## The honest read

The inlet pipe to a water heater broke off while the family was out at dinner and dumped close to a foot of water in the basement. In a September 2026 Google review, the customer wrote that Arnold and Asim arrived promptly and worked through the night, and another crew of 4 finished the next day. SERVPRO of Meriden, based in Wallingford, Connecticut, does that kind of water, fire and mold cleanup, plus the rebuild afterward, and holds 4.9 stars from 305 Google ratings. The Better Business Bureau gives it an A+. Its Connecticut HIC license is active. The company's site claims 59 years in business and lists 24/7 emergency service.

The 2026 reviews name the crew members who did the work. An October 2026 customer wrote that Cesar and Alberto spent several hours cleaning and sanitizing a basement after a sewage backup. In September 2026, a reviewer said Chelly and Mara cleaned and removed mold in a full finished basement with bar and carpeting. An August 2026 reviewer wrote that Matt and the rebuild team rebuilt a basement after a water heater incident and brought it up to code. A March 2026 customer, whose husband was home after open-heart surgery, wrote that Maison and Claudio handled a flood from 4 burst pipes and took the extra steps his condition and medical equipment required.

The complaints are about money and equipment. In a July 2024 review, a customer wrote that the quote came in at twice the estimate, that the company then said it did not do renovation, and that a local company later judged the damage minor; that customer put the difference at over 6k against about 300. An April 2024 reviewer, happy with the work, was surprised the final cost was quite a bit more than the original verbal estimate. In May 2026, a customer gave 4 stars because the first dehumidifier did not work, though a phone call had it fixed within an hour.

**Strengths:**
- Flood response — 2026 crews worked overnight and cleaned basements
- Named crews — 2026 reviewers credit the workers by name
- Rebuild work — an August 2026 basement was brought up to code

**Concerns:**
- Estimates vs bills — two 2024 reviewers said costs exceeded estimates
- Equipment — a May 2026 dehumidifier failed, fixed within an hour
