Jesse was great. Showed up promptly, stayed in touch, and explained everything. I will keep his business card, and will definitely recommend him and his company to everyone. Thank you. Ryan Alvey2023-11-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a pipe break in our basement. A plumber referred us to The Flood Team and they were a pleasure/relief to work with. Shane came out and explained everything while be long very understand and accommodating. I also spoke with Amy multiple times who helped guide us through the process of everything, extremely nice and helpful! Dan Hanes2023-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The flood team did a fantastic job cleaning up from a major flood in my home (due to a tree crashing through the roof during a big storm). They cleaned up all the wet and damaged contents, pulled damaged drywall and carpet, and installed fans and heaters to dry everything out. Shane Plopper (St. Louis) in particular went "above and beyond" expectations to make sure my home was cleaned up, dried out, and protected from further damage. He attached an excellent tarp on the roof to help prevent further flooding. He also did a great job with the contents inventory for my insurance company. Beverly Smith2023-08-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I think Donny Reader did a fantastic job of removing a root ball from my sewer line. He was efficient and courteous. It took awhile but he didn't stop until the job was done. He helped clean up the basement when he finished the job! Just GREAT! Sherry Salls2023-07-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Flood team was amazing! Dan made all of our worries and problems go away on that gloomy day along with a great team! They put Service Master to shame in my book. We had back up in 2022 and we used SM. The Flood Team out did them to shame and when they left we were beyond happy!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kimberly Reed2023-07-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so glad I called The Flood Team. After the heavy rains, I discovered about 3 inches of water in my basement. Anthony and his team came out the next day, explained everything and they not only did what they said, they even did EXTRA!! They brought me great peace of mind! They were fast and transparent. I highly highly recommend The Flood Team!! So very satisfied!! Richard Hund2023-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When my basement flooded, I didn't know where to turn--- but thankfully Dan was able to come out very quickly to stay pumping out he water. But that's not what stood out in my overall experience. I still needed to get all the contents out, drywall removed, mold issues addressed, dehumidifiers installed... and Dan and his partner Marlena and other workers did it ALL. I could tell it wasn't just a job for them--- they knew we were devastated and worked with us to save what we could. They took the time to talk about the process and save us money where possible. I don't ever want to need their services again! But if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to call them. Lauren L2023-02-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jesse and the Flood Team were great! I called to have an estimate done and they came out right away. Great communication the entire time and they worked with my insurance company directly. The work was done quickly and I am happy with the results. Thank you, Jesse and Team! Taylor Brengard2022-12-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a pipe burst on Christmas Eve, Shane and his crew started cleanup on Christmas Day. While this was obviously not a fun experience, we could not be more thankful for The Flood Team!!! They have done an incredible job drying out our home... the water went through three levels, so it has been quite the project. Shane and his crew have been extremely thorough and respectful of our home, the communication has been excellent, I cannot recommend them enough if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation. Thank you so so much Flood Team!!! Stacy Erker2022-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were beyond impressed with our experience with The Flood Team! We had a sewer backup resulting in 2' of water in our basement and garage -- the Flood Team responded quickly to our call and started working on the cleanup the SAME DAY. They finished the entire project quickly and their pricing was very fair and reasonable. The team was fantastic to work with - - incredibly responsive, kind and thorough. While I hope I never run into this issue again, if I do, The Flood Team will be my first call. Thank you so much for all that you did to make our home a safe, livable space after the sewer backup we experienced!
