• "The worst is when you have like what happened to your brother, the water just keeps going. You can catch it in time, and now you can minimize the damage. So there's a lot of technology out there, and you should look into it because it could save you." - Manny Pozo
• "the funny thing is, it costs more money now than it ever has. But that's just the fact of what it is. So we have to protect ourselves. We have to find new technology. We have to be aware. Again, we are now educated enough to know that undried water is going to create mold, which is going to affect your health. Our industries had to adjust to that with the insurances." - Manny Pozo
• “Make sure that you interview the professionals that you plan to work with. Not all professionals were created equal. It's unfortunate. All over the place. But you have to be very careful who you hire these days, because like, as you said, look, you could live in a multimillion-dollar property and hire the wrong people. And now you have this huge mold issue in your attic. And that's a big deal.” - Raquel Ramirez
