Saying About Us

"The office support and expert training the 1-800 WATER DAMAGE brand offers is exceptional. As a 20 year veteran of the fire service, I did not consider myself an expert in business. I am great with people, and turning a negative situation into a positive result, but the 1-800 WATER DAMAGE home office support and learning from the best in the business is what helped me make my decision."

- Nathan D.
1-800 WATER DAMAGE of West Tampa
"DUCTZ gives me the sense of family that no matter which job I am on, I am able to find a friendly face. The long term relationships created across the BELFOR family along with the increased demographics were a deciding factor in choosing to convert my business to a DUCTZ franchise. The world is now open to me and I'm confident I will build a strong and supported business that I am able to leave to my family"

- Brian S.
DUCTZ of Raleigh
"The strong reputation and backing of BELFOR made me very confident that joining the 1-800 WATER DAMAGE brand was the right decision. The ability to ensure the health and safety of our clients through training provided by 1-800 WATER DAMAGE experts really stood out from the competition. With the backing of BELFOR, I know I can call on the help of my colleagues if we ever get into a situation that requires further subject matter expertise."

- Jason B.
1-800 WATER DAMAGE of Western North Carolina
