    Networking Strategies for People Who Hate Networking



    Three quick tips to make real connections in business -- and take the nervousness out of networking.

    As all business owners know, just putting your name out there isn't enough to bring new clients in the door. If you want to attract more prospects you're going to have to grow your network. While a room full of strangers talking about their jobs might not be anyone's idea of a good time, planning out a strategy before an event and following through afterward can help ease your anxieties about networking.

    Fire & Smoke Damage

    We understand the trauma and terror that a fire in your home can cause. Every year, fire devastates the lives of thousands of families. If the tragedy of fire should strike your home, we can help! 

    When you need us, we can provide Emergency Services 24 hrs. per day, 7 days per week, 365 days a year. We offer a full range of services including Emergency Board-up and securing of your home, deodorization, complete cleaning, rebuilding, and restoration of your home and contents to their original condition.

    Water Damage

    Water Damage in your home can be damaging and devastating, and improperly dealt with can result in an unhealthy environment for you and your family. If water damage should occur from exterior flooding, broken water pipes, sewer backups, or any other source, we can help.

    The quicker mitigation services begin, the less damage occurs. That's why we strive to call you within 1 hour of your call for help, and have crews on site if needed within 2 hrs of your call (24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year). Our services include emergency water extraction and mitigation, Dry-out with "state of the art" equipment, Carpet, Vinyl, Hardwood, and other floor covering restoration or replacement, insulation, drywall, and paint repairs, mold remediation, and contents Drying and Restoration.

    Mold

    Mold in your home or business can damage the structural integrity of your property and cause some mild to serious health problems to at risk people ( children, elderly, diabetics, people on antibiotics, people going through chemotherapy, immunocompromised people, …).

    Mold can be caused by a large variety of conditions in your home besides having a water damage incident. It can be caused by an improperly balanced HVAC system, a humidistat malfunctioning, a compromised vapor barrier, cracks in an exterior wall allowing moisture to migrate inside, and the list goes on and on. If one of these problems occur, mold can become a problem rather quickly. At the first sign of mold or musty odors, it is better to act quickly than to ignore it. 

    We are Certified in Mold Remediation by the IICRC and the IAQA. We can help you if you have any kind of mold problem, from small little isolated areas of mold, to whole houses that are contaminated. We can also help you to discover why you are having a mold problem, if the problem isn't evident. 

    Whatever your mold problem, we can help.
