Our Emergency Response
Immediate Triage
When you call, we assess the severity:
- Is water actively entering the home?
- Is there structural damage?
- Are people or property in immediate danger?
- What temporary measures can help right now?
Rapid Dispatch
For true emergencies, contractors mobilize quickly:
- Business hours: Response typically within 2-4 hours
- After hours/weekends: Response within 24 hours
- Major storm events: Prioritized by severity
Temporary Protection
The first priority is stopping further damage:
Emergency Tarping Heavy-duty tarps secured over damaged areas prevent additional water intrusion. Proper installation ensures tarps stay in place through continued weather.
Leak Mitigation Active leaks are addressed with temporary seals, redirected away from living spaces, or contained to minimize damage.
Debris Removal Fallen trees, branches, and debris are removed or stabilized to prevent additional damage and allow assessment.
Board-Up Services When necessary, openings are secured against weather and intruders until permanent repairs can be made.

- Photos of all damage before temporary repairs
