We’re proud of the glowing testimonials from our satisfied customers, which speak to our professionalism, timeliness, and expertise. Our pricing is competitive and we offer financing options to make our services accessible to as many people as possible.
Extensive Training
Choosing Restore Pros is choosing a tried-and-true partner in restoration services, backed by a solid history of performance and trust. As a testament to our quality and expertise, we were chosen by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) as one of the select companies to weatherize thousands of homes in Northeast Georgia. This project involved extensive training at Southface Energy Institute and the successful completion of various tasks such as replacing insulation, air sealing, installing vapor barriers, and conducting blower door tests across several hundred homes.
GEFA Compliant
As a general contractor for GEFA, we adhere to the highest standards. Our work is regularly inspected by outside agencies, ensuring that our service is always up to par with GEFA’s stringent requirements. We’ve been trusted for over a decade by the communities around Athens like the town of Watkinsville, GA to deliver stellar restoration services.
Industry Certifications
Our team’s industry certifications further set us apart from the competition. With IICRC training in water damage, structural drying, and mold remediation, we possess the specialized knowledge and skill set required to handle any restoration project efficiently and effectively. We tailor our approach to each unique situation rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all solution. This means we consider factors such as ductwork and plumbing, which may influence the methods used and the duration of the encapsulation or repair process.
Customer-Centered
We take pride in maintaining open and honest communication with our customers. If we discover any unforeseen conditions during the project, we make sure our clients are informed and updated. We have a comprehensive understanding of insurance claims related to water or mold damage. Many homeowners may not realize that certain types of damage are covered by their insurance policies. Our objective is NOT to save the insurance company money, but to ensure that your home is restored to its best possible condition.
Exceptional Workmanship
Choosing Restore Pros means choosing professionalism, experience, and a customer-first approach from a locally owned and operated business. With us, homeowners save time and money and gain peace of mind, knowing that the job has been done right. Our exceptional craftsmanship, reliable service, and customer satisfaction speaks for itself.
Crawl Space Restoration Options in Athens, GA
Vapor Barriers
Vapor barriers, also called moisture barriers, help to keep your crawlspace dry by preventing water vapors from increasing the humidity under your house. High humidity is something we see a lot of most of the year here in Georgia, so a good vapor barrier that is properly installed is essential to maintaining a healthy crawlspace. We typically install an 8 mil reinforced polyurethane sheeting to completely cover the floor and sides of the crawlspace, according to industry standards. Since there are different types of sheeting, the choice of which barrier to use is always reserved to the homeowner. However, the expertise and care we take in making sure your crawlspace is dry never changes.
Dehumidifiers
When a vapor barrier isn’t enough, another component in humidity control is installing a dehumidifier. This simple machine can make a complicated issue a lot easier to manage by also helping to prevent mold and rot to your floor joists and subfloor. And with modern technology, instead of having to constantly check the crawlspace’s moisture level, a homeowner has a helping hand with the right dehumidifier in place; some even have wi-fi capabilities for easier managing and monitoring from within the home.
Mold Removal
Some of our other solutions are soda blasting, HEPA Vacuuming, cleaning agents, and elbow grease. When microbial growth has become detrimental to your home, Restore Pros takes swift action to get your home clean. The fungi that grows after water damage can feed on wood and other surfaces in the home, and these spores can aggravate allergies, or worse, if disturbed. This makes mold difficult to remove safely and completely. However, Restore Pros specializes in crawlspace mold removal services, and our number one priority is your health. This is why we use state-of-the-art remediation equipment to efficiently remove toxic growth from residential and commercial properties.
Encapsulation
Believe it or not, most of the crawl spaces we inspect do not need encapsulation. Many companies that claim to ‘specialize’ in crawl space repair know that the average homeowner doesn’t know much about encapsulation, or crawl spaces, for that matter. So it’s an easy scare tactic to get people to spend way more than is necessary on their repairs. We only recommend encapsulation as a last resort, and discuss all other options with our customers so they can make the best decision for their home. Since all crawl spaces are different, encapsulation of a crawl space can mean different things for different homes. Vapor barrier replacement is among the most common things that we see is needed in restoring a crawlspace, along with air sealing and antimicrobial treatment.
Crawl Space Repair
It is very important to remember that every crawlspace is unique, so no two houses will have the same exact remediation plan or restoration process. But with our repair jobs, we always begin with the necessary procedures, which will determine if more methods are needed. Our primary remediation services include sealing and removing affected materials, HEPA Vacuuming all affected surfaces, and treating surfaces with antimicrobial to kill existing growth if present. If necessary, we are also certified to apply encapsulation to further prevent re-growth, investigate additional sources of moisture and offer solutions, and coordinate with other licensed contractors to perform any other repairs.
Structural Repair
Repairing crawl spaces is no easy task, especially when damage in the crawlspace has affected other areas of a structure. High humidity and ongoing water damage can wreak havoc, and the most common issue we see is hardwood floor damage or sagging floors. We are not your typical restoration company that only offers a few services like vapor barrier installation and mold treatment. We are also equipped to perform installation of dehumidifiers and insulation, along with mold cleaning. Here are some of the structural repair services we offer: floor joist replacement, floor leveling, foundation drainage, and floor rot repairs. If you want your crawlspace or floors repaired correctly with the ability to upgrade, Restore Pros has the perfect solution for you.
TESTIMONIALS
Cost of Crawl Space Restoration Services
The cost of crawl space services we provide in Athens, GA, depends on many different factors. For example, we cannot not perform mold remediation without solving issues with any existing leaks. There have been crawl spaces as long as there have been homes. Preventing water from entering and evaporating in your crawl space will correct most crawl space issues. Complete crawl space restoration for an 1800 sq. ft. home will typically range from $6,000 to $12,000 dollars, depending on current conditions, size, accessibility, and the scope of work needed to correct your issues.

Wet carpet can harbor bacteria depending on the type of water it was flooded with, and the amount of time it has been wet. It can also begin to delaminate, which can prevent it from being re-installed. In all cases the wet pad needs to be removed and replaced. On occasion the carpet can be dried with-out replacing, but it needs to have a new pad underneath. Always make sure the carpet is completely dry before relaying it on the pad.
