Wood flooring in your home that has been damaged by water must be continually evaluated by qualified technicians during the drying process. We use professional-grade drying systems and dehumidifiers to create the ideal environment for wood floors to dry efficiently, and optimally to resume their original shape. Depending on the density of hardwood flooring and the type of finishes used, complete drying may take up to three weeks or longer. If you file a claim, your insurance adjuster will work with you to make the final decision as to whether the floors in your home will need to be refinished or replaced.
A code or by-law upgrade is an upgrade that is made when your commercial property’s pre-loss condition no longer meets legal building codes. Your insurance company may recognize code upgrades in the estimation process. Any questions regarding code upgrades should be directed to your Insurance Adjuster.
Prevention is key when protecting your commercial property. While many restoration companies are only available to provide repair services after a disaster has already occurred, proactive planning is the best way to minimize the extent of damages when unexpected events happen. Our SRM Large Loss program provides businesses with access to a team of experienced professionals who specialize in assessing risks and creating customized plans that address potential disasters before they happen. We identify vulnerabilities and develop strategies to minimize the impact of a disaster, considering factors such as the size, location, and assets of each company. This approach ensures that our clients have detailed protocols they can follow in case of a catastrophic event such as severe weather or fire damage.
