Homeowner guideHow to Verify a Water Damage Contractor in Florida
After a storm, many companies show up at once. A few minutes of checks protect you, whoever you hire, including any company we connect you with.
The checks
- DBPR license search. Florida licenses contractors, and also mold assessors and mold remediators, through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Search the company or person at myfloridalicense.com.
- Insurance. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and workers' compensation.
- Training. Ask whether technicians hold IICRC water damage certifications.
- Written scope. Get a written description of the work, the drying plan and how the job will be documented for your insurer.
Red flags
- Door-to-door pressure right after a storm.
- Requests to sign documents you have not had time to read.
- No moisture readings or drying records.
