How to choose restoration companies
- 1
Call quickly
Mold can start growing on wet materials within a day or two. The faster drying starts, the less gets torn out.
- 2
Call your insurance company
Ask what your policy covers and whether they need to see the damage before work starts.
- 3
Ask about certifications
Many restoration companies follow IICRC standards and certify their technicians. Ask.
- 4
Get the drying plan in writing
Ask how many fans and dehumidifiers they'll use, how they'll measure moisture, and when they'll know it's dry.
FAQ
Questions about restoration companies
How fast should water damage be handled?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing within a day or two on wet materials.
Will insurance cover it?
Sudden leaks are often covered; flooding and long-term seepage often are not. Check your policy.
Do I need to move out during drying?
Not usually. Drying equipment is loud, though, and contaminated water may require it.
What's the difference between mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation stops the damage: extraction and drying. Restoration repairs what was damaged.
Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?
No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
