Before You Call The Contents Department

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?

Ask for a Michigan residential builder or maintenance and alteration contractor license and look it up with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.
