Before You Call McDermaid Restoration & Remodeling

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 the company’s California contractor license number and look it up with the Contractors State License Board. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians doing the drying or mold work.
