Each category of water loss requires a different approach, and acting appropriately can mean the difference between a fast recovery and long-term damage. Here’s what you need to know about the three categories of water damage and how they impact your recovery timeline and health risks.
Hello, June! While the official start of summer is still a few days away with the upcoming summer solstice, it has felt like summer along the Gulf Coast for nearly two months already. Our team has experienced a steady and busy spring season, especially with the severe thunderstorms that swept through our service areas. Now, with the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially underway as of June 1st, we are actively preparing for what’s expected to be a high-activity season. Staying ready and resilient is part of who we are. Meet the Team | Edgar Lopez Each month, we highlight a standout team member from one of our six branch locations—and for June, we’re excited to feature Edgar Lopez , one of our dedicated Project Managers at the Baton Rouge branch. Born in Acapulco, Mexico, Edgar moved to the United States when he was 12 years old. After completing high school, he pursued a degree in Construction Management at Baton Rouge Community College. Before joining GRS in October 2019, Edgar built an impressive résumé with nearly nine years of experience across industrial, commercial, and residential construction. Family, Faith & Hobbies Outside of work, Edgar is a devoted husband to his wife of 13 years, Beatriz. Together, they are raising three wonderful children: Destiny (11), Said (8), and Elyon (7 months). When he’s not managing projects, Edgar enjoys spending quality time with his family, staying active in his church, playing soccer, and going fishing. A passionate soccer enthusiast, he’s a proud supporter of FC Barcelona.
At Guarantee Restoration Services, we specialize in fast, professional water damage mitigation across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and along the Gulf Coast. Here’s a closer look at how water damage unfolds over time and why you need to act fast.
