Provider snapshot
What this listing says
Tampa Bay homeowners dealing with water damage or mold after hurricanes or pipe bursts who want a franchise-backed crew with a named project manager on every job.
Best for
- Tampa Bay area homeowners needing water extraction or mold remediation after storms, pipe bursts, or leaks.
- Property owners who want a single company to handle water damage and the mold that often follows, under one project manager.
- Commercial property managers needing a restoration company that coordinates directly with insurance adjusters.
- Homeowners in Valrico, Riverview, Brandon, or Parrish who want same-day or next-day response for emergency water damage.
- Buyers who value a consistent crew — the same technicians (Robert, Andy, Aaron, JC, Troy) appear across years of reviews.
About this company
Restoration 1 of Tampa Bay is a franchise location of the Restoration 1 national network, based on Falkenburg Road in Tampa. Owner Dave Adams runs the operation, which covers water damage, fire damage, mold remediation, air duct cleaning, and sewage cleanup across Tampa Bay and surrounding communities including Valrico, Riverview, Brandon, and Parrish.
The mold remediation side follows the ANSI/IICRC S520 standard and uses HEPA-filtered equipment. They handle both mold testing and remediation in-house, which is a conflict of interest worth knowing about. On the water damage side, they mention IICRC-certified technicians and follow the S500 standard. The company also does air duct cleaning, crime scene and trauma cleanup, and fire damage reconstruction including emergency board-up and roof tarping.
Dave Adams has deep local roots. One reviewer who has known him for 20 years praised the quality of his work. Multiple reviews reference hurricane response, including Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Milton, which tracks with a Tampa Bay operation. The franchise model means national training and resources, but the local crew is the same team showing up to your house.
A perfect 5.0 rating across 139 Google reviews is extremely unusual. No business gets this kind of volume at a perfect score without genuine consistency. The reviews span from 2021 through 2026 and name the same core crew repeatedly, which suggests low turnover and a stable operation.

Review consensus
Robert is the most frequently named staff member, appearing in dozens of reviews as the project manager who does initial assessments, explains the plan, and manages the job from start to finish. Reviewers describe him as knowledgeable and responsive, often arriving the same day. Andy and Aaron are the most-mentioned technicians, praised for punctuality, clean workspaces, and willingness to explain the process. Troy and JC round out the field crew, with multiple reviewers naming all four together on the same job. Allie handles scheduling and gets credit for fast turnaround. Traci (also spelled Tracy) manages communication and insurance paperwork, with several reviewers specifically thanking her. Dave Adams, the owner, is praised for hands-on involvement, especially during hurricane season. Same-day or next-day response is the most consistent theme. Multiple reviewers mention that the crew identified the source of the leak when other companies missed it.
0 found across 139 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews from the last 18 months to evaluate. With 139 total reviews at a 5.0 rating, there are simply no recent complaints in the record.
The same core team — Robert, Andy, Aaron, JC, Troy — appears consistently from 2021 through 2026. This kind of crew stability is rare in restoration work, where technician turnover is typically high. It suggests the franchise is well-managed locally. The franchise model also means the company benefits from national training and processes, which may contribute to the consistency reviewers describe. Several reviewers are repeat customers or referral sources (property managers, condo associations), which reinforces the pattern of reliable performance over time.
Robert (project manager — praised repeatedly for knowledge, same-day assessments, and clear communication). Andy (technician — praised for professionalism, punctuality, and clean work). Aaron (technician — praised for hard work and passion for the job). JC (technician — praised as part of the core crew). Troy (technician — praised for good energy and fast work). Allie (scheduling — praised for quick turnaround). Traci/Tracy (office/communications — praised for managing insurance paperwork and keeping customers updated). Dave/David Adams (owner — praised for hands-on involvement and long-standing community presence). Steve (reconstruction — praised for quality wall and rebuild work). Mike/Michael (technician — praised in older reviews). Jeanette (technician — praised for friendliness). Tony (technician — mentioned handling mold remediation). Riley (technician — mentioned in one review). Erin (technician — mentioned in one review).
This is a well-run franchise operation with a stable crew and a perfect rating across 139 reviews. Ask for Robert as your project manager, since he is the common thread in nearly every positive review. The only real caution is the testing-and-remediation conflict of interest — get a second opinion on any mold testing results before agreeing to a large remediation scope.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company deciding you have a problem is the one getting paid to fix it. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation scope.
- This is a Restoration 1 franchise, not an independent local company. The national brand sets training standards and processes, but the local owner (Dave Adams) runs day-to-day operations. If you care about independence from franchise oversight, know what you are getting.
- Their primary identity is water damage restoration, not mold. Mold work often comes as a follow-on to water damage jobs. If you have a standalone mold problem unrelated to water damage, confirm they treat it with the same rigor.
- The service area covers Tampa Bay broadly, and they mention serving Parrish (in Manatee County). Confirm they will travel to your specific location without delay or surcharge.
