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.
