Safety first
Do not enter a damaged building. Keep people and pets away. Utilities should be shut off by the providers.
Walls and roofs can fail without warning.
Document everything
Photograph the damage from outside and keep receipts and records. Your insurer will ask for them.
Do not remove items before your adjuster sees them if you can avoid it.
Talk to your insurer
Report the loss promptly and ask how demolition and debris removal are handled in your policy.
You remain in charge of your claim.
Secure the site
Fencing and boarding protect the public and your property from further loss. We can help quickly.
City officials may require it.
When demolition is the answer
If an engineer or the city finds the structure unsafe, or repairs cost more than rebuilding, demolition is the next step.
We can help assess.
Moving toward rebuilding
After demolition and cleanup, you can plan the rebuild. We leave a clean, graded lot and records for your builder.
Take the time you need.
Stay out, document, call your insurer and get the site secured before you decide.
