Water Damage
The end result of a natural disaster is water damage to a residence or property. This is especially true for major floods that have hit the California area. Commercial buildings and private residences experience burst pipes that lead to completely destroying the entire building structure. Here is a way to prepare. Listen to the radio for storm warnings. Follow any instructions given by the news station or local authorities about floods that might lead to major damage. Move to higher ground or at least the highest floor in the building, during a flood watch. Afterwards, it is very important to react quickly to the disaster. Delaying cleanup leads to major health concerns, mold buildup, and more cost. The key to effective disaster preperation is to hire our professional, certified, and licensed, restoration service in North Hollywood for mitigation and fast service. 

Fire Damage
A fire is a very devastating event. The fire might completely destroy the building, causing major restoration concerns. Fires destroy damage and properties. Fires also leave behind a tremendous amount of smoke damage that might make the building uninhabitable. Smoke damages all the furniture, rugs, carpeting, electronics and appliances within the building. Smoke also spreads to the walls and ceilings causing even more major damage. Our professional technicians are experts at restoring a building or private residence after any type of major disaster that causes fire damage. However, we always advise our customers to have a disaster plan in place. First, install smoke alarms on every floor.
