Tackling severe weather damage and rebuilding with precautions Posted: March 26, 2019 @ 8:25 pm |
There is a huge emphasis on flood recovery in the US but despite insurance schemes, many companies have repeatedly double-crossed houses in the inundated areas. Same is the case for homes and commercial properties damaged after storm, hurricane, tornado or any other extreme weather disaster. In such a scenario, one should only rely on dependable corporations who have experience in timely reconstruction. Sure Corporation has many divisions within their mobile storm service company like Sure Roof, Sure Gutter, Sure Tarp, Sure Trim and Sure Removal. Here are some precautions to note down when faced with severe weather damage: Documentation and insuranceOne should maintain a written record of everything in a binder as insurance corporations and relief programs require proper documentation including a complete estimate of all losses. To make claims, this documentation is a prerequisite and the process also takes some time. If one lives in a flood-prone area, he or she should keep hard copies of all forms or save these forms and receipts online using a cloud service. Record files can also be kept in plastic bins to make weather damage insurance claims after natural disasters.
Take photosPhotographs are a great source of archives and they can help people save memories of their pre-destruction homes and offices. Before letting any general contractor, like Sure Corporation Mobile Storm Services Company, know how you want restoration in the original form, you can show them the relevant photos and guide them about your preferences. One should take photographs of everything, from cabinets to entire rooms, from outdoor appearance to roof for rebuilding process. Even after a flood has struck, or any other catastrophe, you can take pictures of your water damaged property before it loses its actual shape. The photographs of inner and outer construction have been helpful for any Florida contractor in past. Beware of fraudEven in the time of disasters, there are opportunistic predators who present the worst form of people in the name of common scams like identity theft, donation scams and home rebuilding. One should never pay for home repair service up front. Online transactions are always better than cash in these cases. One should ask the insurer to survey damage first and then provide with only approved contractors like things like home repair and debris removal. People should only choose an approved roofing contractor or hire services from certified companies in their areas. Also, one should avoid giving away personal information to anyone, like bank account information, social security number or any other sensitive data. Keep rebuilding in mindAccording to the area you live in, you should know every possibility of the disaster-prone region. Some areas are struck by floods while others are hit by storms and so there should be concerns about the probable rebuilding in future. In cases of floods, homes and commercial places are flood damaged. The best thing to do is to remove wet and soiled carpets, coverings on walls, flooring, and sheetrock as soon as possible. Homes should be dried at the earliest with the use of dehumidifiers and fans. After getting rid of all moisture, the process of rebuilding should be started. A moisture reader can also be some sort of help. And then, there is also an option of demolition over restoration but for this aspect, proper guidance should be taken from more than one firms. Go for affordable optionsThere are many other losses and damages after disasters like floods so one should look for affordable options. During the emotional time, one should try to make the most suitable decisions according to the time and physical conditions. The end goal is to recover from a bad experience, survive and thrive by making life comfortable again.
