Why We Built This Company

Lamar Wilson founded Lexington KY Water Damage Restoration because property owners in central Kentucky deserved a restoration company that actually knew their homes. Lexington’s housing stock ranges from century-old stone cottages in Gratz Park to 1960s brick ranches in Kenwick to brand-new construction in Hamburg. Each type presents different water damage challenges, and a company with no local knowledge often misses them.

The Bluegrass region gets heavy spring rain, ice storms that freeze pipes, and humid summers that push mold growth in basements and crawl spaces. Town Branch Creek and the North Elkhorn watershed bring real flood risk to properties that Google’s flood maps sometimes miss. We have seen these conditions enough times to know where to look first and what to expect from Lexington’s soil, its drainage, and its aging pipe systems.

We started with a simple standard: respond faster than anyone else, document everything for the insurance adjuster, and do not leave until the structure is actually dry. That standard has not changed.

What We Do

We handle the full range of residential and commercial restoration work that Lexington property owners need after a water event. That includes:

How We Work With Your Insurance

Most water damage claims in Lexington go through homeowners insurance. We document every job in the way adjusters need to see it: photographs of the loss area before any work begins, moisture readings with calibrated meters at multiple points, a written description of the source of water, and a daily drying log that records when structural materials reached acceptable moisture levels.

We do not inflate estimates or recommend work that is not needed. Our documentation is straightforward because a clean, accurate claim record is what gets your home restored and your claim paid. If you have questions about your policy coverage before we begin, we can help you understand what to ask your agent.

Our Standards

We follow IICRC S500 standards for water damage restoration and S520 standards for mold remediation. The IICRC is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, the industry body that sets the technical standards restoration professionals use to determine when a structure has been properly dried. Moisture readings are taken with calibrated meters, not by feel. Drying is confirmed with data, not guesswork.

We carry full licensing and insurance for restoration work in Kentucky. Before any crew member starts work in your home, you know who they are and what they are there to do.
