Who we are
Emergency Restoration Across Delaware & Maryland
When water floods a floor or fire leaves smoke through a house, the first hours decide how much can be saved. We answer around the clock, arrive with the equipment to stop the damage spreading, and start documenting the loss immediately.
We have done this across Delaware and Maryland since 1986, from the beach towns of Sussex County to Salisbury, Cambridge and Easton. One call reaches a real teammate, not an answering service, and a Client Care Coordinator is assigned to your job so you always know who to ask.
- One point of contact for the whole job
- Insurance documentation handled for you
- Honest about what can be saved
- Emergency to finished rebuild, one company
What we do
What We Restore
Water, fire, mold, storm and commercial losses — plus the reconstruction work that puts a property back together afterwards. Every job runs through the same process, whether it is one wet bathroom or an entire building.
ResidentialCommercial
Fire Damage Restoration
Fire cleanup, smoke and soot removal, odor treatment, and the water firefighting leaves behind. Board-up for fire-damaged homes and emergency roof tarping after a fire.

Mold Remediation
Containment, HEPA filtration, controlled removal and correcting whatever is keeping the material wet. C&B does not do mold testing. A third-party hygienist does all testing and writes the protocol. We remediate from that protocol.

Storm Damage Restoration
The interior damage a storm drives inside — water through a compromised roof or window, soaked drywall, insulation and framing. Exterior repair goes to your roofer.

Commercial
Commercial Restoration
Water, fire and mold damage to commercial interiors, with containment so the rest of the building keeps operating and scheduling around your hours.

The full rebuild once everything is dry, from the repair scope to material selections like cabinets, flooring and paint, so the company that handled the emergency also puts the property back together.

The drying crew leaves, and you are left finding a builder to put the property back together.

Our process
From Chaos to Complete™
Every job runs the same way, whether it is one wet bathroom or an entire building.
We stabilize the property, stop the damage spreading, take photos and moisture readings, and flag any immediate safety concerns.
On site within 90 minutes
A free inspection maps hidden damage. Drying equipment runs 24 hours a day, and most projects take 3 to 7 days, though some take longer.
Free inspections
Once materials are dry, our full-service rebuild takes over: we review the scope and your selections, keep you updated on scheduling, and complete the work through to a final walkthrough.

Common questions
Common Questions
Still have questions? Call (302) 381-9891 — answered 24 hours a day.
Do you answer the phone at night and on weekends?
Yes. Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, every day. Call (302) 381-9891 and you will reach us, not an answering service.
Will you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We work with all insurance companies and handle the documentation, photos and project updates your carrier needs throughout the job. Our Adjuster Liaison supplies that paperwork, and we price the work with Xactimate.
Does insurance cover everything?
Coverage varies by policy and is determined by your insurance carrier based on your policy and the cause of loss. We document the loss thoroughly so your carrier has what it needs, but we cannot tell you what will be covered.
How long does drying take?
Most drying projects take 3 to 7 days, though some take longer. Drying equipment runs 24 hours a day for best results, and it should stay running as directed. We take moisture readings throughout so we know when materials are genuinely dry rather than just dry to the touch.
Do you handle the rebuild too?
Yes. Once mitigation is complete, we plan the repairs with you. Our renovations team can handle the full rebuild, or you can bring in a contractor of your choice for specific work. Timing depends on insurance approvals, material selections and scheduling, and we'll talk it through at the walkthrough.
Why can't everything be dried and saved?
Many materials can be dried and kept, and that is always our preference. Some have to be removed to protect your property and your health, usually because of contamination or how long they stayed wet. We will tell you which is which and why before anything is taken out.
What areas do you serve?
Six counties across Delaware and Maryland's Eastern Shore: Sussex and Kent in Delaware, and Worcester, Wicomico, Dorchester and Talbot in Maryland. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call and we will tell you straight away.
