CSG did an amazing job on renovating my basement. Work was fast, efficient and they helped point out some space saving changes that really helped maximize the space. The basement addition involved adding a bathroom, doing a complete reno of the space including living room, office, storage rooms, electrical room and Exercise room. The work was finished professionally and very fast. I’ve dealt with a number of workers in the past and these have been the best I’ve worked with. Highly recommended.
Their work exceeded my expectations. I finally found a professional renovation company I can confidently rely on. They did a complete floor replacement in all rooms and paint throughout. Communication was always clear and prompt. Owner, Zeev and his team worked with my special requests and the results were outstanding. Not a single detail was overlooked and I could not find a single flaw in the workmanship. They left everything spotless. It all looks amazing. Bonus; all the work was completed under the estimated time frame and I was very pleased with the reasonable cost of the entire job. CSG Renovation ticks all the boxes. Thank you Zeev!
We had a great experience working with Zeev! His team actually finished our condo renovations ahead of schedule and the quality of their work was excellent. I would recommend CSG and work with them again. Reasonably priced and a job done right. Thanks Zeev!

All about water damage restoration
Water damage is one of the most common and destructive issues homeowners and businesses face. Whether caused by a burst pipe, leaking roof, broken appliance, or severe weather, excess water can spread quickly, damage building materials, and create conditions for mold growth. Understanding the process of water damage restoration helps you act fast and protect your property.
What Is Water Damage Restoration?
Water damage restoration is the professional process of cleaning, drying, repairing, and restoring a property after it has been affected by water. The goal is not only to remove visible water but also to eliminate hidden moisture, prevent mold, and bring the property back to its safe, pre-damage condition.
Why Immediate Action Matters
- Time is critical in water damage situations:
- First few hours: Water seeps into walls, floors, and furniture.
- 24–48 hours: Mold and bacteria can begin to grow.
- After 48+ hours: Structural damage worsens, and repair costs increase.
- Prompt response reduces both the health risks and the financial impact.
The Restoration Process Step by Step
- Inspection & Assessment – Specialists evaluate the extent of the damage and identify safety risks.
- Water Extraction – Standing water is removed using industrial pumps and vacuums.
- Drying & Dehumidification – High-powered fans and dehumidifiers remove hidden moisture from walls, flooring, and air.
- Cleaning & Sanitizing – All affected areas are cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized to prevent mold and odors.
- Repairs & Restoration – Damaged drywall, flooring, or structural elements are repaired or replaced to restore the property fully.
Common Causes
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Overflow from sinks, bathtubs, or toilets
- Broken appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters)
- Roof or foundation leaks
- Flooding and heavy storms
- Sewage backups
Can You Handle It Yourself?
Minor leaks may be manageable with quick cleanup and drying, but larger incidents usually require professional restoration. Professionals have the tools to detect hidden moisture, ensure thorough drying, and handle contaminated water safely.
Insurance and Costs
Most homeowner insurance policies cover water damage if it’s sudden and accidental (such as a burst pipe). Damage from neglect or gradual leaks may not be covered. Costs vary depending on the size of the affected area and the severity of the damage, but quick action helps keep expenses under control.
