5 Things You Should Ask YourWater Damage Restoration Contractor

Ask Before You Hire

• The clock started when the water did. How soon can equipment be on site?
• Visible damage is rarely the extent. Was moisture mapped with meters, or eyeballed?
• Drying has to reach the structure, not the surface. What's the equipment plan, and how long does it run?
• Mitigation and reconstruction are separate scopes, often separate companies. Which is being estimated, and who owns the gap?
• Your insurer pays on documentation. What readings, photos, and reports do you get, and do they go to you or only to the adjuster?

Verify yourself: Florida licenses mold remediation separately, and reconstruction requires a licensed general or building contractor. Confirm both where they apply, plus liability insurance.
