I work with two water-damage restoration companies in Northern Virginia. Both hold Virginia Class A contractor licenses, and every number below can be checked in two minutes on the state's public lookup.

Per the company site, Flood Doctor is an IICRC Certified Firm.

Restoration Doctor (VA Water Damage LLC)

Restoration Doctor is the trade name of VA Water Damage LLC, licensed in both Virginia and Maryland.

Per the company site, Restoration Doctor works to the IICRC S500 (water damage) and S520 (mold) standards.

Check any of this yourself

Virginia contractor licenses are public. A Class A license is the state's highest contractor class, with no cap on the size of a single job. The specialties on the record (Residential Building, Commercial Building, Home Improvement) tell you what kind of work the license covers.

Search the license number or company name at the Virginia DPOR License Lookup: dpor.virginia.gov/LicenseLookup. Maryland home improvement licenses are searchable through the Maryland Home Improvement Commission.

For service, call the company directly. The contact page lists the same numbers.
