❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly should water damage be addressed?
Water damage should generally be assessed as soon as reasonably possible. Prompt moisture control can help reduce additional property damage and secondary problems.
What is IICRC WRT?
WRT refers to Water Damage Restoration Technician, a restoration industry credential associated with water damage restoration training.
Is an IICRC credential the same as a Florida contractor license?
No. Professional restoration credentials and state licensing are different forms of qualification or authorization and should be verified separately.
Does a 5-star rating guarantee quality work?
No. Ratings are one data point. Consumers should also consider credentials, licensing where applicable, experience, insurance, scope of work, written estimates and references.
Does homeowners insurance cover every water damage event?
No. Coverage depends on the policy and the cause of the damage. Flooding, gradual leaks and sewer backup can have different coverage rules.
Why does some company information say “Not publicly verified”?
