This facility was damaged when storms came through the area recently. We immediately put our team on the job and, as always, we delivered. The customer was very pleased that were able to make it "Like it never even happened."

This home had flooding caused by severe storms that recently affected the area. The storms caused flash flooding that then ran into the home. As you can see from this picture, there was still water pooled in the floor when we arrived.

The use of sandbags is a simple, but effective way to prevent or reduce flood water damage. Properly filled and placed sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around, instead of through, buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a water-tight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations.

When storms blow through your area, there are many concerns to keep in mind. With heavy rains comes the possibility of flooding which can cause water damage, then there is also mudslides which can cause structural damage.  Please remember that immediate action is crucial. The faster we begin the restoration process the less likely you are to experience secondary damage.
