Vehicle Impact Restoration
When a vehicle runs into your home, there’s no telling what damage might take place. Vehicle impact is the most common cause of structural ruin and instability to a property. The impact can cause slight cosmetic damage—broken window or dented siding—or more severe structural damage—natural gas lines, water pipes, electrical and sewer drains. Whatever it is, this can create a multitude of safety concerns. Secondary damage is also a possibility due to leaking oil, fuel, battery acid and antifreeze. But don’t stress: we’re here to help.
Restoring Your Home to Safety
Saskatoon Fire and Flood understands how destructive the damage can be to a home or business when a vehicle impact occurs. Our team of trained professionals will work diligently, putting all their skills and energy into getting your business or home back to its pre-loss condition.
Access to any damaged areas must be restricted so an evaluation can be done. An emergency board up and weather proofing must be completed (if necessary) and all damaged materials removed from the site. Once these things are done the rebuilding of the structure, landscaping, and fencing can commence
