Water Damage Restoration

RSS

Soon hurricane season will be upon us, and depending upon climate shifts, could inundate your business with additional work. But how will potential clients find you when that twist of fate occurs? 

Each year we spend billions of dollars to respond to and recover from disasters, large and small. This money ultimately comes right out of our pockets in the form of higher insurance premiums and taxes.

When disaster strikes, we see the outside devastation by the number of homes damaged or completely destroyed. But for most, the real devastation happens inside the home.

Catastrophe situations typically involve numerous flood claims, making for brisk business for restoration companies. When a property owner states they have insurance, it would be wise to clarify if it is going to be a standard property claim, or insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). 

Water Restoration Technicians are dependent on a wide range of tools on a daily basis, ranging from moisture meters and infrared cameras to dehumidifiers and heat drying systems. One underestimated, but essential tool is knowledge and this is gained through both industry training and hands-on experience. 

The next disaster is imminent. It always is. That might be a Debbie Downer attitude, but it’s the truth, especially when you think about disaster on a more local scale. While a hurricane can impact a dozen states and trigger an emergency declaration by the president, there are a lot of small communities that face their own disasters much more frequently.
