ORLANDO,Fla. —
An Orlando woman claims the restoration company she hired to put her life back together after a flood wrecked her home instead, and she’s been living without a kitchen for a year and a half.
A pipe burst when no one was home, flooding Marie Dolce’s kitchen. Overwhelmed, she hired an emergency restoration contractor the next day to dry out and rebuild — a decision that she said she regrets.
“I feel like they just took the money and they aren’t going to do anything else,” said Dolce.
Dolce said her insurance company paid Emergency Flood Services in Deltona, $7,000 18 months ago for the total loss.
Her kitchen is still empty, Dolce said they ripped out the damage and then never came back.
“I call these people almost every day and every time they have an excuse,” said Dolce.
