Preserve Your Property Following A Loss

Barrett Dick • January 20, 2021

When large losses occur, vacant buildings and ones with little to no security presence are more prone to vandals, burglaries and other security issues during the restoration process. These crimes can cause additional property damage, which ultimately will cost you more money in the end. After experiencing a large loss, most people do not know the right steps to secure their business or home. In this article, you will learn more about how to perserve your property before a loss, as well as what our team at Guarantee Restoration Services does to protect your building after a large loss!


PRESERVE YOUR PROPERTY: STEPS BEFORE A LOSS OCCURS

Before a loss occurs, it is important to invest in good exterior lighting and cameras. With today’s technology, cameras that can monitor your business are more accessible, affordable and practical than they ever have been. There several options on the market, such as Google Nest and Ring. These have a simple self-assembly, so you have less barriers to installing security measures at your property. Most of the self-assembly options, as well as traditional security systems now have mobile apps to signal alerts to your cell phone. This makes it much easier to watch your property before, during and after a loss.


PRESERVE YOUR PROPERTY: STEPS DURING A LOSS

Whenever it safe to, GRS can make the first step in safeguarding your property. Before the restoration process starts, we board up doors and windows with plywood. By having your home or business professionally boarded, you can trust your property is protected from unwanted visitors and burglars.


PRESERVE YOUR PROPERTY: STEPS AFTER A LOSS

As our team begins the restoration process, it is important to keep all debris and trash as contained or cleared out as possible. At Guarantee Restoration Services, we strive to treat your property as if it was our own. From our project managers to our technicians, we hold each of our employees to the same, high standard. What does this mean? It means that all trash and debris is cleared and disposed of immediately. When your property appears clean, it invites less crime as this demonstrates someone is there on a daily basis. Furthermore, if vandalism does happen, our team at GRS can quickly clean up whatever additional damage was done.


In addition to holding our team members to a high standard, we hold the security of your property to the same standard. During this process, we keep the whole picture in mind. We know what needs to be done before, during and after a loss occurs in order to prevent more damage. By being mindful of this, we are able to stay one step ahead of the curve.

Ahh, October. It’s hard to fathom that we’re already on the brink of Halloween — and then, you know how the rest of the year goes. Before long, we’ll be preparing for our last full company meeting, Family Day, and our Thanksmas celebrations. The end of 2025 will be here before we know it! That being said — no matter what the busy season brings — when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always there for you. Meet the Team | Whitney Hampton Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase one of our awesome team members. For October, we are excited to introduce you to Whitney Hampton , one of our Gulfport Business Development Representatives. Gulf Coast Roots & Family Life Whitney was born and raised in New Orleans but has split her time between Louisiana and Mississippi throughout her life. She later moved to Gulfport, where she graduated from high school. As a young adult, she lived in Bossier City, LA. Now, she is back on the coast in Biloxi, where she raises her two children, Kohen and Kobi, with her husband. Education & Professional Background Whitney graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Marketing — SMTTT! This December, she’ll be finishing her master’s in marketing with a specialization in Digital Strategy. Before joining our team in December 2023, she worked in property management. Whitney started in leasing, then was promoted to Community Manager, where she received the Best Marketing Award in 2023 . Life Outside of Work Personally, when she is not working, Whitney is usually busy with “The Adventures of Kohen and Kobi.” They love spending their weekends exploring new places, such as the science museum, zoo, or splash pad. Staying active and making fun memories together is what she enjoys most. Sports are a big part of the Hampton household. They are big Philadelphia Eagles fans — GO BIRDS! They also love the Florida Gators and have attended many games in Gainesville. Saturdays and Sundays are definitely football days in their house.
