- Be sure they have the ability to test for and detect moisture with FLIR or thermal imaging.
Water Damage Restoration Company
There’s the basic certifications: ICC and CRC water certification. From there you go onto the advanced structural drying. It’s just a ton of stuff that people in this industry have been doing for 30 or 40 years. They’ve learned quite a bit over that course of time and they share it with other professionals. It’s something that takes a long time to build up the knowledge base and to be able to do restoration jobs properly. It’s always just a good idea to ask the professionals that you have out at your house that is looking at this type of damage, what kind of education they have or what kind of certifications that way you’re hiring the best water damage restoration company that you possibly can.
The type of equipment a water damage restoration contractor uses is something you should also keep an eye out for. When you look for and hire a water damage restoration company you want to make sure they are using LGR grade dehumidifiers and large volume CFM fans. LGR grade dehumidifiers are used by almost every restoration company because it aids in a faster drying process and ensures that we’re able to dry the structure before you end up not having any other secondary damages or complications arise.
