Water and flood damage is something that a lot of home and business owners have to deal with. Understandably, damage like this causes a big headache, and it’s definitely a time when you should call in the professionals. But what does it mean to hire a “professional” when it comes to water damage?
Water damage can cause a lot of problems, but many people don’t realize just how much damage water can cause. That’s why they try to clean up the mess themselves, or they are preyed upon by people posing as professionals following big storms or catastrophic floods. It’s important to know that there are many different options when it comes to restoring your property. It just depends on the type of damage your home or business sustained and how much there is. The experts at Paul Davis are there with emergency water damage services 24/7. Options to help restore your property include:
- Water damage assessments
- Water extraction
- Remediating mold and mildew damage
- Drying affected areas
- Reconstruction services
In addition to the services above, Paul Davis can help with the restoration process of clothes, linens and furniture. We also assist with the filing of insurance claims. But there’s a lot more that goes into being a water damage professional. Training is a huge piece of the greater service puzzle. That’s why we’re committed to providing best-in-class training with our National Training Center. We also offer regional and local training, plus online training programs that have helped thousands of Paul Davis franchisees, insurance professionals, and others.
