What we see in St. Louis City
- Much of the city is served by combined sewers that can back up into basements in very heavy rain. Ask whether a backwater valve or standpipe makes sense for your home.
- Plaster walls and old wood floors dry differently than drywall. Ask how the crew will measure moisture before anything is closed up.
- In two-family flats a leak upstairs often shows up downstairs first, so make sure both units get checked.
Questions to ask a water damage & mold contractor
- Are your technicians certified in water damage restoration (for example, IICRC)?
- Will you take moisture readings every day and share them with me?
- Will you work directly with my insurer, and what do you need from me?
- What will you remove, and why?
- Is mold testing recommended, and is the tester independent?
- Who handles the rebuild once everything is dry?
