Insurance and licensing in Maine

Many standard homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, but flood, sewer backup and long term leaks are commonly treated differently. Check your policy and report quickly. Licensing for restoration and repair work differs by state and sometimes by city. Ask any company for its license number where one applies, proof of liability insurance and its IICRC training, and verify them with the licensing office that covers your area.
