Tony is amazing! He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and very detail oriented. Tony and his team worked together with me step by step on a bathroom demolition & complete remodel which turned out perfect.

When water, fire, storm or mold damage interrupts your home or your business, trained restoration professionals are available to respond, stabilize the property and begin restoring and cleaning what has been damaged.

Property emergencies do not keep business hours. Calls are answered day or night by people who work these losses, so mitigation can begin as quickly as conditions allow rather than waiting for the next morning.

    Emergency restoration assistance is available day or night, including weekends and holidays.

Residential emergency services

Emergency restoration in a home can range from immediate water mitigation to the cleaning and restoration work needed to return the residence to usable condition.

  • Cleaning services

    Cleaning of affected surfaces, contents and personal property as part of returning the home to usable condition.

Frequently asked questions

Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes. Emergency restoration assistance is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for both residential and commercial properties.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
If it is safe to do so, stop the water at its source, keep people and pets away from affected areas, and avoid using electrical equipment in wet areas. Tell us what you are seeing when you call and we will advise you further.
Do you handle both mitigation and the rebuild?
Yes. We can carry a loss from the initial emergency work through drying, remediation and reconstruction so you are not coordinating several separate companies.

We called 1st Action, because we had a leak and weren't sure where it was coming from. Tony removed the wall, flooring and found a burst pipe in the washer machine area. He went back and forth with our insurance company trying to get us more money. They wanted to pay us $14k initially for the hardwood floors to be sanded and stained. Tony…
