Whenever an owner has experienced a loss on their property there are several variables to consider. If it is a fire loss, our team is typically not permitted onsite until it is deemed safe by the fire department. When there has been a water loss, we are focused on getting the standing water up, to mitigate the damage as much as possible. In any case there are typically some contents inside or around the property that could have been damaged by the loss. As you can see in the image, even a tree falling can lead to a pack out project. Our team is always prepared to step in and help restore and protect your personal belongings after a loss.
