United Water Restoration Group, Inc. recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. Commitment to Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program, ..A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction & confidence when doing business. Serving the entire State of Florida.
This company truly takes advantage of this economy. They will go into your home to take care of water damage or flooding and charge for things that were not done and put prices on their invoice that blow others in this industry away! They pay plumbers a finders fee to the tune of $660 and pass it on the the customer and the insurance company. There is nothing wrong with paying for a lead, but this company pays cash and does not pay taxes on this nor do they make the plumber. The owners are foreign and they openly express that they think Americans are idiots!

What a joke these people are very prejudiced and there is no way around that one..ONLY PEOPLE THEY ARE NICE TOO, HAVE GIVE THEM MONEY..AND THEN THEY SCREW THEM TOO!!
.
I have used them to and they got a lawyer and took me to court because my homeowner INSURANCE denied the clam..and the first thing they said to try to get my business was they will take care of everything with the insurance company...yeah right until they told U.W.R they were not paying..
That's when they turned on me..they are nice until they don't get there way and also are charging for things they don't even do..what a joke..this company needs to be out of business...no wonder the INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED THE CLAIM IT WAS 28,895.00 TO DRY OUT THE FLOORS!!! ALL THE PEOPLE ARE NOT NICE THEY ARE SNAKES IN THE GRASS.THERE IS NOT ONE NICE PERSON IN THIS COMPANY..I AM BEING 100% REAL...
THE OWNER'S OF THIS COMPANY DO NOT LIKE ANYONE THAT IS FROM THE USA!!! THEY ARE OUT TO FRAUD THE INSURANCE COMPANY'S AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THEY GO AFTER THE HOME OWNER.
YOURS TRULY,
AMANDA

My name is Mike and I live in Daytona Beach. As a customer of United Water Restoration, I must say I'm appalled at the level of slander being slug about this company. I own several rental properties in the area, and have been using this company for years, on multiple occasions. The only thing I see on this site is a bunch of talk about how United treats their ex-employees bad. So I have a few points I'd like to make.
#1. As said before, I've used United for years, and have always been 100% happy with all work performed, and have always been treated with class, respect, courtesy, and decency.
#2. Ripoff Report is supposed to be for reporting companies who scam/ripoff customers, so far all you people have complained about is ex employees and how they get "leads".
#3. I have had the pleasure of visiting their office on more than 1 occasion, and have also met everyone who works their, including the owners. And what is being said here cannot be further from the truth. Amanda and Connie have always greeted me kindly, and have been very professional. Jason, one of their technicians, has always been thorough, professional, and even invited me to a Magic game one time. Awesome guy. And this crap about the owners being racist and prejudiced is complete BS. I'm white, most of their employees are white, and we're all American. Saying they hate white people and Americans is a total farce. They sure employee alot of people they hate...
#4. I have always been happy with the way they handle everything, including the state, insurance companies, and even you guys. This company has nothing but class, and I will be using them for as long as I live, despite your attempts to slander them because you lost your job. Obviously you are disgruntled and can't accept the fact you were fired. Frankly, with this kind of attitude, I doubt you'll ever work for anyone...

This is not an ex-employee, this is from a group of individuals that have had business dealings with United Water Restoration Group Inc and United Reconstruction Group as well. This has been on on going investigation...and many business owners are involved. Although there is no shortage of former employees that have been wronged, this is not the case.

If this is a legitimate complaint and bad business practice of giving referral fees back and tipping Public Adjusters, you need only to report them to the DFS in Tallahasse on line. They will investigate each complaint at MYFLORIDACFO.COM . Its a felony since May 17th 2011 to give referral fees back (over $25.00 gift in value) and if they are working in tandem with Public Adjusters to do so, they may be in violation of other State Statues. If they are giving claim adjusting advise on insurance coverage applicable and filing claims as a representative for the homeowner, they have violated more laws. Many contractors think they know insurance coverage, since they bought a house once.

Let it be known that United Water Restoration Group INC has never not had a former employee leave with any sort or respect for the company. In fact, the same goes for people they have tried to hire...The example below is how this company "hired" someone and then "retracted" their offer. This letter is to the person (Karen) United hired and was sent back from her with the applicants comments.
Let it also be known that there are at least 20 ex-employees that either left United Water Restoration Group Inc. or had been fired because they were treated with less respect you would give a dead roach! Obviously United has caused enough upset that people go out of their way to educate the public that they are undeserving of the consumers business, especially that of the insurance companies which allows them to think they can charge what they want without consequence to the economy and homeowner's ins. rates!
____________________________________________________________________________
Dear Karen,
After careful consideration,
United Water Restoration has decided to retract the offer of employment. We regret that you may not be the right candidate for this position.
Some of the reasons include, your hesitation to gladly accept our offer (OFFER WAS ACCEPTED ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 AT CONCLUSION OF INTERVIEW), your inquiries to the former employees negative postings
(NO INQUIRIES WERE MADE; SUBJECT WAS TOUCHED UPON TO MAKE COMPANY AWARE OF SITUATION SO THAT ANY NECESSARY STEPS COULD BE TAKEN TO RECTIFY THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY),
and the estimated 25 minute drive you will have to get to work (DURING INTERVIEW THIS TOPIC WAS DISCUSSED AND DID NOT POSE AN ISSUE- WAS GIVEN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT AFTER THIS DISCUSSION). We do not want any employee to begin working with our company who seems hesitant about working here, and it appears that you may not be the right candidate for this position (STATEMENT IS VERY CONTRADICTORY TO THE DISCUSSION THAT TOOK PLACE WITH YOUR OFFICE STAFF AFTER THE INTERVIEW). We do not want to waste your time, and have you come to work only to decide that you are not a good fit
(AFTER DEALING WITH THE EXTREME UNPROFESSIONAL-ISM OF YOUR ORGANIZATION I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT- I WOULD NOT BE A GOOD FIT. I AM ACCUSTOMED TO WORKING WITH NATIONAL, AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES WHO OBTAIN THE UTMOST PROFESSIONALISM AND BUSINESS PRACTICES. IT APPEARS THAT YOUR COMPANY IS LACKING IN THESE KEY AREAS THAT PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE SUCCESS OF A COMPANY.), so to save you time and trouble, we have decided not to sign you on as an employee.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Thank you very kindly for applying with United Water Restoration, and we wish you the best of luck in your employment search. (BEST WISHES TO YOUR ORGANIZATION IN YOUR ASPIRATIONS TO ACHIEVE A NATIONAL LEVEL BUSINESS SCOPE.)
Just another bit of Public Information for the consumer: How a company treats their employees is a direct reflection on the overall morals and ethics (or lack thereof) that is implemented within the fiber of a companies business practices.

United Water Restoration's Response
#7REBUTTAL Owner of company
Fri, December 02, 2011
In response to this report, United Water Restoration would like to say that this was not posted by a customer, but by a former employee who is making FALSE allegations. We have a great reputation with our customers and in the community. We intend to take necessary steps to find out who this individual is.
Rip-off report should be a forum for customers and consumers, NOT for disgruntled employees that create unnecessary drama and hardships for hardworking individuals.
Thank you for taking time to read our rebuttal, and remember rip-off report is not a reliable source of information, only a website which was meant for actual consumers to post about their experience with a company, whether it is true or false. There is no way to protect the individual/company being slandered on a website such as this.
We would like to wish any of our customers reading this a safe and Happy Holiday Season!
