★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1When our 1,000 sq ft fully finished basement flooded, Mike from DryMax was at our home within an hour of our call—on a Sunday afternoon. His quick response and calm professionalism immediately put us at ease during a very stressful time. His team arrived promptly and began the water remediation process without delay. They worked efficiently and with great care, minimizing further damage and keeping us informed every step of the way.Our basement included a wet bar, closet, and full bathroom, all of which were affected. Mike also handled the full restoration, and the results exceeded our expectations—the quality of the work was excellent throughout. He salvaged as much as possible with reasons on why somethings had to go, helping us keep the cost low.Beyond the repairs, Mike’s guidance with the insurance claims process was incredibly helpful and made a complex situation much easier to manage. He also recommended reliable local service providers for replacing our sump pump, which was essential in preventing future issues.We’re deeply grateful for Mike’s expertise and support, and we wholeheartedly recommend DryMax to anyone dealing with water damage.
May 10, 2025 · Pratik ShindeMike and his crew were phenomenal!Waking up at 6am on a Sunday to a flooded, fully finished, basement (6 inches of water throughout 1000 sqft) started as a very stressful day - especially considering I'm 7 months pregnant and have 2 toddlers at home.After 30 min of online research I decided to call DryMax (selected for proximity, high ratings, good review text). He was at our house 30 min later (7am on a Sunday!).He did an assessment, and walked me over the next steps. By 9am we had a plumber onsite fixing a piping issue, and 4 other folks starting mitigation work (pumping out water). By 2 pm they had removed all the water, flooring, doors, and started cutting off the bottom of the dry walls. By 6pm they had 10 dehumidifiers running and all the wet stuff removed. I was truly impressed by how fast they executed!In the next few days they did 2 rounds of deep cleaning of the basement surface from any flooding residue, and by week 1 all the mitigation work was completed.Mike helped me navigate the insurance claims process (how proactive to be calling them to get traction, what the steps are, etc) and advised on what to keep vs replace (pointing out risks of mold and rust).Once the insurance cleared the repairs cost estimate, Mike's crew moved very fast again on repair works. It was around 2 weeks to get the work completed, including the wait time for ordering new floors and doors.The work was done with very high attention to detail, Mike clearly has a great and experienced crew, and has contacts to many great specialists when needed. Very responsive, reliable and communicates clearly.I'm now 8 months pregnant and can resume resting prior to the baby's arrival. Thank you Mike!
Dec 08, 2023 · Dorota WąsDry Max Restoration is 100% the answer to your water and flooding problems. We had an unfortunate flood in our basement due to a faulty sump pump plug and just as unfortunate was the fact that we discovered it on a Sunday evening!!! Our call to owner Mike Golan was immediately answered and he was in our basement with fans and other equipment to soak up the water and help eliminate the very real threat of mold and mildew buildup within less than an hour! When dry and within just a couple of days, Mike had his crew back in our basement to begin treatment and removal of affected material. They then refinished our walls - all to a very satisfactory result! Mike worked with our insurance company and was just all around very reassuring and a pleasure to work with! I can recommend DryMax Restoration with reservation! We are grateful and thankful that Mike and his team came to our rescue ! Hands down, the best!
