“Our water heater let go at 2am and someone answered on the second ring. The crew was extracting water before sunrise and stayed until the house was dry.”
“They dealt with our insurance adjuster directly and sent photos of every step. I barely had to lift a finger during the whole claim.”
“Professional, tidy, and they explained every reading before touching anything. The floors look better than they did before the leak.”
“We needed a clearance report to close on our home sale. They tested, remediated, and handed us documentation the buyer's inspector accepted without a question.”
“As a parent, I just wanted to know the air was safe. They tested before and after, walked me through every number, and never pushed work we didn't need.”
“They found the slow leak behind the wall that three other companies missed. Thorough, communicative, and the final report was impeccable.”
“A line backed up on a Sunday night. They answered right away, arrived quietly, and handled the whole thing without making us feel like a spectacle.”
“I manage several rental properties, and their documentation is the best I've received. Photos, moisture readings, sanitization records — all organized.”
“What stood out was how thorough the cleaning was. No smell, no residue, and they explained every step so I knew the space was actually safe again.”
“Same-day response, honest pricing, and a crew that treated our home like their own. I'd call Rainbow Restoration again without hesitation.”


Contaminated flooring and lower wall materials were removed before full sanitization and reconstruction.


The affected path was traced so visible waste and hidden contamination were addressed together.


Final moisture checks confirmed the room was dry before clean finishes were installed.
Our certified technicians handle sewage backups, septic overflow, and contaminated water throughout Albuquerque and greater Bernalillo County, 24 hours a day.
Often, yes — many policies cover sewage backup through an endorsement or as part of a covered water loss. Coverage varies by policy, so we document the cause, scope, and sanitization steps in the format adjusters expect.
Our Albuquerque team responds to water damage, mold concerns, and sewage emergencies with professional equipment and a clear plan for recovery.
From the first inspection through drying, cleanup, and documentation, we keep you informed and help protect your property at every step.
