Fire And Water Damage Restoration Contractors

Let's face it, if you have a water leak, you're not going to be gathering three bids for the project. You're going to make one phone call and if that person is available, that's the person that you're going to use to stop the water from leaking. If this person hands you a bill for $700 and he was only there for 15 minutes, you're probably going to have to pay this person, even though you're not going to be happy.

Now it's time for my tip on dealing with fire and water damage restoration contractors. It wouldn't be a bad idea, to create an emergency preparedness list, just in case something this, God forbid ever happened.

This can be created, by calling a few fire and water damage contractors to get some more information about their company for your new emergency preparedness list. Ask them a few questions about their company, are they available 24 hours a day, how much do they charge for their initial visit during an emergency and anything else that you could think of, that will help you make a decision, about which one you're going to place at the top of your list. It also, wouldn't be a bad idea, to contact your homeowners insurance company, for a list of approved contractors that they use.

Make sure that you place these phone numbers in a couple of spots, if a fire starts in your office and your emergency preparedness list is located in your office, it's not going to do you much good, is it.

I would suggest putting a copy in your vehicle, garage, kitchen, and even try to have one where you work. Hopefully you will never have to use your emergency preparedness list, but it's always better to be prepared, in case of an emergency.
