Does your home need to be rebuilt after a natural disaster hit? SERVPRO of Great Neck/Port Washington is here to help. Call us today!

As a homeowner, there are a lot of things you need to be prepared for. It’s likely you know that the more you prepare, the more you can do to prevent extreme losses when a disaster strikes. No matter how much you prepare, though, losing your home—or even part of your home—is something you can never quite prepare for. 

Natural disasters have been on the rise over the years, and not only are they happening more frequently, but they are also becoming stronger. With the increased number and intensity of disasters, the possibility of catastrophic losses is possible anywhere. 

No matter what kind of damage you are left with after a disaster, there is always a way to rebuild. With a total service company like SERVPRO®, just a single call will start complete restoration of your property.

After a Disaster 

When a disaster is predicted for our area, preparing as much as possible can go a long way in protecting your home. Once the disaster is headed your way, the best thing you can do is prioritize safety. 

If evacuations are ordered or even recommended, find a safe place to go and head out as early as you can. Make sure your emergency supplies are up to date whether you are staying or going. Do what you can to manage your stress while the event is occurring. 

When things clear up and you can safely do so, inspect your home for damages. Take photos of as much as you are able, and check on your family and neighbors. 

Once you have ensured everyone’s safety, call us. Every restoration process will begin with a complete assessment as well as taking steps to secure your home from the elements to prevent additional damages. 

Depending on the time of day and the severity of the damage done, it may be as early as the assessment process that it can be determined if you are going to need a rebuild. When the response process happens at night or the depth of damage isn’t immediately obvious, it may be as the restoration progresses before the decision to rebuild or remodel is made.
