ETHOS Integrity Group was founded by two long-time friends who believe in doing things the right way. We’re not a national franchise. While our team has grown, we’ve stayed true to our values and treat every home like it’s our own.

From the first call to the final repair, you’ll get:

Clear communication

Honest recommendations

Professional drying and restoration

Documentation for your insurance claim

Courteous crews who respect your space

Our goal is simple: restore your home and give you peace of mind through quality service, honest communication, and making sure the job is done right the first time.

Types of Water Damage We Handle

Water damage can happen in many ways, not just from major floods. We handle both sudden emergencies and slow leaks that build up over time.

Burst Pipes

Often caused by cold weather, aging plumbing, or sudden pressure changes.

Leaking Appliances

Dishwashers, washing machines, ice makers, refrigerators, and supply lines.

Roof Leaks

Wind-driven rain, clogged gutters, missing shingles, and flashing failures.

Storm Damage

Heavy rain, high winds, hail, or fallen debris that allow water to enter your home.

Sewage Backups

Clogged drains or sewer line failures that cause dirty water to enter your home.

Basement Seepage

Groundwater that slowly enters through foundation cracks or porous walls.

Sudden Overflows

Unexpected backups from toilets, bathtubs, or sinks that flood nearby areas.

Water Heaters

Tank failures or leaking valves that slowly or suddenly release water into your home.

Why Fast Action Matters

When water damage happens, time is your biggest enemy. The longer moisture sits, the more it spreads, often into places you can’t see.

Quick response helps:

  • Prevent warping, swelling, and material breakdown
  • Limit structural damage to walls and floors
  • Shorten the restoration timeline
  • Reduce the risk of mold growth
  • Lower overall repair costs

Acting fast doesn’t just protect your home. It gives you peace of mind.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

When water damage happens, you need a clear plan, not guesswork. Our team follows a proven process to dry, restore, and protect your home.

1. Moisture Assessment

We assess visible damage and use professional moisture meters to find hidden water behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings.

2. Water Removal

Standing water is removed quickly using commercial-grade pumps and vacuums to stop further spread.

3. Drying & Dehumidification

We strategically place air movers, dehumidifiers, and HEPA air filters to dry materials thoroughly and help protect the air you breathe.

4. Monitoring & Verification

Moisture levels are checked daily to confirm everything is drying properly—no assumptions.

5. Cleaning & Treatment

Surfaces are cleaned and treated to prevent odors and microbial growth.

6. Repairs & Restoration

From drywall and flooring to full rebuilds, we can restore your home so it feels like home again.

Dirty Water Cleanup

Some water damage involves dirty or contaminated water. This can happen when a toilet overflows, a main sewer line clogs, or water backs up through floor drains.

Because this type of water can contain harmful bacteria, it’s important to handle it properly to protect your home and your family.

Our team can help with:

  • Toilet overflows
  • Sewer line backups
  • Drain backups in the basement
  • Foul odors or visible contamination
  • Safe cleanup and disinfection protocols

We use proper cleaning methods and protective equipment to make sure everything is handled safely and thoroughly.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Answers to common questions about our water restoration services.
How quickly can you respond?

We’re available 24/7 and respond as quickly as possible when you call. We understand how stressful water damage can be, and our goal is to be there when you need us most.

Do I need to leave my home during restoration?

Not always. It depends on the extent of the damage and the areas affected. We’ll walk you through what to expect and help you make the best decision for your family.

How long does drying usually take?

Most projects take 3–5 days, but every situation is different. We monitor moisture levels daily and adjust our approach to make sure your home is drying safely and thoroughly.

Can you work with my insurance company?

Yes. We help document the damage and handle the details needed to support your claim. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.

What if I’m not sure how serious the damage is?

That’s completely okay. Many issues aren’t obvious at first. Give us a call—we’re happy to answer your questions and help you understand what’s going on.

Will my belongings be affected?

We carefully assess your belongings and do everything we can to dry, clean, and restore what’s salvageable. We’ll also guide you through next steps for anything that isn’t.

Will you remove damaged materials if needed?

Yes. If materials can’t be safely dried or restored, we’ll remove them carefully and explain your options for repair or replacement.

How do you know everything is fully dry?

We use professional moisture meters and track readings throughout the process. This ensures your home is properly dried before any repairs begin.

Is mold always a concern after water damage?

Not always, but moisture left behind can lead to mold growth. That’s why we focus on thorough drying and monitoring every step of the way.

Do you offer repairs after the drying process?

Yes. Once everything is dry, we can take care of repairs—from drywall and flooring to full rebuilds—so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors. Please see our Renovation & Full Rebuild page for more details.
