When water, fire, or storm damage hits, minutes matter. We respond quickly to stop damage from spreading and start mitigation.
We locate hidden moisture, assess the scope of damage, and recommend the right restoration plan before repairs begin.
We can support the insurance process by documenting damage, sharing scope, and helping keep communication moving.
For covered claims, there’s typically no upfront cost. We can coordinate billing with your insurance and keep you updated.
Founder & CEO
Local, owner-led restoration focused on fast response, clear communication, and reliable documentation—so homeowners and partners can move the process forward with confidence.
Plus Restoration works with homeowners, property managers, plumbers, and insurance professionals to respond quickly, document conditions accurately, and keep projects moving from mitigation through next steps.
Josh leads every project with a hands-on approach—showing up, assessing the situation, and making sure the plan is clear from day one. He prioritizes fast mitigation, clean documentation, and consistent updates so customers and partners aren’t left guessing.
Javano helps run day-to-day operations with a focus on timelines, coordination, and keeping projects moving smoothly. From scheduling and crew support to partner communication, he works behind the scenes to make the process efficient and organized.
We deliver faster dry times, better results, and less disruption by arriving fully prepared with professional-grade equipment.
Fast response for water mitigation, extraction, drying, and cleanup across the Twin Cities.
When a pipe bursts, water spreads fast. We shut off the source (when possible), extract water, dry the area, and prevent further damage.
Flooded basements need quick action to reduce structural damage. We remove standing water, dry thoroughly, and restore affected areas safely.
Minnesota cold can cause pipes to crack without warning. We respond fast to mitigate damage, begin cleanup, and start the drying process.
Wind-driven rain can enter through roofs, windows, and foundations. We secure the area, remove water, and start restoration quickly.
Sewage backups require professional handling for safety and sanitation. We remove contaminated water, disinfect, and restore your space.
Dishwashers, washers, and water heaters can cause hidden damage. We locate the source, dry impacted areas, and prevent long-term issues.

Complete documentation, photos, moisture readings, and claim support from start to finish.
We coordinate with your adjuster and provide the scope needed to keep everything moving.
You focus on getting back to normal while we handle mitigation, communication, and next steps.
Start with safety: If water is near outlets, appliances, or the breaker panel, shut off power to the affected area (only if it’s safe to do so). If the water source is known, shut off the valve (or main). For larger flooding, avoid standing water until it’s assessed.
Document the damage: Take quick photos/video of affected rooms and items for insurance.
Prevent further spread: Move valuables to a dry area and place foil/blocks under furniture legs if possible.
Call a restoration team ASAP: Quick extraction and drying reduces structural damage and helps prevent mold growth—especially in basements and drywall.
Mold can begin developing in as little as 24–48 hours when materials stay damp—especially drywall, insulation, carpet padding, and wood framing. Minnesota humidity swings (summer storms, wet basements, frozen pipe breaks) can accelerate problems if drying isn’t thorough.
The goal is to get moisture levels down quickly using extraction, air movement, dehumidification, and targeted drying. A restoration team can also check for “hidden” moisture behind walls and under flooring.
Often, yes—when the water damage is sudden and accidental (burst pipe, appliance failure, supply line leak, ice dam damage depending on policy). Coverage varies by carrier and policy.
What’s commonly not covered: long-term or neglected leaks, and many policies exclude flooding from outside unless you have separate flood coverage. Sewage backup may require a specific endorsement.
We can help you document the loss, provide drying logs/moisture readings, and work alongside your adjuster to support the claim process.
Sometimes, but not always. Even a small fire can leave behind unsafe air quality (soot particles, smoke residue, chemical odors) and hidden damage (electrical, HVAC contamination, insulation). If you smell smoke strongly, see soot, or have irritation, it’s best to avoid staying in the affected area.
If the fire department cleared the structure, you may be able to occupy parts of the home—but we recommend a professional assessment to determine what needs to be contained and cleaned safely.
As soon as possible. Soot and smoke residues are acidic and can permanently stain and corrode surfaces over time. Electronics, metals, upholstery, and porous materials are especially vulnerable.
Quick action helps with:
We can set up containment, air filtration, and begin content cleaning/restoration to maximize what can be saved.
Smoke odor removal usually takes a multi-step approach:
Covering the smell with sprays rarely works long-term—removing the residue is the key.
Hidden mold often shows up as:
Moisture can be trapped behind finished walls and under flooring. A moisture inspection can confirm what’s going on without guessing.
It can be serious, but “black mold” is often used as a catch-all term. Some molds are darker in color, and not all are the same. The bigger concern is visible growth + moisture source and whether anyone in the home has asthma, allergies, or immune sensitivity.
If you see widespread growth, smell strong mustiness, or have symptoms, treat it as urgent: limit exposure, avoid disturbing it (scrubbing can release spores), and address the moisture source. We can assess the situation, set containment, remove impacted materials, and dry the structure properly.
Small surface spots on non-porous materials (like tile) can sometimes be cleaned safely if the area is minor and you address the moisture source.
You should call a professional when:
The main risk with DIY is spreading spores and missing hidden moisture—proper containment and drying are what prevent repeat problems.
Emergency board-up / tarping is done to stop further damage and secure the property. Typical steps:
Fast tarping and dry-out can prevent a small storm loss from turning into a major interior rebuild.
You (the policyholder) officially file the claim, but we can make the process easier by providing:
Every carrier is different, but our goal is to help you move quickly, reduce stress, and keep the restoration process organized and well-documented.
Here’s the safest order:
Tree impacts often cause hidden roof and truss damage—getting a professional assessment early prevents surprises later.
