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.

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
