The project manager and the crew were amazing! Harold was the lead crew member. The entire team has been very professional, patient and courteous. They made the process less stressful for us. We would recommend them to anyone who needs water damage mitigation.

Met one of the owners of the Restoration Doctor in DC while visiting. If lived in the area, no doubt I would call them up for my home restoration needs. He was so knowledgeable and informative and was so kind to my 6 year old son who had lots of questions and was spitting historical facts at him lol. It’s really incredible to see a business give back to its community in this way and I really appreciate their authentic approach to marketing. If you’re in the area and have home restoration needs, I’d definitely suggest you give the Restoration Doctor a chance!

How we earn them

We answer at any hour

Most of the reviews on this page start the same way: someone called late, and someone picked up. Crews run across the District around the clock, and the first visit is the one that decides how much of the house has to come out.

How water damage response works

We document everything for the claim file

Moisture readings, daily drying logs, photographs of every affected area, and a line-item Xactimate scope. You keep the file, and your adjuster gets everything needed to evaluate the loss without a second trip.

See documented projects

We work for you, not the insurance company

We bill you, the homeowner, and hand you a carrier-ready claim file. That is why the scope reflects the house rather than a carrier's preferred number — and why the crew explains each reading in front of you instead of behind a portal.

Tyson offered to come the night my pipe burst, but the plumber was here so we asked him to come the next day. He evaluated the drywall for water damage and found none, so we didn't need to go further. He was extremely nice and helpful!

Tyson came out with his thermal camera and identified all areas of water intrusion. The damage wasn't super extensive so we just allowed our tile contractor to do the dry out but this company could not have been nicer or more helpful and didn't even charge us to come out with the infrared equipment

5 Stars - Highly Recommend - Lifesavers After Our Airbnb Flood! Restoration Doctors are absolute heroes! Our basement Airbnb apartment suffered a total flood after both our primary and backup sump pumps failed. GD and his crew were on the scene incredibly fast. From the moment they arrived, the team was professional, thorough, and reassuring. They meticulously cleaned up the entire space and confidently explained their drying and restoration plan to us and our guests (who opted to STAY). What truly impressed us was their ability to work seamlessly around a pair of quite difficult guests, handling the situation with grace at every turn. Even though we were out of town, they left us feeling completely confident that our apartment would be perfectly restored. An outstanding service in a stressful situation – thank you, Restoration Doctors!
