Recovery- where, how, or what to do to even start the recovery process when your home or business suffers storm damage whether from a tornado, a hurricane, a flood, or a strong thunderstorm. After the storm, do not enter the area if the authorities have not communicated it is safe to return to the area. Once you can safely return to your home of business, there are four first steps on your road to recovery.
Once you are given the clear to enter the area, it is time to access the damage. Bring your identification with you as sometimes it is required to enter a neighborhood or area of the city depending on the damage severity. Do not forget to bring any safety equipment, debris removal tools, water, flashlights, and a camera.
After you assess the damage, contact your insurance provider to report the problem. Take any needed photos of the damage to send to your insurance company upon request. Your insurance company will direct you on your next steps of the claim process to begin the recovery.
Clean up any debris you can to allow safe access around the property. Check for any needed immediate repairs to prevent further damage. This may include but not be limited to boarding a broken window, securing a tarp on your roof as you are waiting for the larger repairs to be completed. Also, do not hesitate to hire a trusted professional if assistance is needed to secure your property and prevent further damage.
Choosing a restoration service partner can remediate any unseen hazards like mold, and they will also work with your insurance company. A restoration service partner will guide you through the repairs and communicate with your insurance company to provide any additional documentation needed to resolve your insurance claim and get you back into your home of business asap.

The DRI crew did an outstanding job on the remediation repairs from a flood in our complex! They came in, got the work done quickly and beautifully and left my place very clean! Jack worked with me on the timing and he explained the process clearly! DRI is also our mgt company and I could write a book on all the improvements made since they came on board! DRI is a huge blessing to our community!

I had the pleasure of working with DRI Gulf Coast on a property I had listed for sale in Perdido Key, FL. They handled the moisture issue professionally from start to finish — communicating clearly with both the current owners and the new buyers to make sure everything was done properly and on time. Their team went above and beyond to make the process seamless, which helped ensure a smooth closing for everyone involved. Highly recommend them for anyone needing mold remediation or related services — top-notch company and great people to work with!

Jack and Chris were phenomenal to work with! We had water damage from a leak in an adjacent unit that affected our master bathroom and guest closet. They quickly dried the areas out and started remediation to prevent further damage. Their repair work was exceptional and the sub contractors were very courteous, efficient, talented and professional. They took great care in keeping the construction mess to a minimum as to not affect other areas in our unit. We appreciated the efforts they made to complete the repairs before our out of town guests arrived. A perfect outcome all around! A heartfelt thank you to the entire DRI team! We would highly recommend them!

Thomas and Jack were quick to respond to a water damage situation that quickly needed mold remediation. The quote was fair, highly detailed, and adhered to until completion. The work was expertly done and the home was restored to an even better level than it was prior to the water damage. Highly recommended!

4 leaks in 5 months. When I was at my wits end, Thomas and Jack able to provide professional advice and action! Thank You for your Service. I will most definitely request their service again. However, hoping I don't have to 😅
