Water damage and mould remediation in Boise

Restoration firms for drying and mould removal.

26 pros in Boise

Boise is a dry place, with just over eleven inches of rain and melted snow in an average year, yet water damage here often comes from the river rather than the sky. In 2017 the Boise River peaked at 9600 cubic feet per second, and dam managers were days from having to release more water. The City of Boise also has a Floodplain Ordinance covering the Boise River and the foothills gulches, and it applies to properties in a floodplain. If your home sits in one, ask any restoration contractor how the ordinance affects repairs before work starts. Idaho sets no state standards for mould cleanup or inspection, so the scope of the job is something you need to have written down: which rooms, what drying or removal is included, and how the work will be checked. Idaho asks contractors to be registered, not licensed, so ask to see their registration. Check your policy too, because flood damage needs separate cover.

Questions about hiring in Boise

Does Idaho license water damage and mould contractors?

Idaho requires contractors to be registered under the Idaho Contractor Registration Act, which took effect for contractors on January 1, 2006. It requires registration, not licensure. Ask any contractor for their registration details before you sign, and keep a copy with your quote and paperwork. Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (source, opens in a new tab)

Are there Idaho standards for mould cleanup?

No federal or Idaho state laws require mould inspections or set cleanup standards. That means the quote is your main protection. Ask for the affected areas, the removal and drying steps, and how the contractor will confirm the work is finished, all in writing. Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (source, opens in a new tab)

Does a Boise floodplain rule affect my repairs?

The City of Boise has a Floodplain Ordinance covering the Boise River and foothills gulches, and it applies to properties in a floodplain. If your home may be in one, ask the city and your contractor whether the rule affects the repair before work begins. City of Boise (source, opens in a new tab)

Will my homeowners policy pay for flood damage?

Standard homeowners' policies do not cover flood damage, so a separate policy is required for that protection. Before you hire a restoration company, check what your policy covers and ask your insurer how to document the damage and the work. Idaho Department of Insurance (source, opens in a new tab)
