Our Mission

Damage Recovery Center (“DRC”) provides accurate, evidence-based, and practical information to help readers understand safe recovery practices for water, flood, mold, sewage, fire, odor, and related home issues. Safety is our first priority for every guide.

Standards of Accuracy and Safety

• We consult recognized standards and reputable sources (e.g., IICRC S500/S520, EPA, CDC) whenever applicable.
• We clearly mark safety warnings, including PPE guidance and “do not DIY” scenarios.
• We strive for clarity, neutrality, and actionable steps without sensationalism.

Expert Review & Updating

When appropriate, articles are reviewed by professionals or technicians experienced in water damage restoration, mold remediation, drying/dehumidification, or similar fields. We periodically review content to reflect new best practices, standards, or regulations. Updated pages display a “Last Updated” note.

Editorial Independence

Advertising does not influence our editorial decisions. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable coverage. If affiliate links are used in the future, they will be disclosed per FTC guidelines.

Corrections & Feedback

We welcome reader feedback. If you spot an error or omission, please see our Corrections Policy or email contact@damagerecoverycenter.com.
