Before You Call Astar

1. Where do you think the moisture is coming from, and who fixes it?
2. Will you set up containment and negative air, and how will you protect the rest of the home?
3. Do you also do remediation? If so, who checks your work?
4. How many air samples will you take, and will you take an outdoor control sample?
5. Is your firm certified under the federal lead renovation rule?

Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana have no statewide general contractor license, so check with your city or county and ask for state trade licenses for plumbing or electrical work. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.

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