Key factors when choosing a water damage restoration company
Look for IICRC certification (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) — the industry gold standard. Verify Louisiana state licensing and insurance. Check that they carry general liability, workers' compensation, and pollution liability coverage. Ask about response time — water damage doubles in severity every hour. Read reviews on Google and BBB. Get a written estimate and scope of work before work begins. A reputable company documents everything for your insurance claim.
