Article by one of our sister dealers, but it's very timely since we've had a number of rentals from Restoration Companies in the past couple of weeks related to water damage caused by frozen and broken pipes.

Floods in the home can be caused by heavy rain or frozen or broken pipes. Whatever the cause, calling in a restoration company is a good move. There are many reasons why it’s a good move including time and money. Let’s examine some of them.
First, they have the knowledge and the tools to take care of your flood related problems in ways you are not equipped to deal with. If a flood was to occur in your home, are you prepared to go out and invest in professional equipment needed to do the clean up job correctly? Second, what did you have planned for the week? Were you planning on working? It seems it would be a lot better to hire a restoration company than to spend up to several days trying to save everything on your own. Thirdly and maybe most importantly, they are familiar with your homeowner’s insurance policy. They also have experience in dealing directly with insurance companies for flood damage.
When Go Mini’s opened in NY, CT and NJ in 2005, several restoration companies began calling us. Unlike most customers, they would call at all hours of the day and they would want a Go Mini’s portable storage units delivered almost immediately. The sooner they can get a homeowners furniture, documents and other possessions out of the house, the better the chance they have of saving them.
For the restoration industry, the portable storage container was a welcome innovation and gave them great advantages and flexibility in dealing with a homeowner’s disaster quickly. Truck rentals were hit and miss in terms of availability and they still had to find a place to store the items beyond the first day or two. When they call Go Mini’s, restoration companies can expect a container delivered within hours and they can leave it there as long as necessary. And if they want to bring items to another facility for further work or sorting, they can just have the Mini moved upon request.
If you have a flood in your home, make the smart choice and call a restoration company. Your possessions will take time to restore, but your every day life will be restored much sooner.
