What recent reviews say

On Side delivers strong technical results for water damage and flood restoration when everything goes smoothly. Staff like Cameron, Sydney, and project managers Amir and Jay earn consistent praise for professionalism and thorough work. However, scheduling breakdowns, unresponsive project managers, and delayed follow-up repairs plague a meaningful chunk of experiences. Communication via email works better than phone calls for some customers, but many have waited months for callbacks on unfinished work.

How long does water extraction and drying typically take?
One customer's ruptured pipe inside wall required several weeks of careful drying with fans. Projects vary based on damage extent and complexity.
What's the best way to reach your team?

Most reviews describe a team that shows genuine care for people in crisis, arriving fast for emergencies and handling difficult jobs with professionalism.
