Water in your
home? Call me.
Phil Sheridan · IICRC Certified · Army Veteran · Edmond, OK
Not sure if it's serious? I'll tell you — no charge.
This Is the Part Where I'm Supposed to Say 'Commitment to Excellence.'
Instead, I'll just say this: I own the company, I answer the phone, and I don't leave until the job is done. My name is Phil Sheridan.
I started 4D Restoration in January 2024 because I was tired of watching people get bad information from franchise operations that send a 22-year-old with a clipboard who has to call a manager to approve a fan placement. I spent years in the Army learning that when something breaks, you fix it — and you fix it right the first time, because nobody's coming behind you to check.
I'm going to be honest with you: I'm a little obsessed with this work. My wife says I have a problem. I own 14 different moisture meters. I have favorites. When one of them finds a hidden leak behind a shower wall, I get a feeling that I can only describe as "Christmas morning for adults who crawl through attics." It's weird. I know. But when that obsession finds the water in your walls that the franchise guys missed, you'll be glad I'm this way.
I'm also going to tell you something that most restoration companies won't: you might not need me. If you've got a small puddle from a leaking dishwasher and a good shop-vac, you might be fine. I'll tell you that on the phone. For free. I'd rather you save your money and call me when you actually need me than oversell you on a job that isn't there. That's not a marketing strategy — that's just how I'm wired.
But if you DO need me — if there's water behind the drywall, mold behind the vanity, or smoke in the ductwork — I bring equipment you can't rent at Home Depot. A Phoenix Focus II industrial air mover. A FLIR thermal camera that sees moisture inside your walls. HEPA air scrubbers that filter particles down to 0.3 microns. Botanical antimicrobials that smell like thyme, not bleach.
I'm not a franchise. I don't have a mascot. I have a truck, the right equipment, and approximately one thousand opinions about drywall.
I answer. Even at 2 AM. My wife has thoughts about this.
Here's What Happens When You Call
[ You Call. I Answer. ]
Not a call center. Not a recording. Not "someone will get back to you in 24-48 hours." Me. Phil. If it's 2 AM and your toilet just exploded, I'm putting my boots on while we talk. I'll walk you through what to do right now — turn off the water valve, move anything you can off the floor — while I'm driving to you.
[ I Assess the Damage — For Real. ]
I don't eyeball it. I point a FLIR thermal camera at your walls and a moisture meter at your baseboards. "See this reading? That's 42% moisture content. It needs to be under 15%. I'll get it there." I also take photos. A lot of them. If there was a social media platform for pictures of wet drywall, I'd be an influencer. But those photos aren't for me — they're the ammunition your insurance claim needs.
[ We Make a Plan. You Approve It. ]
Before I touch anything, you know exactly what I'm doing and why. I'll explain what needs to come out, what can stay, how long the drying process takes, and what your insurance is likely to cover. I don't start work you haven't agreed to. That's not how I operate.
[ I Do the Work. ]
Containment barriers go up. Equipment goes in. Air scrubbers run. I take moisture readings every day — not when I feel like it, but on a schedule — until the science says it's dry. The process is loud (physics is loud), but every hour those fans run, thousands of gallons of water are leaving your home.
[ I Don't Leave Until It's Right. ]
"Right" means the moisture readings are back to baseline. Not close. Not "probably fine." The number on the meter matches what your walls read when they were dry. I hand you a documented report, your insurance gets a package of evidence they can't argue with, and you get your house back.
Don't Take My Word For It
Mitzi
"I was freaking out. Water was everywhere. Phil answered on the first ring and was at my house in 20 minutes. He was calm, he explained everything, and he didn't leave until the fans were set up and running. I can't recommend him enough."
Brittany
"Phil was professional, thorough, and honest. He told me what needed to go and what could be saved — and he was right. My insurance adjuster tried to lowball us and Phil handled it. Every photo, every reading, every document. Nothing got denied."
J.H.
"I tried to handle it myself for three days before I called Phil. I wish I'd called him on day one. No judgment. He just got to work and fixed what I couldn't. Lesson learned."
M.R.
"Our rental property had a burst pipe while occupied. Phil coordinated everything — tenants, insurance, the whole process. One call. That's all it took."
What I Do
> Water Damage Restoration
Your basement is flooded. Your day is ruined. Let's fix one of those. Water doesn't wait. It wicks up drywall at a rate that would surprise you — what looks like a puddle on the floor is already a problem inside your walls. Every hour counts. I use commercial-grade extraction equipment and industrial dehumidifiers that pull 15 gallons of water out of the air per day. The goal isn't "dry enough." The goal is the exact moisture content your structure had before the water showed up. I measure it. I prove it. I document it.
