More FAQs- Do I need to move out of my home during the restoration process?
- How do I know when my property is completely dry?
- Who is responsible for monitoring the drying equipment?
Depending on the extent of damage, your insurance representative can help you answer this question. Ultimately, however, this is a decision you must reach on your own. Some things you may want to consider are safety concerns, odours, electricity, and disruption as a result of the equipment, work and noise that may be necessary to complete the restoration process in your home. If vacating your premises during the process, consider forwarding your mail to your temporary residence; stopping your newspaper and other deliveries; notifying your utility company, cable company, etc., of the temporary suspension of services during the restoration process.
Professional testing with specialized equipment is the correct way to determine if your property and contents are completely dry. Touch alone may be a false indicator.
