Why Columbus Homeowners Choose iDry
Since 1995, Curtis Teets and his crew have answered the 2am calls. National chains route you to a call center out of state. You never talk to the person who shows up. iDry answers the phone, arrives in 60 minutes, and stays until the job is done right.
No callbacks, no delays. A crew reaches your door within 60 minutes — day or night, weekends and holidays. Gear is staged and ready. Extraction starts the moment the team arrives.
Founded here in 1995. Curtis Teets knows which Clintonville basements flood every spring, which Upper Arlington homes develop basement mold from clay soil, and which Westerville neighborhoods have aging copper pipes. That pattern recognition comes from 1,000+ local projects.
Your claim file starts immediately. The crew photos damage, logs moisture readings, and builds Xactimate paperwork before the adjuster arrives. Most Columbus policies cover sudden water damage — iDry ensures yours pays.
One crew, one call. Water damage leads to mold. Mold causes odor. Hoarding involves all three. Instead of hiring four companies, you call iDry. The full chain is handled — no gaps, no finger-pointing, no delays.
Hiring one crew instead of four is simpler and safer. One team tracks moisture from extraction through drying through mold treatment through odor removal. Every reading and photo goes into one file for your adjuster from day one. All restoration work follows IICRC S500 (water damage), S520 (mold remediation), and S540 (smoke/soot) standards.

Kendra Turner ★★★★★
iDry Columbus went above and beyond for my family when we had a water emergency. They responded quickly, communicated clearly through the whole process, and left our home in great shape. Curtis and the team treated us like family, not as another job.

David Warner ★★★★★
The way Curtis and his crew handled our situation was old school in the best way — honest, respectful, and thorough. They cleaned out years of buildup without judgment and left the property ready for renovation. Communication was clear from start to finish.
-
Stacy Connelly ★★★★★
We had a mold problem in our basement that two other companies failed to fix properly. iDry came in, identified the source of moisture, and remediated everything correctly. The musty smell is completely gone and the basement is dry. Professional, on time, and fair pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from Columbus homeowners about water damage, mold, odor, and restoration costs. Answered directly — no filler.
How quickly should I call for water damage?
Call within the first hour. Water damage costs double every 24 hours it sits untreated — mold colonizes within 48 hours in Columbus’s humidity. iDry Columbus dispatches a crew to any Franklin County address within 60 minutes, 24/7 including holidays. Call 614-810-0000 now.
What does water damage restoration include?
The process is sequential: emergency water extraction, structural drying with commercial fans, moisture mapping to confirm dry standards, anti-microbial treatment, and full insurance paperwork. iDry Columbus provides Xactimate line-item pricing from the first minute on-site. Call 614-810-0000.
How much does mold remediation cost in Columbus?
Most Columbus mold jobs cost $1,500 to $8,000 based on size, mold type, and access. Crawl space and attic work runs higher due to confined spaces. iDry Columbus offers free mold checks with clear Xactimate pricing before any work starts. See our full mold cost breakdown or call 614-810-0000.
What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Mold removal cleans visible growth. Mold remediation eliminates the moisture source, seals off the area with HEPA filters, removes damaged materials, and treats what remains. Remediation prevents recurrence. Removal alone does not. iDry follows IICRC S520 standards on every project. Free checks: 614-810-0000.
Is water damage restoration worth it?
Untreated water damage leads to structural rot, mold colonization, and property value loss that costs five to ten times more later. A crew within 24 hours preserves your home’s structure and resale value. iDry Columbus documents everything for insurance from day one. See our cost guide or call 614-810-0000.
How do I choose a restoration company in Columbus?
Look for a local, owner-run company with verifiable history, 24/7 response, clear Xactimate pricing, and the ability to handle water, mold, odor, and biohazard. Avoid franchise call centers with 1-800 numbers. Confirm the arriving crew is the same team through project completion. Learn about the iDry team or call 614-810-0000.
Does insurance cover water damage restoration?
Most Franklin County homeowner policies cover sudden water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, storm damage. Slow leaks and deferred maintenance are typically excluded. iDry provides full Xactimate paperwork from the first visit, in the format adjusters use for claims. Free consult: 614-810-0000.
What should I do immediately after discovering water damage?
Stop the water source if safe. Move valuables to dry areas. Do not use household fans — they spread contaminants. Document damage with photos for insurance. Call a professional restoration crew immediately. Every hour of standing water increases mold risk and structural damage in Columbus homes. Call iDry: 614-810-0000.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Most Columbus water damage jobs take three to five days for drying and four to seven days total. Timeline depends on water volume, affected materials, and crew arrival time. iDry starts extraction within 60 minutes and monitors moisture daily until readings hit dry standard. Call 614-810-0000 to get started.
Can I stay in my home during water damage restoration?
In most cases, yes. If damage is in one area, the iDry crew seals off the work zone so you can use the rest of the house. Sewage backups or large mold situations may require temporary relocation. The crew tells you on-site — no guessing. Insurance typically covers added living expenses. Call 614-810-0000 for a free assessment.
