There were 19 floods, a record high, and flooding is now ranked the top natural disaster in the country. Wherever you might be, you should know that no one is safe as the global weather patterns are expected to continue changing. After a flood, your safety and that of your family should be your priority, but afterwards, you have to start thinking about the safety of the property.

Many homeowners dont consider the risk of using a house that has recently been flooded. Such a house should undergo tests for structural integrity before being reoccupied. It is also important to hire a water damage expert for water extraction, mold and odor removal. Professional flood damage restoration makes your property safer to live in and you will also get additional services to protect you from the next flood.

With the demand for water damage services on the rise, there are many contractors who claim they offer the best services. As a homeowner who is desperate to reclaim their property, you might end up choosing the wrong people, which can lead to financial losses in future. To avoid this pitfall, below are some ideas to help you find the best flood damage service in your city:

You have to appreciate that flood damage repair is a technical project that should only be carried out by a licensed and certified contractor. The best contractor should be certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Look for an IICR- Cleantrust certified contractor for any kind of flood damage repair if you want to enjoy the best services. The IICRC is the gold standard for the industry and you can be assured of receiving the best services from the company.

There are different sources of referrals if you are looking for the best water damage restoration service. Talk to other property owners in your city to find a highly recommended service. If the water damage is covered under a particular policy, your insurance agent or adjustor should have a recommendation because they have been in this industry longer.

When it comes to flood damage, timely response is a must. The best home restoration contractor should have a 24/7 response team on call. This response team saves you a lot of money through quick inspection, water extraction, mold remediation and odor removal.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you will ever make and as such, you need only the best team working on it. In case of water damage, look for an experienced restoration service with a proven track record among property owners in your city. Go online and read reviews and testimonials before making a choice.

Other than being certified by IICRC, the best water damage restorations service should belong to industry associations such as Society of Cleaning and Restoration Technicians (SCRT), Restoration Industry Association (RIA) and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) among others.
