Floods and storm damage are some of the most common reasons to call on a mitigation company.

The best water mitigation companies utilize specialized equipment and thermal technology to dry out water-damaged areas and remove moisture from your home. They’ll check for early signs of mold and use specialized chemicals to stop the spread and remove mold at the source.

Fire Mitigation

Property fires often leave behind smoke and other damage that requires immediate attention.

Fire mitigation services often revolve around repairing smoke and fire damage and odor removal. By responding quickly, fire mitigation teams can clean up your home’s smoke damage and remove caustic odors before they have a chance to settle in for good.

Finding The Best Mitigation Company For You

Maybe it was a fire, a natural disaster, or a burst pipe. Regardless of the cause of your claim type, you need a mitigation company to come and restore your home before additional damage sets in.

What is a mitigation company?

Mitigation companies specialize in repairs meant to prevent further damage to your home. You might call in a flood mitigation company to help remove waterlogged drywall before it has a chance to spread mold, or a fire mitigation company to repair damaged support beams before they give way.  

Who pays for the cost of mitigation?

Nearly all insurance policies require the policyholder to make emergency repairs and perform mitigation to prevent additional damage after the initial loss occurs. 

According to Merlin Law Group, “in many instances, there will be specific policy language that states that the insured will be entitled to reimbursement for any temporary repairs or other mitigation efforts that he/she incurs as a result of a covered loss. Similarly, most policies will state whether these expenses will be added against the policy limit or are considered additional coverages…Also, for mitigation expenses to be reimbursed, the loss being mitigated usually must be covered under the policy.”

“Mitigation doesn’t just protect your home, it also protects your claim. Insurance companies may deny claims if efforts to minimize losses aren’t made.” —Ted Patestos, Tiger Adjusters®

What makes a good mitigation or restoration company?

The best mitigation company will have an established reputation, verifiable work experience, and a solid support system.

That one-man restoration service might seem more down-to-earth, but what happens if they get sick, injured on the job, or just never return to complete the work? Choosing a larger restoration service helps you avoid delays in situations where the clock is ticking.
