Ensure Safety First

The safety of you and your family is our top priority. When dealing with storm damage, it's important to take all necessary safety precautions. Before you enter your home or business, make sure it's safe to do so. If you have to leave your home due to the damage, turn off all electricity and gas before leaving. Avoid using any electrical appliances or devices that may have been damaged in the storm.

Assess the Damage

Once it's safe to do so, assess the damage to your property. Take pictures or videos of the damage to document everything for your insurance claim. It's also a good idea to create a list of damaged items and estimate their value. We recommend that you contact us to help you assess the damage and create a comprehensive restoration plan.

Contact Your Insurance Company

After assessing the damage, it's important to contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and start the claims process. We recommend that you involve us in this process as we can help you navigate through the insurance claim process and ensure that all necessary information is communicated effectively.

This step will not only protect your property from further damage but also prevent any safety hazards.

Start the Cleanup Process
