Can you bring a generator to my business after a hurricane?

Yes. We own our generators — we don't wait in the same rental line as everyone else after a storm. We deploy temporary power to keep walk-in coolers, freezers, and critical equipment running while the grid is down. Text 601-337-1069 with your location and what you need to keep powered, and we'll tell you straight what we can do and when.

How do I reach you when cell service is jammed after a storm?

Text us. After a major storm, cell networks are overloaded and calls drop — but text messages queue up and get through when voice calls won't. Text 601-337-1069 with your name, address, and what you're dealing with. We work our list in order of who's hurting worst: powered-down coolers full of product and buildings open to the weather come first.

Do you document storm damage work for insurance claims?

We photograph our work and provide itemized invoices, which most owners hand straight to their adjuster. We're not insurance adjusters and we won't pretend to be — but board-up, debris removal, and stabilization are the kind of reasonable emergency mitigation most policies expect you to do, and clean documentation makes that conversation easier.

Can one company really get my restaurant reopened after a storm?

That's the point of calling us instead of three different contractors. We can set temporary power, repair the refrigeration and cooking equipment, clear the trees off your parking lot, and haul the debris in our own dumpsters — one number, one crew, one invoice. Every day you're closed is revenue gone; we sequence the work so you're serving customers again as fast as the building allows.

What should my business do before hurricane season?

Three things. First, get your equipment serviced now — a walk-in limping through August will not survive a week of rough power. Second, sort out your generator plan before the storm has a name: what needs power, what size unit, where it connects. Third, save 601-337-1069 in your phone. The businesses that text us before landfall are the ones we can plan for.

Water Damage Cleanup & Drying | Posted Rates | South Mississippi

Water-damaged material staged for haul-off after a cleanup

First Hour

Stop the Water, Then Dry the Building

Water gets into a commercial building three ways: a plumbing or equipment failure, the roof, or the air conditioning. We repair two of those for a living, so we find the source instead of guessing at it.

Standing water extracted
Ruined base, drywall, ceiling tile, and insulation removed and bagged
Antimicrobial on everything that got wet
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers until the meter says dry
Readings and photos every day until we pull the equipment

Insurance

We Bill Your Insurance Company

Sudden water damage is usually a covered loss. You call your agent and get a claim number. We bill the carrier directly. The carrier pays the invoice minus your deductible, and you pay the difference. If your deductible is bigger than the job, we tell you before we set equipment.

Every dehumidifier and fan photographed in place, serial and hours logged
Moisture readings taken against a dry reference and logged daily
A drying report your adjuster can actually read
An itemized invoice that matches the posted rates line for line

We don't take assignment of benefits and we don't run your claim for you. Your policy is between you and your carrier. Our job is to make the paperwork airtight.

Equipment is billed per calendar day or part of one, from placement to pickup, one-day minimum. Rented units are billed at the same rate; rental tickets are on file.
After-hours is before 7 a.m., after 5 p.m., weekends, and federal holidays, measured from the time of the call.
Fixing the cause of the leak (plumbing, roof, HVAC) is billed at our standard service rates, not this schedule.
A deposit equal to the emergency response fee and the first day of equipment is due when you sign. The invoice is billed to your carrier against your claim number. Your deductible and anything the carrier doesn't pay is due from you within 15 days of the carrier's payment or determination.
The version in effect on the day you sign is the one on your invoice. Prior versions available on request.
We do not do mold remediation or rebuild. We refer both and stay on for drying and verification.

Why Dirty Works

We Find Why It's Wet

🔍

The Source, Not Just the Puddle

A drying crew dries what it sees. We also fix rooftop units, walk-ins, and ice machines, so when the water is coming from the AC or a drain line we fix that too, and it doesn't come back next month.

A Northshore Drive-In: The Roof Was the Job

Water on the ductwork above the ceiling, wet tiles, walls damp. We found the building under strong negative pressure pulling humid air in, and a roof leak soaking the insulation. Six days of logged readings above the ceiling showed the attic taking on water again and again while two rooftop units and a dehumidifier ran around the clock. Drying alone wasn't going to fix it. The roof was.

Common Questions

Water Damage FAQ

Will my insurance cover this?

Sudden water damage from a burst line, an equipment failure, or storm damage to the roof is covered under most commercial property policies. Slow leaks and neglected maintenance usually aren't. Call your agent first and get a claim number. We'll document the cause honestly either way.

What does it cost me?

Your deductible, plus anything your policy doesn't cover. Most commercial water deductibles are a flat $1,000 to $5,000; your agent can tell you in five minutes and we ask on the first call. Named-storm deductibles are often a percentage of the building value and can run past $10,000, so on storm work we check that number before the first unit goes in. No coverage, or a deductible bigger than the job? Same schedule, and you're the customer. We tell you that before we start, not after.

How long does drying take?

Three to five days for most commercial spaces once the source is stopped. We take readings every day and pull the equipment when the materials are back to normal, not on a calendar.

Do you do mold?

No. If we find it, we photograph it, leave it alone, and refer you to a remediation contractor. We stay on for the drying.

What if the insurance company cuts the bill?

We send the documentation: the signed rate schedule, photos, readings, and the drying report. Most cuts are questions about proof, and we have the proof. Whatever the carrier doesn't pay is due from the policyholder, and that's in the authorization you sign.
