Catastrophe Response

Hurricanes are most likely to do the most damage in Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, where hurricanes happen the most. On average, approximately 1.75 hurricanes strike the U.S. each year.

Continuing Education

Tornado categories are measured through what’s known as the Enhanced Fujita Scale, or the EF Scale. It’s the standard tool used to categorize tornadoes based on the scope of the storm damage they cause.

Safety

An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof, preventing melting snow from draining properly and potentially causing damage to the building by allowing water to seep into the structure, leading to issues such as roof leaks and compromised structural integrity.

Catastrophe Response

Water mitigation is the process of minimizing the initial damage caused by water intrusion or flooding in a property. Water damage restoration, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive process involving repairing and restoring or even reconstructing the property to its best possible condition.

Plumbing

A sump pump is a pump that channels water out of a basement to the exterior of a building. These pumps help reduce the likelihood of flooding, decrease the chances of mold growth, and can help protect the structural integrity of a building’s foundation.
