Yes, most homeowner's insurance policies cover emergency restoration for sudden events like water damage, fire, and storms. With 30+ years of insurance claim experience, we act as your advocate to ensure maximum coverage. We handle all insurance communication, provide professional documentation, and our expertise typically results in higher settlements than homeowners achieve alone. We work directly with your insurance company to streamline the process and reduce your stress.
Mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours after water damage occurs, which is why immediate response is critical. Our certified technicians arrive with industrial-grade drying equipment, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters to eliminate water and reduce humidity levels below the threshold for mold growth. We also use antimicrobial treatments and monitor moisture levels throughout the drying process to prevent future mold issues and protect your family's health.
First, ensure everyone's safety and turn off electricity to affected areas if it's safe to do so. Stop the water source if possible, then call JG Construction immediately at (719) 619-9753. Don't wait, as every hour of delay increases damage and decreases your insurance settlement. Move valuables to dry areas, but avoid walking on wet carpets or floors that could be compromised. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes, but leave the heavy lifting to our professionals.
