section-sechoir-1250

RSAS intervenes for insurance company requests in critical situations where furniture and buildings have been altered or destroyed after a disaster: flooding, fire, wind damage, vandalism, etc.

When we are called to the scene of a damaged property, we identify the first actions to take in order to secure the area and assets. RSAS accompanies the victim in the restoration process all the while respecting deadlines and parameters established by the insurer.

RSAS uses the best equipment and recognized industry techniques in order to give the highest quality service.

Whatever our top recommendations may be, we always send them to your insurance company as quickly as possible. This way, when disaster experts or evaluators are rushed to the scene, they can validate our estimate so we can proceed. Being insured, you may ask your insurance at any time to avail of RSAS services for any emergency or reconstruction.
