Before hiring a water damage contractor in Nebraska, get the scope, the approval steps and the records in writing. Ask which licence, registration or certification applies to each stage of the work and check each one with the body that issues it. Ask the company for its own insurance certificate, and confirm the claim questions with your insurer.
