Before You Call Old South Construction

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. Where is your company based, and how long have you worked here?

For mold jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more, ask for a Texas mold remediation contractor license and look it up with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians.
