Restoration that actually lives in Auburn.
Auburn is a college town in the heart of Lee County, a city of established neighborhoods, newer developments, student housing, businesses, and homes that all respond differently when water, fire, or severe weather strikes. A burst pipe in Opelika, storm damage in Smiths Station, or a kitchen fire near campus can turn into a much bigger problem if cleanup doesn’t start quickly. That’s where local experience matters.
DEC Fire & Water Restoration has been family-owned and operated since 1999, with a local office in nearby Opelika. Our IICRC-certified technicians provide water, fire, mold, commercial cleaning, odor control, cleaning & disinfection, and reconstruction services for Auburn homeowners and businesses. When disaster strikes, one team can take you from emergency response through restoration and reconstruction, while helping you navigate the insurance process.

Local Risk Profile
What threatens Auburn properties, by season.
Auburn’s weather can change quickly. Heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes moving inland, and seasonal humidity all create different restoration challenges. DEC is equipped to respond when water, fire, mold, or storm damage disrupts your home or business.
Severe storms & tornado damage
Auburn and East Alabama can experience severe thunderstorms, high winds, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall. Roof damage, fallen trees, broken windows, and water intrusion can quickly turn an exterior storm loss into major interior damage. DEC helps secure the property, remove damaged materials, dry affected areas, and coordinate reconstruction.
Burst pipes & water damage
A failed supply line, water heater, appliance, or plumbing connection can release hundreds of gallons of water into a home before anyone notices. DEC responds with water extraction, structural drying, moisture monitoring, cleaning, and repairs to help prevent secondary damage and mold growth.
Mold & moisture problems
Auburn's warm, humid climate can make moisture problems especially persistent. A slow plumbing leak, roof intrusion, or hidden water loss can leave moisture behind walls, under flooring, or inside other building materials. DEC's IICRC-certified technicians identify affected areas, remediate mold, improve indoor air quality, and restore damaged spaces.
Proximity & Response
Close enough to matter when it counts.
After water or fire damage, waiting can make the problem worse. That’s why DEC provides 24/7 emergency response to Auburn from its local office in nearby Opelika at 500 N. 26th St.
DEC says its teams are onsite in 2 hours or less, helping Auburn homeowners and businesses get mitigation started before damage has more time to spread.
