If you live in or around Thibodaux, La., you've probably got at least two things on your mind in the spring -- crawfish and hurricanes. While we know this crawfish season has shaped up to be a great one, we're not so sure what's going to happen with this year's hurricane season.

The first few hours bring a whirlwind of phone calls, emergency lights and sounds, and endless questions. The fire department arrived and was hopefully able to salvage most of the existing structure. After the firefighters douse your home and soak all your personal contents within, they will try to provide a temporary board up. Next you'll likely be advised to contact your insurance company, who will put you in contact with a field adjuster. The adjuster will presumably recommend you find your own vendors to restore your home and personal treasures therein.

Spring is here, and with it usually comes some unpredictable weather. Unfortunately, for some people, heavy storms bring large amounts of rain that leads to unexpected flooding. If you experience water in your home or business, disaster restoration services can help homeowners get things back to normal in no time.

Whether you are experiencing water damage at your home, which is undoubtedly your largest investment, or at your business, it takes more than a bucket and mop to handle the cleanup. In fact, failure to call in the emergency services professionals right away can open the door to potentially dangerous consequences.

With water damage, it can be tempting to cover up the noticeable signs of damage and move on. After all, it could be years before the wood begins to erode and give way. By that time you may have more money to address the concerns or you may even look into selling the home. But not so fast. Unfortunately, this is not at all a plausible solution and in doing so, you could jeopardize the foundation of the home and cause thousands of dollars in damage.

According to the US Fire Administration, almost half of all residential fires are the result of cooking mishaps. With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we know many kitchens in the area will be busier than ever getting ready for the big meal, and we encourage everyone to use these steps to avoid the most common, and preventable cause of home fires. While accidents do happen, fire damage restoration services encourage you to review these safety precautions in the kitchen.
