Water damage can happen in any home or business in Montclair, CA. A small leak, a broken pipe, or a flood can quickly turn into a big problem. When water spreads, it seeps into carpets, walls, wood, and drywall. This can weaken the structure of your property and even lead to indoor mold. That is why fast and professional water damage restoration is important.
Preferred Restoration is here to help homeowners and businesses in Montclair. Our team provides emergency cleanup, drying, and repair services to bring your property back to normal.
Montclair homes and businesses may face water damage for many reasons:
Plumbing problems – burst pipes, toilet backups, or broken water heaters.
Roof leaks – rainstorms or damaged shingles letting water in.
Floods – heavy rain or storm damage causing water to enter your property.
Appliance leaks – dishwashers, washing machines, or refrigerators failing.
Sewage issues – blocked drains or backups causing hazardous water damage.
No matter the cause, quick action is key. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes.
We know you’d rather be doing anything else than worrying about an emergency repair. We’re never more than a click or call away!
EXCELLENT Based on 62 reviews Michelle D.April 23, 2025Verified A straight up honest broker who knows his stuff. Excellent communication and very helpful problem solving our mold issue Jessica M.April 1, 2025Verified Giving Eric a 5-star review, and we haven't even started any work yet. He came to gave us his professional opinion and quote to address a mold issue in our house. He is clearly very knowledgeable. His opinion was wildly different than the previous estimate we received, from an agency that wanted to charge us about 4 times as much. He did a much more thorough assessment, and explained his reasoning for why he felt that our issue wasn't as extreme as the previous agency. He even gave us some suggestions as to how we could address our issue on our own, if need be. He doesn't appear "out to get you"... there are a lot of companies that work off the "mold is gold" motto, but he doesn't seem to be one of them. If we end up going with him for the job, we'll update the review... but, I was just so happy and relieved with his approach, estimate, knowledge, and his overall professionalism. Glad there are still people like this out there! Ben T.March 10, 2025Verified Eric and his team were prompt and professional. From diagnosis through cleanup they were very thorough. Julia H.March 7, 2025Verified Above and beyond expectations. Eric and his team were not only helpful, kind, and relatable to our issues, they were extremely professional and reliable. Always answered our calls. Showed up on time with great attitudes. Respected our home. Most importantly, got the job done in a fast and timely manner. Can't recommend enough. Lorraine R.March 2, 2025Verified We had a leak under the kitchen sink and called another company first. We were told there is mold and they would have to tent the area to remove it and that we'd also need a whole new cabinet. Of course, it was pretty expensive and they said we couldn't use the kitchen for a couple weeks. Feeling it's always wise to get more than one estimate, I called Preferred Restoration as they had excellent reviews. Eric replied promptly and came out to look things over. He felt the mold wasn't bad enough to require a tent and also felt a whole new cabinet was not required. Needless to say, we accepted his estimate immediately and the work was done in a professional manner. (They don't do the carpentry work, but can make a recommendation.) I highly recommend Preferred Restoration. I believe it's an honest company with skilled professionals. William P.January 31, 2025Verified Eric the owner was great to work and keep me informed the entire time that the moisture was being removed from my home. Highly recommend Eric and his team for any job! Elizabeth R.January 3, 2025Verified Right from the start I knew I was going to be in good hands with this company. The response time was super quick and getting Eric to come out to my home to assess the situation was quicker than expected. Eric was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly. He took his time to listen to all my concerns to carefully address the issues in my home. He made a stressful situation feel less stressful and manageable. I definitely recommend this company and will contact Eric if needed in the future. Thanks again Eric! Binh N.December 5, 2024Verified We discovered a mold issue in one of our bedrooms and reached out to Preferred Restoration Services for guidance. Eric was extremely helpful in helping us navigate what needed to be done since we had no experience with this type of issue. He shepherded us through the process and helped us understand every step that needed to be performed. He referred us to a couple of contractors which we used for plumbing and testing and they were also excellent. This was helpful so that we didn't have to figure out who else we needed to work with and vet them as well. Everyone from Preferred Restoration Services was very professional, communication was excellent, and customer service was outstanding. We had a lot of questions and they were all answered very quickly. I highly recommend Preferred Restoration Services for any damage restoration needs. Tyler H.November 23, 2024Verified Preferred Restoration is the best service in town! If you want quality, fair pricing & guidance, call Preferred Restoration! Ask for Eric, he is very helpful and quick. Phil L.November 1, 2024Verified We had an issue with a sewer line that leaked and potentially needed some soil remediation under the house. I gave Eric a call and made an appointment for the next day for him to come out and assess the situation. Throughout the process his communication was great and he was on time (even gave me a call to let me know he was on his way). He went above an beyond to even check inside the house for potential water damage/mold. We did not have to move forward with any remediation. I appreciate Eric's communication, thoroughness, and HONESTY. We will keep his contact if we need any work in the future. I highly recommend Eric and Preferred Restoration!
