What They Do

Water Damage

Before You Call Advance Companies

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?

Ask for a Minnesota residential contractor or remodeler license and look it up with the Department of Labor and Industry, or a Wisconsin dwelling contractor credential across the river. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the restoration crew.
