“When we thought everything was ruined, LM Companies showed up within hours.”

That's what the homeowner told us at 2 AM, standing in 4 inches of water with her two kids asleep at her sister's place across town.

By morning, we had the water extracted, fans running, and a plan on the table.
This is the part of the job that doesn't show up in marketing photos, but it's the only part that actually matters.

If disaster hits your home, you shouldn't have to figure out the next step alone. We answer the phone 24/7, and we'll be there within hours, not days.

The "storm prep checklist" floating around Facebook is missing the one thing that actually causes most claims.

It's not gutters. It's not branches. It's your sump pump battery backup — and 80% of homes we inspect don't have one or haven't tested it since installation.

When the power goes out during a storm (which is when you need the pump most), no battery = flooded basement.

Quick storm season checklist that actually matters:
– Test sump pump AND battery backup
– Clear gutters and verify downspout drainage
– Trim branches within 6 ft of roof
– Confirm your policy covers water backup (call your agent — don't guess)

Summer fun shouldn’t end with water damage ☀️💧
Pools, AC systems, summer storms, and clogged gutters cause more damage than most homeowners realize.

“What NOT To Do” After Water Damage

🚫 STOP! Don’t do these after discovering water damage:
❌ Use household fans immediately
❌ Ignore wet drywall
❌ Wait “to see if it dries.”
❌ Leave soaked carpet untreated

Mold can begin growing in as little as 24–48 hours.

Not all storm damage is obvious.
After strong winds, check for:
• Missing or loose shingles
• Damaged siding
• Debris impact marks
• Leaks in ceilings or attic

Small issues now can become major problems later if left unaddressed.

After water damage, mold is one of the biggest concerns and one of the most misunderstood.
What many homeowners don’t realize:

If your basement smells damp right now… don’t ignore it.
That “wet” smell could mean:
• Hidden moisture
• Early mold growth
• Water intrusion you can’t yet see

The sooner it’s addressed, the easier it is to fix.
Waiting allows the problem to grow — often behind the scenes.
