What Customers say about Floodmasters:

SEP007: "These days, it is hard to find a business that actually practices great customer service, but I was fortunate to find one - Floodmasters (Norcross, GA). This was my first experience with water damage/flooding, so it goes without saying that I had many questions. The Floodmasters team was extremely professional, competent and thorough. I would recommend this team to anyone in need of water remediation."

June001: "My experience with Floodmasters is a flooded bathroom and crawl space due to a minor plumbing issue. Bob Condit responded quickly and immediately resolved the source preventing more damage and began the drying process. I don't know everything it took to dry and fully restore my bathroom, because he and his crew took care of everything so quickly with beautiful results. I had a deductible on insurance, but he dealt with insurance. I referred Floodmaster to my Mother (for a flooded basement) with equally professional results finished in unbelievably fast turn-around time."

pkeane: "Floodmasters was recommended to me by a neighbor because I had serious water damage to my hardwood floors and vent system in my home. Their service and performance was superb. They handled the negotiations with the insurance company and made sure that all necessary repairs were made. They were efficient, prompt and professional - I couldn't have been happier."
