Not all Water damage Restoration companies are equal: Here is how to pick the best one.

Get to know your options and make sure to read reviews from their website and from review sites, inspect before and after pictures, and check certifications. Water damage restoration is not something that anyone can do, in fact the proper equipment and chemicals aren’t even available to those who are not properly trained, licensed and insured in this field. These licenses and certification cost thousands and thousands of dollars each year to renew not to mention the mind-boggling hours to get trained. Someone not trained properly will not know how to completely dry a structure or prevent mold growth.

Hiring an amateur or someone who considers themselves a handyman (or plumber with water damage experience) will lead to future problems and a bigger bill in the long run.

Often the costs are triple what a normal emergency restoration company would charge in the first place. SERVPRO of Perry Hall/White Marsh or your local SERVPRO franchise has systems in place to guarantee accurate, fair and consistent pricing using Xactimate. If you are filing your water damage as an insurance claim then the bill will be approved, finalized, and processed efficiently through both SERVPRO and your insurance adjuster to make sure it is accurate, fair and correct.

SERVPRO of Perry Hall/White Marsh has access to disaster recovery specialists and “Storm Teams”. If the area is inundated with catastrophic flooding or fires. During the Polar Vortex, we averaged at about 15 new calls per hour for 3 days, Hurricane Sandy we received 120 calls in 4 hours; this is a standard circumstance for storm situations and if you call a SERVPRO, you will automatically be put into the system and you will be seen by either us or a “Storm Team” who come to our area from other states to help with large scale disaster recovery.
