Services
What we help with
We cover the four property-damage emergencies homeowners face most:
Water damage restoration
Emergency water extraction, structural drying and repair after a burst pipe, leak or flood.
Mold remediation
Inspection, containment and removal — mold is downstream of nearly every water loss.
Fire damage restoration
Board-up, soot and smoke cleanup, odor removal and rebuild after a house fire.
Storm damage repair
Roof tarping, water cleanup and structural repair after wind, hail and tornadoes.

Our role
We connect — we don’t restore
DisasterStatus is a referral service, not a restoration company — think of it like Angi or Thumbtack, but focused on property-damage restoration. We do not perform restoration, send crews, or answer the service calls; a participating local pro does. Our job is to match you with a professional who serves your area, fast, when something has gone wrong in your home.
Vetting
What we mean by “vetted”
We aim to connect you only with professionals who are licensed and insured for the work, and — where it applies to restoration — hold IICRC certification. You should still confirm those details before you hire: our guide on how to vet a restoration contractor walks through the questions to ask and the red flags to avoid, and you can verify certified firms directly through the IICRC locator.
Privacy
Why account-free
There’s no sign-up and no account. When you call, we connect you to the right local pro and store nothing on our side beyond what’s needed to route your request. That keeps the service simple and your data minimal — see our privacy policy for details.
The operator
Who runs DisasterStatus
DisasterStatus is operated by DevRig LLC, Wyoming, USA — an independent company. We are not affiliated with any single restoration contractor, which is why we can stay focused on matching you with whoever is best placed to help in your area rather than steering every job to one crew.
Our guides are written and reviewed by the DisasterStatus editorial team. Load-bearing facts — health guidance, drying windows, disaster and cost data — are cited inline to primary authorities such as the EPA, CDC, FEMA and NOAA, and every guide carries a "Last updated" date so you can see how current it is.
