What Puyallup Homeowners Say About DryMark Restoration Puyallup
Reviews in damage restoration carry more weight than in most trades. A homeowner isn’t rating a haircut or a pizza; they’re recounting the moment water was pouring through their ceiling, or mold was spreading behind their child’s bedroom wall, or a fire left their kitchen unrecognizable. The review that matters is the one written three months later, after the drywall is painted, the moisture logs are submitted, and the insurance check cleared. We’ve earned ours by doing exactly what we document: showing up, photographing everything, and finishing with a written warranty. Alicia Brennan built this company in 2011 around a single observation from her years as a claims adjuster - the gap between what a restoration crew promised and what they documented was costing homeowners their claims. These reviews come from Puyallup neighbors who’ve been through that process with us.

“Our water heater let go at 11 p.m. on a Sunday in South Hill. By the time I found the shutoff, water had run through the utility closet, under the hallway, and into the carpet of our guest room. I called three companies. DryMark Restoration Puyallup was the only one where a live person answered. Alicia’s crew was at our door in 47 minutes with Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Injectidry floor mats. They took 147 photos before touching anything, handed me a written scope for $3,840 before they started extraction, and had daily moisture readings emailed to my adjuster by Wednesday. The carpet pad was unsalvageable, but they saved the subfloor. Haven Standard Clause 1 meant I knew the price before anyone pulled a hose.”

“Mold remediation in our 1974 rambler near Meridian. The previous owner had covered it with fresh paint, and we didn’t find it until the inspection for our refinance. DryMark Restoration Puyallup found Aspergillus and Penicillium behind the bathroom vanity and in the wall cavity adjacent to the shower. Alicia walked me through the containment setup - negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, the full protocol. What sold me was the documentation: every square foot of removed drywall photographed, the chain-of-custody lab results, the drying log showing vapor pressure differential dropped from 1.2 to 0.3 inches of mercury over four days. They billed our insurance directly. The 365-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on our paperwork, not just a website line.”

“Sewage backup in our basement after the February 2024 storm. Puyallup’s storm drains were overwhelmed on 5th Street SE, and raw sewage came up through our floor drain. I won’t describe the smell. DryMark Restoration Puyallup treated it as a Category 3 loss from the first phone call - full PPE, disposal to biohazard standards, not just ‘clean it up and hope.’ Alicia’s team documented the Category classification with photos for our homeowner’s policy, which mattered because our adjuster initially tried to classify it as Category 2. The written scope was $6,200 before they started. Every visit added to the photo record. They even caught that our baseboards had wicked contamination six inches above the visible water line - most crews would’ve painted over that.”

“Kitchen fire from a grease pan in December. Smoke damage went far beyond what I could see - the cabinets looked fine, but Alicia’s crew tested with dry sponges and found soot had traveled through the HVAC return into the living room and both bedrooms. DryMark Restoration Puyallup wrote the scope in two parts: emergency mitigation ($4,100) and reconstruction ($11,400), with the reconstruction scheduled after insurance approved, not pushed as same-day pressure. The photo record showed every cabinet face before removal, every stud after soda blasting, and the moisture content of the new lumber before drywall went up. Our adjuster said it was the cleanest documentation he’d seen in 2023.”
Dana S., Downtown Puyallup
“Second opinion that saved us $4,000. Another restoration company in Puyallup quoted full mold remediation for our crawl space - $8,700, start tomorrow, pressure to sign. Something felt off. I brought their written estimate to DryMark Restoration Puyallup. Alicia put on a respirator and went down herself. Turns out it was surface mildew on the vapor barrier, not structural mold. Two hours of HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment, $1,200, written price before she started. The Free Second Opinion isn’t a gimmick; it’s how they operate. She could’ve sold me the full job and I would’ve paid. Instead she documented what was actually there.”
Rafael R., South Hill, Puyallup
“Storm damage to our roof in January, water intrusion through the attic into our daughter’s bedroom ceiling. Three companies gave verbal estimates over the phone. DryMark Restoration Puyallup was the only one who wanted to see it first. Alicia arrived with a moisture meter, a thermal camera, and a tablet. She found the leak had traveled horizontally along the top plate and saturated insulation in two wall bays the others would’ve missed. Written scope: $5,400 for mitigation, with a separate reconstruction estimate after drying targets hit. The Phoenix 200 HT dehumidifier ran for six days; I got daily psychrometric data - temperature, relative humidity, grains per pound - that I forwarded to my adjuster without editing. The 365-Day Done Right Promise meant something when we found a paint bubble at month four. They fixed it in two days, no invoice, no argument.”
