THE PROCESS
What to expect
When you suffer a loss caused by fire, water, wind, or mould, the period immediately following can be a time of confusion. At Meco Construction DKI, we believe that communicating exactly what you can expect during this high-stress time can help alleviate uncertainty and provide comfort and help.
In the event of a loss due to fire or water, the first thing we will determine is the safety and habitability of your home or business. We will consider structure damage, the presence of mould, sewer backup contamination, biohazards, smoke toxicity, and immune-compromised occupants. Once safety issues have been assessed, the next priority is to preserve your belongings.
The First 24 Hours
After a fire, where repairs are required, contents are usually prioritized based on their fragility and your needs. Emphasis is placed on taking care of short-term clothing and medical requirements and every attempt is made to provide these items to you within 24 hours of your loss -- or sooner if at all possible. If your home is uninhabitable, your insurance representative will advise you on whether your policy includes coverage for increased costs of temporary lodging until you can return. Please know that, at Meco Construction DKI, we understand that your home is private and that the necessity of having strangers at this time can be stressful. You can rest assured that the people who work for our company will treat your property with the utmost respect.
