Choosing A Water Damage Restoration Company
Most people, when they suffer from a flood on their property due to rainwater flooding, pipe bursts or more severe flooding in their area, panic and call the first name that they find in the newspaper ads or in the Yellow Pages. The fact is that you don't know much about these water damage restoration contractors, and you have no idea if they'll be the right people for the job. There's a lot more involved in flood damage restoration service that simply drying out the water. There's structural damage that has to be prevented immediately, and toilet and sewer clean up to be done. There is the issue of black mold formation to deal with and the de odorizing of the premises to take care of. Structural drying, restoring of possessions to their pre flood state =- all these are important parts of the water restoration process, and only a thorough professional, who has experience in these matters can give you the kind of results that are needed.
First and foremost, your water damage restoration specialist should meet all licensing requirements in this industry. He should have the required membership of trade organizations in his business. He has to be bonded and insured, and if he plans to contract some of the work to sub contractors, then they need to be bonded and insured too. He should have many years of experience in the flood damage restoration business. Ask him if he has experience in mitigating the sort of flood damage that your property has suffered. How many such flood damage projects has he handled? Is he local to this area? A local water damage restoration contractor will be familiar with local climatic variations, and the effect they have on water damage mitigation processes, like the prevention of mold growth.
Before you make a final selection, research into the accuracy of all the information that he has given you. Check up on his certification -- he should have Water Loss Institute Certification or Institute of Inspection certification. Look up these organizations, and verify his credentials. Check your local Better business Bureau, and see whether he has had any disciplinary action taken against him for failure to provide services, or has any pending complaints against him. Finally, ask him for references of past and satisfied clients. Call these references up, and ask about their experience with the contractor? Did he complete the project on time and to their satisfaction? Did he perform the tasks within the budgeted estimate?
