Unlicensed Contractors

Many contractors that advertise services for water damage are not licensed, trained, and certified to handle floods in your city or anywhere in California. In order to check a water damage clean up and repair contractor’s license you can visit the cslb.ca.gov. Here you can see if the proposed flood clean up specialist has the appropriate state licensing to handle your problem. You should also make sure the firm that is working on your property is an IICRC Certified Firm. You can check and see if the proposed firm is qualified by visiting the IICRC website iicrc.org. KADE Restoration is licensed, has current insurance, workers comp, IICRC certified, and specializes in emergency clean up. KADE Restoration is the best company to help you with your emergency water damage, mold, fire, or sewage problems.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1430776858681{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

Nonspecialized Firms

If the proposed contractor for cleaning up your water damage or mold problem is a carpet cleaner or a plumber, have them leave now! You are going to need a real professional. Many plumbers and carpet cleaners try and dry out properties and complete mold removal at your expense and their gain. At KADE Restoration, we get many calls from customers that were sold by their plumber or carpet cleaner for dry out and flood services. Unfortunately these jobs went bad with mold, additional unneeded damage, and delays in the claim process because the plumber does not know how or care about helping you with your insurance claim. These companies charge the same as KADE Restoration but provide half the quality and service you will need to complete the job correctly.

A water damage or flood emergency is a foreign experience for most people. Let’s say for example you need to book a flight. There are two airlines to choose from and both charge the same amount. Which one do you choose? One is amazing and the other is very sketchy. Of the two companies, one is actually a bus company that tries to bus its riders directly to their rundown and poorly maintained airplane. Don’t let the bus driver, or in this case the plumber, take you on a bad plane ride. Call KADE Restoration today and we will get you on the right flight to having your property back to perfect in no time with amazing service and focus.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1430776929339{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

Preferred Vendor Programs

Many times an insurance provider will threaten or force a customer to go with their “preferred vendor”. This is illegal. Per Section 2695.9 of the California Code,
“…No insurer shall suggest or recommend that the insured have the property repaired by a specific individual or entity…”. Do not be scared into being forced to use the lesser qualified “preferred” vendor from the insurance company. Many times these vendors are not up to date on their licensing, certifications, and training. More importantly these “preferred” vendors are discounting their flood clean up services to the insurance company. What happens is the vendor is encouraged to cut corners, costs, and effort while drying out and repairing your property due to a water damage or flooding. The insurance company loves this because they save money and sold you on paying 100% of your premium and deductible but then are turning around and only providing you with 80% of the quality and work you expected to get in return. This is a scam and do not be scared into using the “preferred” vendor. It is better to use KADE Restoration for all of your water, fire, mold, and sewage damage claims. KADE has a great reputation in the flood clean up industry. KADE is known as being honest, fair, and the best for handling your loss with the insurance company.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1430776977118{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

Illegal Kickbacks to Plumbers

Beware of your plumber referred the restoration company after they fixed the flood! The restoration industry is rampant with illegal kickbacks and payouts. It is sad, but the industry standard is for a plumbing technician to received $250 to $500 kick back for referring your flood to a restoration company! Guess who is really paying for that additional $ 500 charge? You. The restoration contractor will inflate the bill to cover their kickback. All of this is illegal and huge scam.. The good news is that there are honest and hard working people here ready to help you. KADE Restoration does not take part in any kickback programs with plumbers or other contractors. KADE Restoration is referred by agents and plumbers to customers due to our extreme quality of work and integrity, not because of illegal kickbacks.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1430777014131{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”]

Stuck With A Poor “Restoration” Company

It is hard to know what to do in an emergency flood situation. It is not an everyday occurrence, and many customers just call the first phone number they get their hands on. If you have ended up with a bad contractor, kick them off the job. Poor contractors, plumbers acting like a dry out company, or other wannabe’s can cause further damage, cause your claim to be denied, and delay claims and properties from being put back together for years. It is better to cut the losses early and bring in KADE Restoration to complete the work for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
