What Does ‘Pre-Loss Condition’ Mean? | SERVPRO of Central Buffalo

7/26/2023 (Permalink)

Has your Western NY house been damaged in a recent storm? Call SERVPRO of Central Buffalo to get your home back in shape.

If you’ve ever seen a SERVPRO® ad or visited our website, you’ve probably seen us talk about restoring a home or business to “preloss condition.” But what exactly does that mean?

Sometimes we have to hit pause and remember that those who don’t have their hands in restoration and construction work every day may not be familiar with the jargon we use. Honestly, though, this term is a pretty simple one!

When we talk about doing work on your home that returns it to preloss condition, we literally mean what your house was like before it was impacted by damage. That means the way it looked and felt before your water heater started leaking or a kitchen fire took out a wall of cabinets.

That’s true for both our restoration work, where we mitigate the damage you’ve experienced, and our construction work, where we reconstruct after mitigating damage.

What Makes SERVPRO Different
Wondering why you should choose SERVPRO when you need construction services? There are many reasons! 

We are your neighbors. We’re locally owned and operated, meaning we know the ins and outs of our Buffalo community. We know how to navigate regulations and how to obtain the necessary permitting to complete construction projects.

We have a “restore vs. replace” mentality. When a disaster like water damage impacts your home, the costs can quickly add up. One of our first priorities when starting on a project is to save as much as we can. That helps limit costs and it also helps to preserve as many of your precious belongings as possible.

We handle the whole process from start to finish. There’s no need to work with multiple vendors when SERVPRO can handle it all! When you call us, we’ll take it from there, handling everything from an initial inspection and estimate to mitigation, restoration and construction. That ensures we have our eyes on all the details, all the time.

We recreate the home you love so much. When we provide restoration and construction services, our focus is on making your house “Like it never even happened.” That’s more than a simple catchphrase to us—it means that we will use similar products and processes to those used in the initial construction of your home, restoring it back to preloss condition.
