What to Look for When Choosing a Water Damage Restoration Partner for your Project
Time is of the Essence
When selecting your damage restoration team, look for companies that offer 24/7 services. Unfortunately, disasters do not wait, and once water damage occurs, it’s crucial to have a team start tackling the work to mitigate further damage. Our operators and team is available every single day, no matter what time you call and if you are located in San Francisco, we will be at your location within the hour!
Experience Matters
When searching for a trusted restoration team, check their website to determine if they have the right qualifications for your project. A good rule of thumb is to ensure the restoration company holds a contractor’s license, along with accreditations such as the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certificate (IICRC). Your chosen company should also showcase prior projects, partnerships, and other resources based on their experience. Often, these companies will have a wealth of reviews on platforms like Google. This is why we as a company are so proud of our staff and encourage them to develop accreditations & licenses!
Boundaries are a Good Thing
It’s important that your vendor of choice has clear boundaries regarding the work they can and cannot perform. They should communicate these limitations upfront. For example, not every restoration company handles roof repairs, and it’s crucial that they set those expectations with you.
Conversely, it’s essential for you to establish your own boundaries and clear expectations for the project. While most companies will do this, be sure to ask if their technicians will wear protective footwear and other gear to avoid leaving a mess. Inquire about waste removal, safety protocols, and any inspections needed to complete your restoration. A good restoration partner will always be transparent with you and will set clear expectations while taking yours into consideration.
Communication is the Key to Success
Clear and efficient communication is one of the most critical factors in selecting your vendor. At Faragon Restoration Ltd, we take this seriously and offer a variety of tools to keep our clients informed about the progress of a job. Ask your potential provider about the communication avenues they offer, how often you can expect updates, and who handles scheduling. Clear communication can help a project move quickly with minimal stress for the client, while poor communication can be the bump in the road that derails progress.
Cost & Insurance Alignment
As with many services, in restoration, you get what you pay for. It’s essential to trust your partner to have the expertise, tools, and experience to complete the job successfully. At Faragon Restoration Ltd, we understand that cost and insurance alignment are critical aspects of decision-making. Our team includes individuals with a background in insurance, familiar with current and standard rates throughout the Bay Area. This knowledge allows us to be transparent in our pricing, deliver realistic quotes, and work closely with your insurance broker to get your project underway with minimal interruptions.
Technology & Investment in the Tool Kit 
Using the right tools is just the beginning of our toolkit at Faragon Restoration Ltd. As you begin your search for a company to handle your disaster restoration, ask what equipment they use and if these are items they own. Avoiding companies that rent equipment can help you steer clear of potentially poorly trained firms that may not invest in the ongoing upkeep necessary for sophisticated tools.
Additionally, inquire about what kinds of modern technology they’ve invested in. Cutting-edge tools, such as drone documentation, specialized moisture meters, and advanced software, have proven to make our projects more efficient and liability-conscious for our clients. By investing in new technology, the Faragon Restoration team is empowered to reduce project costs and accurately pinpoint hidden damage while minimizing wasted time and resources.
You are now ready to find your water damage restoration partner!
When choosing a company to allow into your home or your clients’ homes, it’s crucial to find one you can trust not only to deliver but to do so with care and efficiency. Unfortunately, water, environmental, or fire damage is something many tenants and homeowners may experience at least once, so building a relationship based on trust, expertise, and deliverables is essential in case disaster strikes again. When selecting your vendor, ask about their availability, experience, technology, communication methods, and how they handle costs and insurance. With this list, you will be empowered to find the right water damage restoration partner for you, your client or your business! And we do hope its Faragon Restoration Ltd.
