How Will I Know Which Water Restoration Firm Is Best for My Northern Virginia Business Needs?

3/14/2022 (Permalink)

As a northern Virginia business owner, when you suffer a water loss, the impact amplifies as your employees, customers, and the community absorb the consequences. At a stressful time, you may feel the pressure of many others who rely on you to make the right decision when selecting from a list of water restorers.

What Should I Focus On When Comparing Companies?


Focus on the restoration company’s training, equipment, experience, response time, and scalability when deciding which northern Virginia water restoration company you should select to help with your specific needs.

Things to consider include:

  • Is their workforce trained through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the international standards-setting organization?
  • Has the company invested in sufficient inventories of state-of-the-art water extraction and drying equipment, and the tools to locate trapped water that migrated from the initial loss site?
  • Do the company’s management team and crew members have significant experience in commercial losses, including creative and sustainable ways to permit at least partial operations during restoration efforts?
  • How quickly can the company arrive with experienced project managers, restoration technicians, and equipment to begin assessment, planning, and emergency services?
  • Can the company mobilize resources with affiliated restoration firms to increase the number of work crews and the quantities of specialized equipment in the event of a catastrophic and more extensive loss than typical?