> Mold Remediation
Mold isn't evil. It's just hungry. Unfortunately, it's eating your house. Here's what most people get wrong about mold: it's not a monster. It's a fungus. It needs moisture and organic material to grow — and your drywall, wood studs, and carpet are an all-you-can-eat buffet. I don't use scare tactics. I use containment barriers, negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobials. We test it, we contain it, we remove it physically — not just spray-and-pray, but actual removal — so it doesn't come back.
> Fire & Smoke Damage
Fire is loud. Smoke is quiet. I hunt the quiet stuff. The fire truck leaves. The crisis feels over. But smoke damage is sneaky — soot particles embed in your walls, your clothes, your ductwork. Weeks later, you still smell something. That's the damage most people miss and most restoration companies rush through. I spend the hours it takes hunting down smoke residue that nobody sees, scrubbing surfaces and filtering air until the particle count drops to where it should be. It's tedious work. I genuinely love it.
> Insurance Claims Support
I don't argue with adjusters. I bury them in evidence. Insurance companies have a playbook. They want to pay as little as possible. I have a different playbook: it's called physics and documentation. When they say "dry it in place," I show them the moisture meter reading that says "wet to the core." When they push back on a tear-out, I send them thermal imaging and the IICRC S500 standard that says the material has to go. I take more photos of your baseboards than you take of your kids. Every reading, every image, every line item. By the time I'm done, the adjuster doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Questions You're Too Stressed to Google
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=01 "How much is this going to cost me?" ▶ ENTER
Honest answer: I don't know yet. And anyone who gives you a price over the phone is either lying or guessing. Every job is different — the scope depends on what I find when I get there. But here's what I can tell you: for insured losses, it costs your deductible. That's why you've been paying premiums. I handle the documentation so your insurance pays the rest. For uninsured work, I quote it after I assess it. No surprises, no hidden fees. If I don't do it, I don't charge for it.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=02 "Can I just dry it myself?" ▶ ENTER
You can try. But unless you own a commercial dehumidifier that pulls 15 gallons a day and a moisture meter that reads behind drywall — you're basically growing a science experiment. A shop-vac and a box fan won't cut it for anything past a surface puddle. The danger isn't the water you can see. It's the water you can't — the moisture that's already wicking up inside your walls, feeding mold you won't notice for weeks. If it's a small spill from a dishwasher, you're probably fine. If it's a burst pipe or a backed-up sewer line, <a href='/services/water-damage/structural-drying/'>call me</a> before it gets worse.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=03 "Is the mold dangerous?" ▶ ENTER
It's mold. It's definitely nasty. But it's a fungus, not plutonium. Some species are more problematic than others — <a href='/services/mold-removal/inspection/'>I test to find out</a> what we're dealing with. Then we contain it, kill it, and physically remove it. In that order. The important thing is not to panic and not to wait. Mold spreads when it has moisture. Take away the moisture source, and we control the game.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=04 "Why should I pick you over the big companies?" ▶ ENTER
You can absolutely call them. They'll send whoever's available — probably someone who's been on the job for three months and has to call a supervisor before placing a fan. Or you can call me. I own the company. I own the equipment. I show up personally, I make decisions in real time, and I don't leave until the readings say it's done. I'm not cheaper because I'm worse. I'm better because I'm smaller.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=05 "Do you really answer your phone at 2 AM?" ▶ ENTER
I literally answer my phone at 2 AM. Pipes don't burst on a schedule. Neither do I. If you call and I don't pick up, I'm in a crawlspace. I'll call you back within minutes. My wife has thoughts about this arrangement, but she married me knowing I'd rather <a href='/emergency/'>chase a water leak</a> than sleep. That's just who I am.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=06 "What if my insurance denies coverage?" ▶ ENTER
Then we fight it. I don't just submit a claim and hope. I submit documented evidence — thermal images, moisture mapping, photo logs, line-item scope — that makes denial hard to justify. If your adjuster tries to underpay, I reference the IICRC S500 standards and your own policy language. I speak "insurance adjuster." It's a boring language, but I'm fluent in it.
admin@4d : ~/faq $ query --id=07 "How long does the drying take?" ▶ ENTER
Depends on the damage. A contained leak might take 3 days. A whole-floor flood could take 5 or more. I don't guess — I take readings every single day until the moisture content is back to baseline. Not "probably dry." Not "close enough." The number on the meter. That's when the fans come out. Not before.
Ready? Call Me.
Picture this: it's next week. The fans are gone. Your floors are dry. The smell is gone. Your insurance claim is filed with 40 pages of evidence the adjuster can't argue with. You're sitting on your couch, and for the first time in days, you hear nothing. No dehumidifier hum. No dripping. Just your house, the way it's supposed to sound.
That's what I do. I sell silence.
