bathroom after water damage. From start (demo team) to finish (restoration team) all teams were great to work with. The office management team kept us updated and the project moving along. We were referred to CB by our State Farm Agent and now we too would like to refer the company. Greatest bonus - they coordinated and brought in wonderful subcontractors.
