Hurricanes leave a trail of destruction wherever we go. This destruction that only takes minutes to cause takes much longer to clean up. Hurricane aftermath often requires immediate and careful attention so you can keep yourself safe.
We understand the challenges that come with hurricane cleanup. That is why we are here to guide you through the process of handling the aftermath on your property.
Assessing the Damage
We conduct a thorough visual inspection of your property. When we do this, we are looking for major damage such as broken windows, roof damage, and structural issues. This assessment helps us prioritize the necessary temporary repairs needed to secure the property. We take detailed photos and videos of all damaged areas to document the extent of the destruction. This documentation is essential for filing insurance claims as it helps prove what happened.
Water Extraction and Drying
If your property has standing water, we quickly remove it using pumps, wet vacuums, and other professional equipment. Once we remove the water, a plan is implemented to begin the remediation process, by means of removal of damaged building materials, decontamination, and proper drying equipment installed to thoroughly dry out your property. Proper drying is crucial to help prevent mold growth. We take additional steps to help in the prevention of mold. These steps include applying mold inhibitors and monitoring moisture levels. If mold is already present, our team is equipped to handle safe and effective mold remediation.
Structural Repairs
We inspect your roof and siding for damage. When we do this, we are looking for issues like missing shingles, leaks, and cracks. If we find any problems, we can perform temporary repairs, such as tarping, to prevent further damage until we can complete the full job.
We also check the walls for cracks or shifting. This damage could compromise the structural integrity of your home. If any issues are detected, we address them promptly to ensure your property remains safe. For more complex structural repairs, we bring in specialized experts to ensure the work is done correctly and to the highest standards. We coordinate all aspects of the repair process including assisting in the process of the claim with your Insurance Company.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
We safely remove debris from your property. This ensures that all hazardous materials are handled properly. Our team follows local regulations for disposal, so you don’t have to worry about compliance. Using professional-grade cleaning agents, we disinfect surfaces that have been exposed to floodwater. This step is crucial for preventing the spread of bacteria and other contaminants. Items such as upholstery and carpets may require specialized cleaning. We assess these items and recommend whether they should be cleaned professionally or replaced. If needed, we handle the cleaning process for you.
Insurance Claims and Documentation
We assist you in contacting your insurance company to start the claims process. With the documentation we’ve provided, we will help you communicate the extent of the damage.
Finally, we coordinate with insurance adjusters during their inspection of your property. Our goal is to make sure all damages are accurately assessed, so your claim reflects the true cost of repairs and restoration.
