The Benefits of Using the Same Company for Mitigation and Restoration

If a fire ravages your commercial building in Florence, TX, you want to make sure that the areas with fire damage are repaired and rebuilt in a timely manner. There are several benefits of using the same team of fire restoration specialists to do all the work.

Saves Time
Hiring one company can save you a significant amount of time in the long run. Any time you have repairs done on your building, there are some steps that are typically a part of the process:

• Contact
  
• Consultation
  
• Assessment
  
• Debriefing
  
  

When one team handles both fire mitigation and restoration, you only have to go through each of these steps one time. This one-stop-shop approach streamlines the overall process, which gets your building back in order more quickly.

Improves Communication About Fire Damage
It's good to have everyone on the same page. No matter how many people are working on the cleanup, they need to know what others have done. It is especially important for them to know any problems other team members have encountered when mitigating damage.
Restoration is easier when it's handled by the same company that completed the mitigation portion of the process. The ones who tear out ruined materials and remove soot and smoke damage from the remaining surfaces report on their work. Then those who are rebuilding your structure can check their own company's records to verify what still needs to happen before they proceed.

Helps Claims Process
Your insurance adjuster needs a lot of information for the evaluation of your claim. After the walkthrough, you can provide pictures and video of the damage as well as confirmation of how much it will cost to replace the items that have been destroyed. Being able to submit one list of expenses from the beginning of cleanup to the final touches of restoration helps to verify your claim.
Both mitigation and restoration are necessary to get rid of fire damage. It makes good sense to hire the same company to do both.
