Choosing a Water Damage Restoration Company

Zack Klein • September 14, 2022

When water has ravaged your home or business, it leaves behind far more than damaged property. It also leaves anxiety and a sense of urgency. In addition to the loss of important and precious items, questions regarding the extent of the damage, insurance coverage, and timeline to recovery all begin to swirl. Under such circumstances, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and alone, but the partnership of an experienced water damage restoration company can help immensely.


Important Factors for Selecting a Water Damage Restoration Company


While the aid of a restoration company is an urgent necessity in the event of severe water damage, it is also important to make your selection wisely. Time may not be on your side, but there are a few factors you can quickly and easily verify to ensure the quality and reliability of your selected restoration partner.


  1. Experience – It’s nice to support start-up businesses, but when it comes to restoration of your home or business, you’ll want a company with a proven track record of expertise. By working with an established restoration company with skilled contractors, you can ensure that the work being done on your property is thorough, sound, and up to the test of time.
  2. Licensed, Bonded & Insured – When anyone is performing work on your property, you will want to ensure they are covered in the event of any mishaps and that you will not be held liable as the property owner. A reputable water damage restoration company will be fully licensed, bonded, and insured, so that their team can operate legally and safely.
  3. Training & Certification – As with most industries, property restoration requires ongoing certification and training so that providers can continue to provide the most up-to-date services that are in line with their industry’s standards. Ask any companies you consider about the training of their team and confirm any certifications through the organization from which they were obtained.
  4. Reviews – Previous clients often provide the greatest and most reliable insight into a company, their reliability, experience, and professionalism. Fortunately, in today’s world, finding these previous clients is as quick as a Google search. Look up any online reviews you can find and consider both the good and the bad to make a fully informed decision.
