REVIEWS
Dorianna PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend 911 Restoration highly enough. When my basement flooded, their team was at my home within hours and immediately took action to address the damage. My rep, Richard Brown, was exceptional. He is clearly experienced and knowledgeable, but what stood out even more was his empathy and calm approach. I was panicked, and he took the time to walk me through every step of the process, laying out the issues and solutions clearly. He even spoke directly with my insurance agent, which made the entire process much easier for me. Richard’s team, including George and Melvin, were equally outstanding. They were professional, kind, and thorough. Every person I interacted with from 911 Restoration demonstrated the same level of care and professionalism. They turned what could have been a nightmare into a manageable experience, and I walked away with total confidence in their work. If you are facing water damage or any restoration issue, 911 Restoration is the company you want by your side. They are responsive, compassionate, and true experts in what they do. Jennifer OrtizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can't thank the entire crew and staff for their concern and service. The job definitely started with finding out why our floor was warping and where the water was coming from. The reassurance that they would take care of contacting contractors to handle the plumbing that needed to be dealt with, the flooring and cabinetry that needed to be replaced was such a relief for us. First though they had a lot of work to deal with under our house before they could even start inside - hot water breaks cause so much immediate damage. These guys worked so hard and continuously getting all the insulation under one side of our house removed so they could expose the pipes and find what needed to be done before the plumber got here. The multiple days of drying, and finding they needed more fans were needed to get this dried out. They always had such a great and caring attitude, took great care in keeping our house as closed off from the mold exposure as possible. Since we have a number of pets we didn't want them to be boarded so we chose to stay here while they worked. They never once let on this was more inconvenient for them than not. They understood the stress both animals and humans were having here. Not that I ever want to go through this again, but if I had to we would call 911 first. You folks are awesome from day 1 to the finish. Taylor BeggTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sewage line backed up TWICE and turned into a total nightmare. We were really nervous because after getting quotes and schedules from 3 other companies, we were losing hope that nobody would be able to help us. These people absolutely nailed it!!! Fair pricing, exceptional level of detail to their work, and they were so polite and courteous around our home. Richard who came and gave us a quote was kind and professional, and his crew that did the cleaning, Alex and another man with a script tattooed on his arm, were literally so nice we were raving about them after they left. Most polite and respectful workers we’ve ever had in our home and we would have them back in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!! Nicolas MaximTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a recent water leak from our second floor down into our first floor and into the crawl space! Rich did an amazing job telling me what I could expect during the mitigation phase (cost, visits, materials, and equipment needed). Mel, Scott and the team did an amazing job daily coming to set up equipment for drying the damaged areas and ensuring that things were progressing. Very friendly, courteous, and professional. Would highly recommend if you’ve had a leak and are in need of mitigation. Bella DvirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We received quick response and service. they worked with our insurance company. Very satisfied. Chris HerrinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 911 restoration of Portland turned an extremely negative situation into one where I felt empowered to make informed decisions. Aurelius showed up with an hours of my phone call and I felt like a high priority. They worked with me to address my needs and my concerns. I would highly recommend you consider using them if you find yourself in a similar situation. They understood my financial limitations and worked with me to find a solution that worked within those constraints, without making me feel pressured to take on more than I could afford. Not only was their team in the field, upbeat and friendly, but the owner Moe reached out to me personally to see if he couldn’t make it even better. I very much appreciate their approach and their prompt response. Lyndsay MaderisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend 911 Restoration enough! After my salon flood, they showed up incredibly fast and handled every step of the remediation process with total professionalism. As a woman, I don’t always have the best experiences with contractors, but their team made me feel completely comfortable and earned my trust from day one. The entire process was smooth, stress-free, and handled with great care. I’m beyond grateful for their help—highly recommend! Rosalie WakefieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In our home, the washing machine and dryer are in the center of the house. Imagine my surprise when I looked up from the computer and saw a flood of water working its way toward me. I contacted 911 Restoration and they came right out with several de-humidifiers and heater/dryers, put them everywhere, even in the crawl space, and let them do their thing for a few days until everything was dried out nicely. They had to take a lot of the carpet out, too. Then they called Portland Construction Solutions to come and do all of the hammerin' and nailin', install new carpet, everything back to normal, even fixed the drain where the hose had popped out. I was SO impressed with how they kept in close touch with me, explained the process. I definitely recommend both businesses for any one who might have a similar problem. Excellent job - nice people! Tricia JenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve owned homes since 1989 and had never filed a claim or had a disaster of any kind. When I woke on one Sunday morning, to find I had a water leak that went from the top floor to the bottom floor, on through to the crawl space , I had no idea who to call or what to do. I was panicked!! Not only did 911 Restorations on call team, call me back immediately, they sent Richard out to save the day and my house from further damages. Their team began water extraction, carpet and lower wall removal, a ceiling opened up, and had dehumidifiers and fans going within a day. There was no way mold was setting in with their fast response and action. Not only did they get into action, they walked and talked me through step my step exactly the process that I could expect and what they said was exactly what took place. It was so reassuring to know they were knowledgeable and I could trust them in a situation I didn’t know anything about. In addition to the mitigation, they scheduled my move out so I could begin my restoration process with ease. Moe and the billing office were so patient with me when I had some issues with an insurance mixup causing a delay in payment. Thank you 911 for your professionalism, your compassion in a panicked situation, your knowledge so I could stay calm, knowing you had this covered, and your extreme patience!! I hope no one has a disaster, but if they do, I’m recommending you without a doubt. William KiefelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 911 Restoration was fast, accurate, on time and very customer service oriented. Every employee was great to work with. 911 worked well with my insurance company too. Highly recommend these guys.
