After a storm has done serious damage to your home, you may be desperate to hire a mitigation company to help with extracting water, assessing damage, and securing your property. It’s important to consider your options before hiring a mitigation company, though, as some less reputable mitigation companies swoop in and take advantage of people’s desperation after a storm.
You’ll want to hire a mitigation company with a good reputation that specializes in flood and wind damage.
Below is some helpful information to help you choose the right mitigator to meet your needs after a storm that caused flood and wind damage to your home.
Why Specialization Matters
Not all mitigation companies are prepared to face the unique challenges presented by flood and wind damage. Some mitigation companies, for instance, specialize in fire damage. Without the right expertise, they may not be able to address the specific challenges that come with storm damage caused by flooding and wind.
A specialized flood and wind damage mitigation company is able to help with:
- Water extraction
- Drying
- Mold treatment
- Preventing future health hazards
- Navigating regulations
- Maximizing your insurance claim
- Identifying structural damage
- And more
Finding the Right Mitigator
In order to find the right mitigator to meet your needs, there are some things you’ll want to do. These include:
- Checking their certifications, including IICRC certification (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification).
- Checking reviews and testimonials.
- Asking for written estimates and contracts.
- Shopping around for prices.
Don’t just take the first offer you get. It’s important to make sure that you choose the right company to help ensure your safety, while also being less of a burden on your wallet.
