What this listing says
Greater Richmond homeowners who want a family-run restoration crew where Dillan handles the crawlspace assessment, mold work, and insurance coordination personally.
Best for
- Homeowners in greater Richmond, Powhatan, or the Tri-Cities area dealing with water damage or mold after a leak or flood.
- Home sellers who need crawlspace mold remediation or encapsulation completed quickly before closing.
- Buyers who want a single crew to handle water extraction, drying, mold removal, and insurance paperwork without subcontracting.
- Landlords and property managers who need a responsive team for emergency water or fire damage in rental properties.
- Homeowners who prefer working directly with the business owner rather than a call center or franchise dispatcher.
About this company
SRS is a veteran-owned, woman-owned family business based in Powhatan, VA, serving the greater Richmond and Tri-Cities area. Rob Whitver, a Navy veteran, founded the company and still answers every incoming call. Christy Whitver manages operations, and their son Dillan leads the field crew. When you call SRS, you talk to the owner; when the crew arrives, Dillan is the one doing the work.
Their mold remediation process includes surface testing, containment setup, removal of affected materials, HEPA vacuuming, and anti-microbial treatment. They follow up with lab retesting to confirm the mold is gone. They also handle crawlspace encapsulation, insulation replacement, and water extraction using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden damage. They coordinate directly with insurance adjusters, submitting photos and detailed estimates on your behalf.
SRS is a Powhatan Chamber of Commerce member with IICRC certification. Multiple reviews come from real estate agents and insurance agents who use them repeatedly, which signals reliability in transaction-driven situations where deadlines matter.
47 reviews and a 5.0-star Google rating is unusual for any restoration company. That kind of consistency across two-plus years of reviews, many from Local Guides and multi-review accounts, points to a small team that controls quality by staying small.
Services
Service area
SRS is based in Powhatan, VA and serves the greater Richmond and Tri-Cities area. Their website lists over 30 cities including Richmond, Midlothian, Chesterfield, Glen Allen, Ashland, Hopewell, and New Kent. The outer edges of their listed area — Blackstone, Cumberland, and Burkeville — are 50-70 miles from Powhatan, which is a wide radius for a small crew.
Review consensus
Dillan is named in the majority of reviews and draws consistent praise for same-day or next-day assessments, clear explanations of the remediation process, transparent pricing with no upselling, and strong communication throughout the job. Reviewers specifically note he drove out on a snow day for an emergency (Daniel C.), completed crawlspace work before a real estate closing deadline (Taylor Weems), and coordinated remotely with an out-of-state homeowner (Ethan and Alex Michael). Alec is named alongside Dillan in two reviews for being personable and detail-oriented. Rob is praised by an insurance agent (Nathan Mccomsey) as a trusted remediation partner for multiple clients. Brooke Pawar, a realtor and Local Guide with 18 reviews, calls out the team's reliability in high-pressure real estate transactions. Multiple reviewers highlight that SRS was significantly cheaper than larger competitors without cutting corners.
0 found across 47 total reviews at 5.0★. No negative reviews exist in the last 18 months. Across 47 total reviews at 5.0 stars, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the recent window.
The review base skews heavily toward water damage and crawlspace work, with mold remediation as a secondary theme. Several reviews come from real estate and insurance referral channels (Brooke Pawar as a realtor, Nathan Mccomsey as an insurance agent), suggesting SRS has built a referral network among transaction-adjacent buyers who need fast turnaround. The absence of any negative reviews across 47 total is statistically uncommon for a restoration company and suggests either very tight quality control from a small crew or a volume low enough that every job gets personal attention.
Dillan (field lead — praised in 25+ reviews for responsiveness, knowledge, pricing transparency, and communication). Rob (owner — praised by insurance agent Nathan Mccomsey for trustworthiness across multiple client referrals). Alec (crew member — praised by Bree Lamie and Joe Kolla for being personable and detail-oriented). Christy (operations manager — named on website, not individually named in reviews).
SRS is a small, family-run operation where Dillan will likely be the person who shows up, assesses the damage, and does the work. Ask for Dillan by name if scheduling allows. Because they do both testing and remediation, request a copy of any test results so you can get an independent second opinion if the scope grows beyond what you expected.
Keep in mind
- SRS does both mold testing and mold remediation. That means the same company deciding you have a problem is the one selling you the fix. Consider getting an independent test before or after their work if you want a second opinion on scope.
- This is a small family operation. That closeness drives their review scores, but it also means limited crew capacity. During busy seasons or after storms, response times could stretch.
- Their service area list on the website runs from Powhatan out to Blackstone, Cumberland, and New Kent. Some of those towns are 60+ miles from their base. Ask about travel fees or response time for locations at the edges of that range.
- SRS focuses on remediation, not reconstruction. They remove damaged materials and treat affected areas, but you will need a separate contractor for rebuilding drywall, flooring, or structural repairs.
- With 47 reviews and zero negatives, there is no complaint data to evaluate. That is a strong signal, but it also means you cannot preview how the company handles disputes.
