New Orleans is a smaller verified-restoration market than its flood history suggests — 17 firms passed our quality gate, and we list every one of them with real review data. What the 596 reviews reward is thoroughness: it's the top extracted theme by a wide margin, and mold — fifteen mentions in a modest corpus — is the recurring reason.
In a city where flood exposure is the baseline, the review record favors crews that treat every job like the humidity will punish shortcuts, because it will. Several of these firms carry fire-restoration tags too — full-scope operators are the norm here. Ask about metered dryness verification and mold prevention in base scope; NOLA reviewers judge on exactly that.

Pricing is driven by water category — clean supply-line water is far cheaper than sewage, because Category 3 requires removing and disposing of porous materials rather than drying them in place.
| Water category | Typical source | Per sq ft | Typical job |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 1 — Clean | Supply line, water heater | $3.00 – $4.00 | $1,300 – $2,800 |
| Cat 2 — Grey | Dishwasher, washing machine | $4.00 – $6.50 | $2,400 – $4,900 |
| Cat 3 — Black | Sewage, flood, groundwater | $7.00 – $7.50 | $4,200 – $9,800 |
What to do right now, before and while a crew is on the way.
Main shutoff first, then the breaker for any flooded area. Never step into standing water near an outlet.
Wide shots of each room, then close-ups with something for scale — before you move anything. Highest-leverage thing you do for your claim.
In that order. Mitigation delay is a common basis for reduced payout — most policies require you to prevent further damage.
Growth can begin within 24–48 hrs on wet drywall and carpet pad. After this window the scope — and cost — changes materially.
