A: To find Home Advisor specialists, visit Home Advisor and fill out the most appropriate service request to be matched with the ideal service professionals in your area.

Most disaster recovery specialists deal with both fire and water damage (including odors and moisture) so don't worry about deciding between fire or water recovery services if you have both kinds of damage.

If Home Advisor doesn't have anyone listed in your area, look in your local Yellow Pages under "fire" or "water damage." You could also look for members of the Restoration Industry Association online at www.restorationindustry.org.
