"The contractor who cannot explain their drying protocol in plain English is the one to call back — after you've spoken to two others."
A plain-English field guide to choosing a restoration contractor. What to ask on the first call, what IICRC certification actually means, and which insurance red flags to watch for.
- What IICRC certification means and how to check it
- Reading a moisture assessment report
- How insurance-direct billing actually works
What to know before you call.
Most IICRC-certified companies are experienced with insurance-direct billing. You should still get your own estimate — some contractors inflate scopes when billing direct to carriers. Each profile notes whether insurance billing is offered.
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification is the industry's primary credentialing body. IICRC-certified technicians have passed coursework in structural drying, mold remediation, and water damage assessment. It is the closest thing to a professional standard in this trade. You should care.
Response time depends on the contractor and your location. Established local companies often respond within one to two hours for active water events. Franchises with large territories can take longer. The profile page shows each contractor's typical service area.
Nothing. Browsing, searching, and reading profiles is free. We don't charge users, sell contact data, or take a referral fee from contractors.
We add cities as we expand and vet each new market. If you don't see coverage in your area yet, try the nearest metro — coverage boundaries often extend further than city limits suggest.
We add and refresh listings on a rolling basis as we expand into new markets and re-check Google ratings. There is no fixed schedule — but if a profile looks out of date, contact us and we'll review it.
No. We don't collect your contact information to sell it, we don't operate a call center, and we don't accept payment to boost a listing's position. Results are ordered primarily by real Google rating and review volume.
Mitigation is the emergency phase: stopping the source, extracting standing water, and setting up drying equipment. Restoration is the rebuild phase: replacing drywall, flooring, and finishes. Most contractors handle both; some specialize in one. Check the profile.
The faster the response, the less there is to rebuild.
