How do you secure your home and processions from further damage? Call in a mitigation company.

You are resting peacefully, when you are abruptly awoken by the storm sirens going off.  You rush your family down to the basement to hunker down as the storm hits.  Wind, rain, hail and lightning strikes, damaging window and roofs, starting fires.  In the light of day you emerge with your family safe, but your home is damaged.  Your roof is partial damaged and missing, the hail and blowing debris has smashed in windows.  What do you do next?  Call your insurance company, but knowing that a wide area of local community has been hit, it may take time for an adjuster to get to you home.  How do you secure your home and processions from further damage?  Call in a mitigation company.

A company like SERVPRO can be called into the disaster to start securing the homes in businesses in the area.  What does that mean?  Tarping and sealing that open roof, and board the broken windows.  Why, because the first step is to stabilize the structure.  The faster a building can be secured, and the environment inside that building can be stabilize the sooner mitigation can start.  The sooner that mitigation is started, the more of the structure and personal procession can be saved.  Once the mitigation is completed, the sooner reconstruction can start and the faster you can get back to living your life.
