While we are locally owned, we are backed by the resources and national network of Paul Davis, giving you the best of both worlds.
WATER DAMAGE
Q: My commercial building has experienced significant water damage. What should I do first?
A: Call us immediately at 270-782-0123. Time is critical — the longer water sits, the more structural damage occurs and the greater the risk of mold growth. While you wait for our team to arrive, shut off the water source if it is safe to do so, avoid entering areas with standing water, and document the damage with photos if you can do so safely.
Q: How quickly can you respond to a water damage emergency at our Bowling Green business?
A: Our team responds within minutes of your call, any time of day or night. Fast response is essential in commercial water damage situations to minimize downtime, protect inventory and equipment, and reduce the risk of secondary damage such as mold. And can be onsite within an hour.
Q: Do you handle large-scale commercial water losses?
A: Absolutely. We specialize in large loss commercial situations — from multi-tenant buildings and big-box retail to industrial facilities and hotels.
Q: Can you work around our business hours to minimize disruption?
A: Yes. We understand that when your business is stopped, your revenue is too. Our team works to minimize disruption to your operations and, where possible, can work during off-hours to help keep your business running while restoration is underway.
FIRE & SMOKE DAMAGE
Q: Our Bowling Green business suffered a fire. What does the restoration process look like?
A: After ensuring the scene has been cleared by the fire department and is safe to enter, our team will assess the full extent of fire, smoke, and water damage (from firefighting efforts). We then move through emergency stabilization, debris removal, smoke and soot cleaning, odor elimination, contents cleaning, and finally structural repair and reconstruction — all the way back to pre-loss condition or better.
Q: Can you handle smoke and soot damage even if the fire was relatively minor?
A: Yes. Even a small fire can leave significant smoke and soot damage throughout a commercial space, affecting walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, equipment, and inventory. Our certified technicians have the tools and expertise to fully remediate smoke damage and eliminate odors so your space is safe and occupiable again.
MOLD REMEDIATION
Q: Do you test for mold at commercial properties?
A: No — Paul Davis Restoration of Bowling Green does not perform mold testing. We treat visible mold. If you suspect mold but cannot see it, you will need to hire an independent, certified industrial hygienist to conduct testing first. Once mold has been confirmed and identified by a third-party tester, we can then provide remediation services.
Q: Can you refer me to a mold testing company in the Bowling Green area?
A: Yes. We can provide a referral to an industrial hygienist professional in the area. Please note that this referral carries no affiliation with Paul Davis Restoration of Bowling Green — they are a separate, independent company. Call us at 270-782-0123 to get that referral.
Q: What is the difference between mold testing and mold remediation?
A: Mold testing is the process of identifying whether mold is present, what type it is, and how extensive the contamination is. This must be performed by an independent, certified mold inspector or industrial hygienist — not a remediation contractor. Mold remediation is the physical removal and treatment of confirmed visible mold, which is the service Paul Davis of Bowling Green provides.
Q: Why do I need a third-party mold test before you can remediate?
A: Industry best practice — and the ethical standard — is to keep testing and remediation separate. Having an independent company test ensures unbiased results and protects you as the property owner. Once testing confirms the presence and scope of mold, our remediation team can create an accurate scope of work and properly treat the affected areas.
Q: What does your commercial mold remediation process involve?
A: Once we have a confirmed mold report from an independent tester, our certified team will contain the affected area to prevent spore spread, remove and dispose of mold-contaminated materials, treat and clean affected surfaces using industry-approved antimicrobial agents, and restore any structural elements that were damaged. Our goal is to return your commercial space to a safe and healthy condition.
STORM & WIND DAMAGE
Q: A storm has caused significant damage to our commercial building in Bowling Green. What can Paul Davis do?
A: We handle the full spectrum of commercial storm damage, including roof damage, structural damage from fallen trees or debris, window and door damage, interior water intrusion from storm breaches, and complete reconstruction. We also provide emergency board-up and tarping to secure your property right away.
Q: Do you provide emergency board-up and tarping services for storm-damaged commercial properties?
A: Yes. Emergency stabilization — including board-up, tarping, and temporary structural support — is one of the first steps we take after a storm event to protect your property from further damage while full restoration work is planned.
INSURANCE & CLAIMS
Q: Do you work with commercial insurance companies?
A: Yes. We work with all major commercial insurance carriers and have extensive experience navigating the claims process. We can assist with documentation, provide detailed damage assessments, and communicate directly with adjusters to help streamline your claim.
Q: How do I assign a claim to Paul Davis of Bowling Green?
A: You can assign a claim directly through our website at bowling-green.pauldavis.com/assign-a-claim or by calling us at 270-782-0123. Our team will guide you through the next steps and coordinate with your insurance carrier.
