What types of emergency services are there?

Usually, there are two types of services that can be offered to a property owner when seeking out emergency services. Those two types of services are emergency services, and restoration/reconstruction.

1. Emergency services, (sometimes known as mitigation) is something that is used to keep further damage from occurring and/or securing your property after a loss.
2. Restoration/reconstruction is something that is provided in order to return your property back to pre-loss conditions.

How does that work? Once our technicians have arrived to the property, an assessment must be done in order to ensure the proper services are done. Once the assessment of the damages is done, we will be in touch with your insurance company in order to let them know what types of services are needed.
