Who should I contact immediately after discovering property damage?
Contact a qualified restoration company as soon as everyone is safe. Trident Restoration can inspect the damage, begin emergency mitigation, document the loss, and help you communicate with your insurance company throughout the restoration process.
Is any contractor qualified to handle water, fire, or mold restoration?
No. Restoration requires specialized training, safety procedures, moisture detection, containment methods, and professional equipment. Choose an experienced restoration specialist with IICRC-certified technicians who understand how to remove damaged materials, prevent secondary damage, and restore the property correctly.
What should I do immediately after water damage?
Put safety first and avoid standing water, wet electrical systems, and structurally damaged areas. Stop the water source only if it is safe to do so, move valuables away from the affected area when possible, and call a water damage restoration professional immediately. Fast extraction and drying can reduce additional damage and mold growth.
What should I do immediately after fire damage?
Do not re-enter the property until emergency officials say it is safe. Avoid touching soot-covered surfaces or attempting to clean smoke damage yourself because improper cleaning can make staining and odors worse. Contact a fire damage restoration specialist promptly to secure the property, document the damage, and begin smoke, soot, and odor removal.
What should I do if I discover mold in my home?
Avoid disturbing the affected material, which can spread mold spores to other areas. Keep people and pets away from the space when possible, address any active moisture source, and contact a mold remediation professional for an inspection and safe containment plan.
