How 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.
