How do you Choose a Large Loss Company?
When disaster strikes, we try to find any way to deal with it. Large loss situations are no different. They do, however, come with their own set of very unique and very difficult challenges. Resources required to repair and amount of damage are often much larger. Know what it takes to have success with a Large Loss Team and how do you choose them-
Generally speaking, a large loss event is one that stretches beyond one or two properties, to encompass an entire neighborhood, region or even larger area. Examples can include;
- hurricanes/storm damage
- widespread flooding
- earthquakes
- terrorist events
Look for Experience and Trained Teams
Any local restoration company can claim they know how to complete a large response. Only a few companies are truly equip to handle large loss. Ask all of your options for examples of their work and their strategies for clean up.
Look for a Large Team
A big loss requires a large and swift response. Make sure your prospective team has a large staff trained to properly respond, manage the project, and restore the affected structure or structures. This could be a local team in coordination with a large loss team brought in.
Look for Quick Response times
Flooding can cause major damage to your property in just 24 hours or quicker, so it’s critical that a disaster response team assess the damage and develop the plan quickly and efficiently. Make sure to choose a cleanup partner able to arrive within an hour of your phone call to assess.
The way you handle a large catastrophic loss can have implications for years to come. Make sure you do things the right way. Use the above tips to find the right cleanup partner and you won’t regret making the wrong decision.
