CARLSBAD, CA, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) In 2011, flood damage in the United States caused economic losses of more than $8 billion. In 2010, fires caused more than $11.6 billion in property damage. Each year, floods, fires and other natural disasters combine to create catastrophic financial problems for home and property owners across the country. This expense can be greatly increased if the wrong contractor or restoration specialist is chosen. In some cases, poor restoration can cause irreparable damage to possessions and homes.
Superior Restoration, a San Diego-based water damage, fire and mold remediation company, has prepared four tips for selecting a reputable restoration company. Superior Restoration recommends taking the following precautions before hiring a water, fire or mold restoration company:
- Talk with the Better Business Bureau- The Better Business Bureau is a great resource for finding problems with restoration and other companies. Only work with legitimate companies that hold a good standing with the BBB. Better Business Bureau accredited companies are an even safer choice.
- Ask for References- Many restoration companies will provide references and testimonials from past clients. Check these references and talk with past clients when possible. Past clients can provide insight into the type of service and quality of work performed by a restoration company.
- Get an Estimate (In Writing If Possible)- Always get an estimate before restoration work begins. The estimate should include both expected charges and an estimated completion time. Estimates sometimes need to change as the project progresses, but any changes should be approved before the additional work commences.
- Ask for a Contract- Make sure you have a written contract signed before work starts. This will protect both the client and the restoration company in case of a dispute or problem. Store the contract in a safe location and refer to it if problems arise during the restoration process.
"These tips can't eliminate the damage caused by floods, fires or earthquakes," says Gabe Prieto, president of Superior Restoration. "But they can help homeowners to get the help they need to rebuild their lives after an emergency."
Flood, mold and fire damage happen. An experienced restoration company can help resolve these issues when they occur. These tips from Superior Restoration will help homeowners to choose reputable companies for their restoration needs.

Disarming disease-causing bacteria
2012-04-05
Scientists could produce new antibacterial treatments by disarming the molecular pumps bacteria use to bring disease causing molecules in contact with animals and humans.
Research published today in Nature Structure and Molecular Biology showed a protein complex called the Translocation and Assembly Module (TAM), forms a type of molecular pump, allowing bacteria to shuttle key disease causing molecules from inside the bacterial cell where they are made, to the outside surface, priming the bacteria to infect other organisms.
The international research collaboration, ...
Gene mutation identified as contributor to autism spectrum disorders
2012-04-05
There is little argument among experts that autism spectrum disorders (ASD), complex developmental disabilities that vary widely in their severity, are caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Advances in genome sequencing now permit scientists to uncover specific mutations in DNA that are associated with ASD at unprecedented resolution. Such data are vital to understanding the genetic basis of the disorder.
A new study co-authored by UCLA researchers has led to a better understanding of the genetic contribution to autism using this new approach. By comparing ...
To prevent leukemia's dreaded return, go for the stem cells
2012-04-05
Researchers reporting in the April Cell Stem Cell, a Cell Press publication, have found a way to stop leukemia stem cells in their tracks. The advance in mice suggests that a combination approach to therapy might stamp out chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) for good.
That's in contrast to the vast majority of CML patients taking drugs like imatinib (aka Gleevec) today, who often go into remission only to see their cancer return again. It is those lingering leukemia stem cells, which stubbornly resist existing therapies, that fuel the cancer's comeback.
"Imatinib inhibits ...
Tackling dyslexia before kids learn to read
2012-04-05
For children with dyslexia, the trouble begins even before they start reading and for reasons that don't necessarily reflect other language skills. That's according to a report published online on April 5 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, that for the first time reveals a causal connection between early problems with visual attention and a later diagnosis of dyslexia.
"Visual attention deficits are surprisingly way more predictive of future reading disorders than are language abilities at the prereading stage," said Andrea Facoetti of the University of Padua ...
Heightened sensitivity to cheap, high-calorie food is linked with obesity
2012-04-05
Obesity is increasing worldwide in adults and children and is currently viewed by many as one of the most serious threats to public health. It is likely that solutions to the obesity pandemic will require changes in public policy and that scientific insight into obesity will be invaluable for guiding those changes. Now, a new review of human brain imaging studies published by Cell Press in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism suggests that a major reason for the dramatic increase in obesity may be a heightened sensitivity to heavily advertised and easily accessible ...
Active older adults less likely to experience psychological distress
2012-04-05
In a study examining the relationship between physical activity and physical function, researchers from Australia discovered that older adults who experienced any level of psychological distress were more than four times more likely to experience functional limitation than those who did not. This study is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Led by Gregory Kolt, PhD, of the University of Western Sydney, School of Science and Health, researchers analyzed data from nearly 100,000 Australian men and women, aged 65 and older, who participated in the ...
New stem cell line provides safe, prolific source for disease modeling and transplant studies
2012-04-05
Researchers have generated a new type of human stem cell that can develop into numerous types of specialized cells, including functioning pancreatic beta cells that produce insulin. Called endodermal progenitor (EP) cells, the new cells show two important advantages over embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells: they do not form tumors when transplanted into animals, and they can form functional pancreatic beta cells in the laboratory.
"Our cell line offers a powerful new tool for modeling how many human diseases develop," said study leader Paul J. Gadue, ...
Affordable Care Act protections would have provided nearly $2 billion in consumer rebates
2012-04-05
April 5, 2012, New York, NY—Consumers nationwide would have received an estimated $2 billion in rebates from health insurers if the new medical loss ratio (MLR) rules enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act had been in effect in 2010, according to a new study from The Commonwealth Fund. The MLR rules, which went into effect in 2011, aim to control private insurance costs for consumers and government by requiring a minimum percentage of premium dollars to be spent on medical care and health care quality improvement, as opposed to administrative costs and corporate profits. ...
Manipulating the immune system to develop 'next-gen' vaccines
2012-04-05
The discovery of how a vital immune cell recognises dead and damaged body cells could modernise vaccine technology by 'tricking' cells into launching an immune response, leading to next-generation vaccines that are more specific, more effective and have fewer side-effects.
Scientists from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have identified, for the first time, how a protein found on the surface of immune cells called dendritic cells recognises dangerous damage and trauma that could signify infection.
Dendritic cells are critical for raising the alarm about the presence ...
Study links Google search behavior to GDP
2012-04-05
Internet users from countries with a higher per capita gross domestic product (GDP) are more likely to search for information about the future than information about the past, a quantitative analysis of Google search queries has shown.
The findings, published today in the journal Scientific Reports, suggest there may be a link between online behaviour and real-world economic indicators.
"The Internet is becoming ever more deeply interwoven into the fabric of global society", said Helen Susannah Moat, research associate in UCL's Department of Mathematics and one of ...
