When most people think of Lynchburg, one thing comes to mind; Jack Daniels. But there’s a lot more to this town than just a famous distillery.

How We Restore Your Property


Rainbow Restoration's team of specialists will assess the extent and source of water damage at your property. Using sophisticated equipment like thermal imaging cameras, we can detect hidden areas of flooding or mold growth on your property. After our assessment, we develop a plan for mold removal and damage restoration. We also document all of our findings for your use in filing an insurance claim.

Once we complete our assessment, we set to work extracting any standing water with industrial-grade pumps. Our technicians monitor moisture levels to ensure proper extraction.

After we have removed the water, we dry the area using specialized dehumidifiers and dryers to remove moisture from affected areas and prevent new mold spores from growing.

Our team rigorously cleans the area to disinfect it and stop the spread of mold. We use surface and deep cleaning techniques to remove traces of mold, improve air quality and deodorize the property.
