This property has officially been released and cleared for our team to begin the mitigation process. Our team is documenting damaged contents, coordinating the disposal of non-salvageable items, and beginning the pack-out and cleaning of salvageable contents.

We’re also getting started on the necessary drying and mitigation to help prevent further damage and deterioration to the property and its contents.

From board-up to content cleaning, drying, mitigation, and beyond, The FIRM does it all 💪🏠

When disaster strikes, you need a team that can handle it from start to finish. We’re here to help get your property back on track.

We’re in the field fighting for our clients 💪🏠

Today, our team is out meeting with multiple homeowners and their insurance adjusters, making sure the damage is properly documented and your claim is being handled correctly.

We don’t just show up, make repairs, and walk away. We advocate for you throughout the process and fight to make sure you receive the payment you deserve to properly restore your property.

You’ve already been through enough. Let our team help you navigate the insurance process and get your home or business back to where it belongs.

Storm damage doesn’t always mean a total loss, but even a small tree can cause significant damage when it lands on your home 🌳🏠

Our crew removed the tree from the back of this home, cleared the affected area, and installed a temporary tarp over the damaged roof to help protect the property until permanent repairs can be completed.

From emergency tree removal to temporary protection and full repairs, we’re here to help homeowners get their properties secured and back to normal 💪

Storm Damage. One Team. From Start to Finish.

This home sustained significant damage during the recent storm when a large tree fell directly through the structure.

Our team responded quickly to secure the property and prevent further damage; removing the tree, adding additional structural supports, and installing a tarp to protect the home until permanent repairs could begin.

This is what we do. The FIRM is here when disaster strikes, from emergency mitigation and securing your home to the repairs and rebuild that come next.

We don’t just clean up the damage. We help put your home back together.

🚨 NORTHWEST INDIANA — PLEASE REPORT YOUR STORM DAMAGE! 🚨

Whether you had major destruction or what seems like minor damage, please take a few minutes to report it through Indiana 211 Damage Reporting.

🏠 Roof or siding damage
🌳 Trees or limbs down
💧 Water intrusion
⚡ Damage related to the storms or power outages
🏚️ Structural damage
🚗 Property damage
🛠️ Even damage you have already repaired or plan to handle through insurance

PLEASE REPORT IT.

Why does this matter?

These reports aren’t just individual complaints — they help document the overall impact of the storm on our communities.

Indiana 211 damage reports are used by local officials and the Indiana Department of Homeland Security to help:

• Determine the extent and estimated dollar amount of damage
• Establish the overall needs of affected communities
• Determine the next steps in the disaster-recovery process
• Help communities meet thresholds for disaster declarations and potential relief funding

📢 If only the worst damage gets reported, the numbers do not accurately reflect what actually happened to our community.

Your home does not have to be destroyed for your damage to matter.

Your insurance status doesn’t change the importance of documenting the overall impact either. Every legitimate damage report helps create a more complete picture of what our area experienced.

👉 REPORT YOUR DAMAGE HERE:

https://in211.communityos.org/

You can also call 211 or 866-211-9966 for Indiana 211.

It only takes a few minutes. Please report your damage and SHARE THIS POST so your neighbors, friends and family know to report theirs too.

The more accurately our community’s damage is documented, the better officials can understand the resources and assistance our area may need. ❤️‍🩹
