BMS CAT, a leading provider of comprehensive disaster recovery and restoration services, proudly announces the successful acquisition of Legacy Services Corp., a prominent restoration & environmental cleaning company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"We are thrilled to welcome Legacy Services, Corp. to our BMS-CAT family.

"Having the strength and support of the BMS-CAT team in our corner, we are extremely confident in our capabilities to provide our existing clients and prospective new clients with the highest quality services available in the industry," said Mike Adair, Co-Founder of Legacy.

About Blackmon Mooring & BMS CAT:

Started in 1948 as a furniture and dye shop, Blackmon Mooring has grown to become a leader in each service area it practices – from fire and water restoration to storm damage recovery. The earliest founders of Blackmon Mooring built their business on reliability, quality, and superior customer service. In 1981, the company expanded its reach globally with the addition of the BMS CAT division and since then, it has responded to some of the world's most devastating disasters. Today, the company operates across the United States and follows the same principles it was founded upon; to always remember that the customer is the cornerstone of the business.
