Hey guys.
I live in Houston and since the big freeze I have been involved in 3 different water mitigation instances. Both of my brother in law's houses and my house (entire rooms.) I am renting for now so my landlord had an out of state water mit company come in and do the work on my house. I watched them like a hawk just to understand what they were doing and it SEEMED pretty straightforward. I helped both of my brother in law's do the demo and dry out of their houses.
I now strongly have the itch to start my own water mitigation business. I run a commercial construction company so I have access to equipment, manpower, and startup capital. I am signing up for the IICRC WRT & ASD classes just to gain some more knowledge in the field. Am I severely underestimating the complexity of the water mitigation business or is this something I can pickup by starting small? The only thing that makes me nervous is the insurance process.
Thank you all for your time!
