Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!
Professional, clear and always keeping connected with the client. Mr. Octavio Urbina was always notifying us of each and every step, accepting and honoring all of our requests while working on the construction. The job was easily done at the promised time, and no damages or any other minor mess was made. The payment portion was also upfront and honest, never had to argue or hassle, just a really honest company. Will definitely recommend for any and all repair work for house!

Miguel Shiell
We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.
We needed an expert second opinion from an independent fire restoration company after we had an issue with the one our insurance provided. Manny absolutely went above and beyond, making time the same day we called to go out to our house after his workday ended and provided us with thorough and incredibly knowledgeable advice - all on the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We couldn’t be more impressed and grateful for his outstanding service and professionalism.

They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable.
I had a flood where both my top floor bathroom and bottom foyer area were flooded. I looked up mitigation services and I came upon Barex. Omar and Manny came out to my home and they were both professional and down to earth. They listened to my concerns and were extremely personable. Omar made sure that I felt comfortable with the entire process and I appreciated his bedside manner Thank you Omar and Barex.

They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened.
We’d been fighting bathroom mold forever and nothing worked until Barex showed up. They opened the wall, took out all the bad stuff, dried everything properly and fixed it like it never happened. The wall looks brand new now and the smell is gone. Super easy to talk to, explained what they were doing, and didn’t cut corners. And Lucia from customer service was amazing, patiently answering all our questions. Feels great to finally have our bathroom back.

They saved my family from mold in our home.
I’d recommend this company to anyone! They saved my family from mold in our home. We discovered mold in the home when my kid kept getting sick and discovered there was a water leak. They responded quickly and helped get the mold. They opened the walls cleaned it and gased our house with no issues and even showed us what was there. When they fixed the wall it looked like they were never there! They kept my home clean and overall were very efficient. I can’t thank them enough for their work!

About Barex
What Should I Do Immediately After Water Damage?
Shut off the water source if possible, turn off electricity to the affected area if water is near outlets, and move valuables out of the wet zone. Avoid using regular household fans on contaminated water, and call a professional restoration company as soon as possible, since the first 24 to 48 hours are critical for preventing mold growth.
How Much Does Water Damage Restoration Cost?
Costs typically range from $1,300 to $5,500, depending on the extent of the damage, with larger jobs involving structural drying, hardwood floor replacement, or drywall removal running higher. Barex provides a free assessment and detailed estimate before any work begins.
Is Water Damage Covered by Insurance?
Sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or storm-driven flooding, is usually covered by standard homeowners insurance. Damage from gradual leaks, poor maintenance, or long-term humidity issues is typically excluded. Flooding from external water sources, like storm surge, usually requires separate flood insurance.
How Long Can Water Sit Before Mold Grows?
Mold can begin growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. The exact timeline depends on humidity, temperature, and airflow, but fast water extraction and drying are essential to prevent secondary mold damage in any climate.
Is Water Damage Considered an Emergency?
Yes, water damage should always be treated as an emergency. The longer water sits, the greater the risk of structural damage, warped flooring, and mold growth. Barex offers emergency response for water damage to minimize both damage and restoration costs.
How Do Professionals Dry a House After Water Damage?
Restoration professionals use industrial air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters to monitor drying progress in real time, rather than just visually assessing when a space "looks" dry. This process typically takes three to five days and ensures moisture is removed from wall cavities and subflooring, not just surface areas.
