Water damage can be a devastating event for any family. Not only is it difficult to clean up the water, but the smell of wet furniture and carpeting lingers long after everything has dried out. 

 

The best way to avoid this issue is by choosing a company that specializes in water damage restoration as soon as the damage happens. Here are some questions to ask a water damage restoration company before hiring them.

What level of service would you advise for my needs?

 

The level of service that you purchase should be directly related to the damage. The more damage that there is, the more expensive the services will be. 

 

If you're not sure about the severity of the damage, get an evaluation done before committing to any service.

 

How long will the process take?

 

Water damage restoration is a process that can take hours, days, or weeks. It depends on the level of water damage and how long it has been left untreated. 

 

For example, if your basement floods for 24-48 hours before you notice the problem, you could have extensive mold growth and structural problems to deal with. 

 

You will need to get a flooded basement cleanup right away, but depending on the level of damage it could take some time. Be sure to find out how long you can expect the clean-up to take.

 

Can you provide references from satisfied customers? 

 

Having a water damage restoration company that you can trust to do the job right is critically important.  

 

Especially when it comes to something as major as restoring your home after a flood, fire, hurricane or other disaster has struck. You'll want to make sure that anyone who does work on your property is fully equipped with the knowledge and experience necessary for this type of emergency. If not, there's a real danger that things will go from bad to worse in no time at all! 

 

But how can you be sure? 

 

How do you know if a water restoration company is going to deliver quality work. The truth is, if their customers are happy then chances are good that they're doing quality work, so get references.

 

Do you carry insurance?

A water damage restoration company should have the necessary liability insurance to cover any damages they may cause while working on your home. 

 

If not, you could be held liable for anything that goes wrong during the process. It's essential for homeowners to ask about public liability insurance before hiring a company.

 

Do you have specialty equipment? 

 

A water restoration company should be well equipped for any type of emergency or disaster that affects your property. They will need to have the appropriate tools in order to get the job done right.

 

If they don’t have the right tools or have to wait to get them this can leave you at a major disadvantage. Every minute you wait with water damage it gets worse.

 

Make the Right Choice

 

Hiring a water damage restoration company is something that you cannot afford to take lightly. When your home has been flooded it can be overwhelming because precious items can be damage.

 

You need to ensure that you ask the right questions so that you can choose the right company for your needs.
