Kitchen demolished down to the studs prior to remodeling Are you needing to have your home rebuilt after a disaster hit? Call SERVPRO of Levittown, Bethpage today. We'll take care of it.

None of us like to imagine losing our home, or even part of our home. However, with natural disasters consistently on the rise in both numbers and strength, this is a very real possibility that any of us could face. 

There is a lot you can do to prepare your home and your family for disasters, both natural and manmade. Preparations go a long way in keeping your loved ones safe and mitigating total damage, but sometimes even the most prepared home could be left damaged enough that remodeling or construction will be required to get everything back to normal. 

Make sure you know what to expect when you need to rebuild. 

After a Disaster

The most important thing to do after a disaster of any kind strikes is to remain as calm as possible. Safety should be your priority, regardless of what has happened. If you cannot safely get around your home or you left and cannot safely get back in, wait until the authorities have arrived to help. 

Call your loved ones and check on your neighbors, and make sure you call SERVPRO®.  If you can safely move around, take some photos of the damage. The more you are able to document what has happened, the easier your process will be. 

Once our team arrives at your property, we will begin securing your home from the elements and drying out any water that has entered. We work directly with your insurance company and any other contractors your restoration will require, so with one call to our team, you have started your whole recovery. 

When You Need to Rebuild
