What started as a tiny yellow spot on my drywall spiraled into a homeowner's worst nightmare. That small blemish hinted at something much worse, a hidden leak from the second-floor bathroom that had spread black mold behind the walls. I was overwhelmed, but then Yuriy from Ursa Pro Restoration Inc. stepped in.
Yuriy was a true professional. He quickly assessed the situation, detected the source of the leak, and didn't waste a moment organizing mold remediation. Watching him manage the process with such confidence and expertise was a relief. Soon, the black mold was gone, the leak was addressed, and all the damaged areas were fully restored.
Thanks to Ursa Pro, my home is safe again. I can't recommend them enough, a 100% recommendation from me!
