The conditions of damage restoration can be rough for those involved. We are professionals and have your best interest at heart when it comes to the sometimes difficult process of damage mitigation. Pictured here is containment material that we ustilize to ward off areas that should only be entered by our trained technicians. This is to keep an organized job site and protect occupants of the property from debris caused by the damage. For more information about our practices, visit our blog!

This is a unique but not uncommon feature of damage. When the interior pipes and supply lines of the home are compromised, they can guide water to both the inside and outside of the property. It may seem convenient for damage to direct itself to the exterior of the home, but if gone unchecked, this can cause a ripple effect, hence directing the damage inwards. This is an example of that situation but did not lead to interior damage because the owner caught this early on. Make sure to inspect every aspect of your property to avoid any and every strain of damage.
