 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm glad I contacted Breen. He came promptly for an assessment, knew where to look, and patiently answered all of my questions about other areas of concern in my house. He even offered to glance in the attic which was appreciated - as well as offering some DIY solutions for consideration. I opted to have Breen do the abatement and I'm happy I did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Breen. He's knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Trott Home Services for mold removal in my cottage, and I can’t recommend Troff Home Service highly enough! From the very first phone call,  Breen was incredibly professional and attentive. He took the time to explain the entire process, addressing all my concerns with patience and expertise.

Punctual, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable. He conducted a thorough inspection and quickly identified the source of the mold problem. Their attention to detail and commitment to safety made me feel confident that I was in good hands.

What impressed me most was their dedication to ensuring my cottage was not only mold-free but also safe for my family.

If you’re dealing with any mold issues or need home services, I wholeheartedly recommend Trott Home Service. Truly exceeded my expectations!

Thank you Trott Home Services for your exceptional service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Breen as an expert in the matter of mould to assess two potential issues in my house. Without hesitation, he confirmed the first instance as water staining from old leaks and therefore needing no action.  For the second, after carefully examining the areas, applying logic and considering my input, he patiently offered a contextual interpretation of the data confirming there was no problem then he provided a broad range of unbiased options including some simple DIY to optimize air quality in my older home.  In both cases, as the expert in the room, he could have easily jumped to conclusions and created heightened concern in order to propose expensive remedies for his own benefit.  The fact that he did the opposite speaks volumes on his character and expertise.  Having had recent experience with the exact opposite, it was refreshing to deal with someone that assesses a situation in a selfless manner.  I would trust Breen implicitly to provide expert advice that is focused on the facts and not on generating profits.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Trott Home Services enough! The owner Breen is patient, knowledgeable & so very thorough. He explained every step in the process so that we, as homeowners, could rest easy knowing a true professional was at work to resolve our issues. He also has a very calming presence, which was so important to us during a most stressful time. His resolution was efficient,  his fee very reasonable & we received a comprehensive “before & after” report, which included a clear work plan. Dont hesitate to hire this company. In a world of dubious service providers, Breen stands out miles above the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does home insurance cover water damage?

Not all policies offer coverage for water damage. It helps to keep the following in mind before filing an insurance claim:

Keep proof of the water damage
Have a detailed record of the damaged assets
Do not throw anything away as it could be a piece of evidence
Do not make any permanent repairs before the inspection by your insurance company

When should I call a restoration company after water damage?

If you were not able to dry out the affected area quickly then it is very possible the water could have seeped into the floor or walls. The added moisture sets up a perfect environment for mold to grow. The earlier you can remove the moisture, the better chance you will have at preventing the growth of mold. That’s why we recommend having a professional take a look. Their knowledge and experience will help you distinguish your problem before it even becomes one.

Is It dangerous to live with mold?

Mold is everywhere but living with too much mold around is not good for your health. If you’re not sure it would be worth having a professional inspection to assess the situation. Mold is especially dangerous for young children and anyone with outlying medical conditions.

What should I watch out for when the snow is melting?

Every season brings its own concerns and hazards to a home. After bearing the harsh winter of temperatures significantly rising and dropping, homeowners now must worry about the melting snow. Water damages are major concerns throughout the winter seasons due pipes freezing and bursting. It is also an issue during the spring season due to the spring thaw and all the snow melting. Although you can never completely eliminate the chances of damages from happening, there are many steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk.

Water is able to penetrate into a home through cracks in the foundation or in window sills due to the fluctuating weather. During warm weather, water seeps into the ground and when the temperature drops, the water freezes. When the water freezes, it expands and pushes the foundation causing cracks. Even the smallest, hairline crack can allow a significant amount of water into your home.

Why should I use an IIRC certified restoration company?

The Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Restoration Certification is a certification authority. The IICRC establishes standards that the cleaning and restoration companies should meet. There are many benefits of working with an IICRC certified restoration company, including the following:

Deal with professionals who know exactly what to do in an emergency such as pipe burst or basement flooding.
The technicians will have the knowledge and skills on how to operate and place drying equipment in the most efficient ways.
The company will have the expertise, experience, and resources to handle a project of any size.
The experts from an IICRC certified company will have the ability to answer your questions.
You can rest assured about handling the damages in the best possible way with minimal disruption.
