FAQs about hiring a restorer

Will a restoration company come out tonight?

Some will and some won't. Ask whether a person answers the phone after hours and for a realistic arrival time. Many companies serving Parker are based elsewhere in the metro, so traffic and snow matter.

Will I be pressured to sign something on the spot?

An emergency authorization to start extraction is normal. Anything beyond that, such as a direction to pay or an assignment of your claim, deserves a careful read. You can ask for copies and time before you sign.

How do I know the drying worked?

Ask for the final moisture log showing every material back at its drying goal. You'll want that record if a musty smell or mold shows up months later.

Who fixes the irrigation leak itself?

An irrigation or plumbing contractor repairs a cracked backflow preventer or sprinkler line. A restoration company handles the water inside the house and the repairs to the structure.

Will the bill match what my insurer pays?

Not always, and it's better to find out early. Ask the restoration company to share its estimate with your adjuster as the job goes, so differences get settled before the final invoice.
