Over 12 States
U.S. Presence

  • Backed by private equity (Trivest, later Knox Lane), the company has grown through strategic acquisitions across the U.S.
  • It provides round-the-clock emergency response for water, fire, smoke, and mold damage, paired with full reconstruction.
  • Typical projects range from residential flood and mold remediation to large-scale fire damage rebuilds.
