When Do I Call My Insurance Company to Report Water Damage?

Call a certified basement flood cleanup company. There are a couple of main accreditations that restoration companies can have. The primary association is IICRC, which offers accreditations for a variety of different trades, such as Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT), Applied Structural Drying Technician (ASD), and a host of others. Companies and individuals can also become certified through RIA.

It’s important to use a company certified to perform the work properly. Not only do they know how best to remove water from your basement and make sure that it is properly dried, but you’re less likely to deal with any issues/concerns from your adjuster during the claims process. They’ll typically have a list of reputable, certified contractors in the area that deal with water losses, so they’re familiar with their level of service and professionalism.
