Before You Call Total Care

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?

Ask for the contractor’s Iowa state registration and any trade license the job needs, and check them before you sign. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.

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