Before You Call Fire & Flood Restoration Specialists, LLC

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 the contractor license your city or village requires, since Illinois has no statewide general contractor license, and check it with the local building department. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians.

This company has no public reviews yet. Ask for two recent customers you can call.

They list no storefront. Ask where the business is based and whether the crew is their own.
