About the Stamford Water Damage Restoration call line

This is the line you ring; the drying and the repair are done by the nearest independent, licensed local restoration firm covering your address. Two states meet in this service area, and the credentials follow the job across the line rather than sitting with Stamford Water Damage Restoration, which performs no work on any building.

Whatever registration, licence or permit the work calls for is that firm's to hold, with its own insurance behind it, and the office that issued it is who the firm answers to. In Connecticut a contractor doing repair or rebuild work on a home generally needs a home improvement registration with the Department of Consumer Protection, and plumbing work is done by a plumber licensed by that department. Across the state line in Westchester County, home improvement contractors are licensed by the county Department of Consumer Protection, plumbers by the county's own board of plumbing examiners, and mold over ten square feet needs a professional licensed under the New York State Department of Labor's mold program. Connecticut's rules for mold and restoration contractors have been changing, so ask the contractor what registration or certification applies to your job and check with the Department of Consumer Protection.

Ask for the number before you sign anything, on (833) 490-5225 or from the firm when it calls to arrange a visit. We do not print it on these pages: the registration is the firm's own private business detail and its privacy belongs to the firm. Connecticut registrations and licences are searchable at elicense.ct.gov; New York ones through the Westchester County trade-licence search and the Labor Department's licensed mold contractor search; and Stamford's building department confirms whether your repair needs a permit.
