Before You Call ServiceMaster of The Lakes Area

1. Do you take moisture readings every day and will you give me the drying log?
2. Are your technicians certified in water damage restoration?
3. How will you deal with smoke odor inside wall cavities and the HVAC ducts?
4. Do you do contents pack out, and will I get an itemized inventory?
5. What do you think the source is?

Ask for a Minnesota residential contractor or remodeler license and look it up with the Department of Labor and Industry. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.
