How to choose the right mitigation company
Index
When you have a serious health problem you usually make the effort to find a reliable doctor… not a sketchy one, that’s because your life is what is at stake. The same should happen regarding your property, because if your house is sick it will put at risk the lives of the people that spent time in it.
Natural disasters, severe weather, leaky faucets, or ruptured pipes can cause thousands of dollars of property damage, can generate mold and cause health problems… Remember, water damage is not always in plain sight, it is important to call a professional mitigation company to inspect your property at least 3 times per year.
But how do you know if a mitigation company is trustworthy?
Here we give you many tips for choosing the right mitigation company:
1. Credible local references
The safest option is always the one that has already shown good results and you’ll know that by testimonies, reviews or by word of mouth. So if you have known a neighbor who has already contracted a mitigation company and had good results, ask him for the number.
2. Verify the company is properly licensed
The easiest way to tell the difference between real and false is by asking for proof. Just like researching references, you can ask a company directly about their licensing status. If a company can’t or refuses to provide proof should be an immediate red flag.
3. Check their social media
Unfortunately, there are many companies out there that claim to care for you and your property… but if you see their social media you can see that they’re not caring even for themselves. Social media is a presentation card, so if their content and imagery is generic, ugly, inconsistent or identical to other mitigation companies, that’s also a big red flag. A company with original and creative content shows love for the work they do and security on themselves. Remember, the company that copies another is a company that doesn’t trust itself.
4. Check for valid insurance coverage
A Mitigation company with insurance provides peace of mind in a stressful situation, knowing you are covered in the case of accidents involving crews or the structure during the mitigation procedures.
5. Availability
When it comes to water damage, time is crucial. Find a mitigation company that has 24/7 availability. Maybe you don’t have an emergency yet but anything could happen at any moment: a water leak, a burst pipe, a broken roof… and in those cases every second counts, so it is a good idea to have a contingency plan with a company that will be on standby or ready to help.
6. Help with the insurance claims process
Find a company that will be able to help you with your insurance claim process more than you can help yourself. The right mitigation company should generate a report of the full extent of your water damage and procedures that had to be done. This will help you get the most out of your insurance to cover the restoration and mitigation costs of the whole project.
7. Techniques and tools
A mitigation company is often only as good as the tools and techniques they use. Research what equipment they are using, because the proper moisture detection, extracting, drying and dehumidification equipment is critical for an adequate mitigation. When advanced techniques and tools are used, it can accelerate the rate of restoration and tackle your water and moisture issue before it becomes a mold problem.
8. A executive that keeps you updated
Choosing a company that shows an interest and expresses compassion for your case is the company you want to have on standby. A company that actively reminds you that they are there for you can tell you that they are willing to put in the time, effort, and expense to ensure that your home is safe.
9. Knowledgeable professionals
The company you choose should be able to answer any questions or doubts you have regarding the whole mitigation process and should be able to advise you on the way to complete the full restoration of your property.
