But, unfortunately, it’s part of being a homeowner and even just living in a home, even if you’re renting. It still feels like an unwelcome occurrence that has invaded your private space and caused a huge inconvenience. It also comes at the worst of times and comes as a big surprise.

There’s that saying; it’s not what you know, but who you know. Well, it’s time to lean on who you know and use their shared knowledge as research information to make an informed decision. So, ask around the community, talk to your neighbors, the local store owners next time you’re there, and other community members you cross paths with.
You can also chat with your friends and family who you know have dealt with a similar issue before, so they can tell you about what team of local water experts they used and if they were happy with their level of service. Even if you’re wracking your brain and you still can’t think of anyone you know who has had to deal with this type of situation, they may know a third party that has dealt with a flooded basement that you don’t know personally. Make sure to ask how happy they were with the service and get any numbers or website info to help you in the coming steps.
You can always do your own research online in addition to asking people you know. Just jump onto google and search ‘local water damage experts.’ Most businesses nowadays will likely have reviews on their site. But it’s also worth looking at the reviews that the company opted not to showcase via Google reviews, Yelp, and BBB reviews.
You can also get a taste of who they are on their website, read about their typical process, and learn more about what specific services they offer. Some businesses will have general prices on their website, such as “Packages starting at X.” Keep in mind that no water damage experts can give you an accurate quote until they have examined the extent of the damages firsthand. It may help you to start whittling down your list of local water damage experts to find the best ones for you.
Building on the idea above, you can start reaching out to potential local water damage experts you think you may be interested in hiring. Some of them will likely have an inquiry or a form to request a quote on their site. Or, straight and simple, post their phone number, which is the fastest way to get a team of water damage experts out to your home to take a look and create an accurate quote for you.
Communicating with your insurance company should be a big part of the process. After you have done the immediate steps, like turning off the power and calling out for emergency services, you should also call your insurance company to clue them in and see what is required of you.
An experienced team of local water damage experts should be able to help guide you through the general insurance process regarding what information needs to be gathered and when. Your insurance company may even be able to give you a list of companies that they cover.
Well, we hope that helps ease your stress and make this situation a little easier. You know where to find us if you want our help with your water damage restoration.
