Before You Call Copal

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. Will you remove the carpet and pad that the sewage touched?
4. How high up the walls will you cut, and why?
5. Where is your company based, and how long have you worked here?

Ask for the license that fits where you live, a DC home improvement license, a Maryland Home Improvement Commission license or a Virginia Board for Contractors license, and look it up with that agency. Also ask for proof of insurance and industry certification for the technicians.

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