Our Mold Removal Service Process
Inspection & Assessment
Our technicians arrive promptly to inspect the property and identify the extent of mold growth. Using moisture meters and infrared technology, we locate hidden mold colonies and determine the root cause of moisture problems. This detailed assessment allows us to create a customized remediation plan.
Mold Containment & Removal
We set up containment barriers to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas. Our certified team uses specialized equipment, including HEPA filters and vacuums, to remove mold safely. Contaminated materials are carefully disposed of, and the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate spores and toxins.
Restoration & Prevention
After removal, we restore damaged surfaces such as drywall, flooring, or insulation. We also address underlying moisture issues to prevent mold from returning. Our goal is to restore your property to a clean, healthy condition and ensure long-term protection against future growth.
Q&A
Is mold dangerous to my health?
Yes. Mold exposure can cause respiratory problems, allergies, asthma flare-ups, and other health issues, especially for children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems.
Do you handle both residential and commercial mold removal?
Yes. We provide mold remediation services for homes, apartments, offices, schools, restaurants, and all types of commercial properties.
Can mold return after removal?
If the source of moisture isn’t resolved, mold can come back. That’s why our service includes identifying and addressing underlying moisture issues to prevent future growth.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes. We work with a wide range of insurance companies to help simplify the claims process and ensure you get the coverage you need.
Is your team available 24/7?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency response for mold problems, ensuring fast action when you need it most.
How long does mold removal take?
The timeline depends on the severity of the infestation. Small projects may take 1–2 days, while larger remediation jobs can take several days to a week.
Can mold damage my property?
Yes. Mold can weaken walls, flooring, insulation, and even structural components if left untreated. Prompt removal protects both your property and your health.
Do you test for mold before and after remediation?
Yes. We perform professional mold testing and air quality checks to confirm the problem is resolved and your property is safe.
What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Mold removal addresses visible mold. Mold remediation is the complete process for larger or hidden problems, including containment, filtration, moisture correction and prevention.
Can you remove mold from drywall?
Sometimes drywall can be cleaned if growth is minor and surface-level, but heavily contaminated drywall may need to be removed.
Visible mold cleanup for homes and businesses
Mold removal may be needed in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, basements, attics, crawlspaces, offices, storage rooms and commercial spaces. Visible mold often points to an underlying moisture problem, so removal should include a moisture check and prevention recommendations.
This section should target mold cleanup Portland, mold cleaning services near me and mold removal services in Portland.
Mold removal from wood and drywall
Mold behaves differently depending on the material. Non-porous surfaces can often be cleaned. Porous materials such as drywall, insulation and carpet pad may need to be removed if contamination is heavy or if the material cannot be safely restored. Wood framing may require specialized cleaning, drying and treatment.
The page should link to the mold removal from wood and drywall subpage, and it should explain that professional inspection determines the right approach.
HEPA air scrubbing and filtration
Mold removal can disturb spores if the work area is not controlled. HEPA air scrubbers and HEPA vacuums help capture airborne particles during the cleaning process. This section supports HEPA mold cleaning and HEPA air scrubbing keywords.
Mold stain removal and surface cleaning
Some mold leaves stains even after the active growth is removed. Professional cleaning can improve appearance, reduce odor and help restore affected surfaces when materials can be saved. This section should link to the professional mold stain removal and deep mold cleaning subpages.
When mold removal is not enough
If mold is widespread, hidden, returning repeatedly or connected to unresolved water damage, the property likely needs mold remediation rather than surface removal alone. Mold remediation includes containment, air filtration, material removal, moisture-source correction and prevention.
