Natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes can strike without warning, leaving families scrambling to evacuate their homes quickly. Homeowners in the Houston area and Gulf Coast region know firsthand how devastating hurricanes alone can be, and so do we.
We helped hundreds of families in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. We helped residents migrate from Lake Charles as a result of Hurricane Laura. We have extensive experience in emergency moving for families and individuals impacted by natural disasters.
Our team is trained to handle moves in difficult conditions, including inclement weather, power outages, and road closures. We work efficiently to help protect your belongings and prevent further damage, so you can focus on what really matters: you and your family’s safety and wellbeing.
We empathize with the emotional stress, financial strain, and various challenges our customers may encounter during natural disasters, including:
1
Protecting Family
Evacuating during natural disasters can be especially challenging for multigenerational families. You may need to consider the mobility and medical needs of grandparents or young children while ensuring everyone's safety in the face of adversity.
2
Protecting Belongings
In the rush to evacuate, protecting all belongings is likely not top priority, leaving items susceptible to damage or total losses. Additionally, limited time to cover pipes, windows and other parts of your home can open the door to extended damages to repair.
3
Insurance Claims
After the storm hits, it's time to assess the wreckage and pray your insurance company doesn't turn out to be a disaster itself. You’re navigating the murky waters of insurance claims while avoiding financial frustratoins from dealing with shady contractors. Not to mention the piles of paperwork associated with all of it.
With challenges such as these on your hands, the last thing you want to do is a DIY move, leaving you packing, loading and transporting all your belongings yourself. Our team is here to eliminate frustrations and available to assist you with your emergency moving needs every step of the way.
Apartment fires and floods leave residents with little time to salvage their belongings. It's essential to have a reliable moving company you can trust when you must move at a moment's notice.
Our emergency moving services help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible. We know just how to handle emergency moves in apartment buildings, expertly navigating stairs and limited freight elevator access.
We work with the intention of helping ease the burden of the myriad of challenges you may be facing, including:
1
Constant Communication With Uncertain Updates
Your property manager is handling every aspect of repairs, requiring ongoing communication with contractors, the corporate office, the claims representative, and of course, you. Meanwhile, you're just ready to return back to your normal life but just found out that won't happen soon since damages are worse than originally assessed. There is a lot of uncertainty and moving parts when it comes to recovery, restoration, and repairs that can be overwhelming to say the least.
2
Avoiding Additional Damages
When the unexpected happens, it's crucial to act quickly to salvage what you can. This means you still have belongings you left behind that may be in unsuitable conditions once you assess the damage. Depending on the time lapse, it could become a hazardous situation if wet furniture and other damaged items sit too long. Now, you must remove these belongings without compromising you and your family’s health or further damaging your home.
3
Holding Carriers Accountable
As with any disaster, things can get even messier once insurance gets involved. You’re working to ensure you receive proper insurance coverage while the property is doing the same with their insurance carrier. Between the documentation and coordination of everything to get it all done, burnout is bound to happen without proper, prompt assistance from the right people.
