The Benefits of Restoring vs. Replacing

12/1/2021 (Permalink)

At SERVPRO we strive to save more and replace less. To someone with less knowledge and experience, it may appear that replacing materials is the best option in a disaster situation. When we assess damage to a home or business, our team will perform pre-testing to determine what can be salvaged or cleaned, such as furniture, contents and structural materials ensuring the most cost-effective service.

Our service can benefit you in the following ways:

Time: Instead of focusing on removing materials that could otherwise be restored, our drying and cleaning methods allow us to put the customer back to preloss sooner.
Money: Restoration is much more cost effective than replacement. Insurance policies often have a limit on the coverage to a claim. Restoration minimizes the cost of bringing a structure to preloss condition.
Peace of mind: Being able to restore precious family heirlooms or favorite items, bring an assurance to the customer that everything will be okay.
Environment: By saving items and building materials, we minimize what is wastefully discarded in landfills.
Preservation: Using restoration techniques is a way to preserve the original architecture and ensure character and value aren't lost in the process.
