• 1: Emergency Contact - The restoration process begins when you call us.

• Step 3: Immediate Board-Up and Roof-Tarp Service - To maintain security and to protect against further damage, we can board up missing windows and walls and place tarps on damaged roofs. 

• Step 4: Water Removal and Drying (if water damage is present) - The water removal process begins almost immediately and removes the majority of the water. We then use dehumidifiers and air movers to remove the remaining water and complete the drying process.
