Your First Steps After a Disaster

It can be difficult to get your life together after a disaster. We are here to help!

After disaster strikes it can be difficult to deal with the overwhelming amount of questions running through your head. Whether victimized by water, mold, fire, or some other trauma, the first question always remains the same: what do I do now?

First, one must assess if the house is a safe place to return. Safety should be your main concern and you should not reenter a home if there has been structural damage or if the house becomes contaminated with the pollutants resulting from the trauma. If the house is safe to enter it might seem obvious to start cleaning up but it is important to wait until you are able to document the damage by taking photographs. If your camera did not survive the incident, or the house is unsafe to enter, the next step is to call SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore to begin the process of restoring your home.

An expert at SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore will be able to document the damage on your behalf for insurance claims. Based on the damage and condition of your home the SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore professional will be able to advise you if going through the insurance company is the best course of action.

We are ready to make the process as simple as possible, helping you every step of the way. After documenting the damage to your home the SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore professional will give you a formal assessment and advise you of the best course of action. The only step you must take is to submit the claim to insurance! Your insurance company may try to pressure you into using a preferred vendor, with which they have agreements, but it is important to know that you have the right to pick with whom you work. Based on your plan an expert can even tell you if going through insurance is a good idea; high deductibles, increased rates, and fear of getting your policy canceled may be reasons to not submit.

While a disaster is never good, the resulting damage can give you the opportunity to rebuild your room or home into something you’ve always wanted. SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore is ready to help build your dream home. Turn a negative into a positive by adding a second bathroom to your home or any other additions you could want.  Rebuilding your life after a disaster is never easy, but you should find comfort in knowing that SERVPRO of Oakdale/North Bay Shore is ready to make rebuilding your home a lot easier!
