When disaster strikes—whether it’s a flood, fire, or a storm—it’s important to get support from an experienced disaster restoration team, such as us at Home MD. We can evaluate what is needed and create a tailored plan to restore your home to its pre-disaster condition.
Here are a few steps you should take when it comes to disaster restoration as well as things we can help with:
- Ensure Safety First: Before anything else, ensure that everyone is safe. Evacuate if necessary, and do not return to the property until authorities have declared it safe. Be aware of potential hazards such as downed cables, tainted water, and structural instability.
- Contact Your Insurance Company: File your claim as soon as possible. Additionally, before moving or cleaning anything, take photos and videos to document any damage. Your insurance can advise you on what is and isn’t covered.
- Contact Our Disaster Restoration Team: Time is of the essence to prevent additional damage. Our team can arrive on-site and assess the situation to see what needs to be completed to return your home to how it once was.
- Water Removal and Drying: If water removal is needed, it should be completed right away. Delays might cause mold growth and additional structural damage. We will use the latest techniques and heavy-duty equipment to complete this task as soon as possible.
- Repair and Reconstruction: Repairs can often start once the cleanup is complete. This could include drywall replacement, flooring installation, or even replacing major sections of the property.
Disaster restoration can be stressful, but with the correct measures and our skilled team on your side, you can recover faster and with more peace of mind.
