Whether you are dealing with sudden water damage, a devastating fire, hidden mold growth, or a leaking roof, our technicians are on standby to restore safety to your home or property. To deliver these critical, time-sensitive property restoration and mitigation services, we must collect and process certain personal and property-specific information.
This Privacy Policy governs the data collection, processing, protection, and disclosure practices of our company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively referred to as "the Company," "we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our clients, property owners, and website visitors while ensuring a rapid, seamless deployment of emergency services.
1. Comprehensive Scope of Information Collected
To deploy structural drying equipment, initiate mold remediation, or construct emergency roof tarps, we collect detailed personal and structural records. This information is gathered across three core touchpoints: directly from you via emergency phone lines/web forms, automatically via web infrastructure, and through authorized third parties (such as insurance carriers or property managers).
A. Information Provided Voluntarily by You
- Primary Contact Identifiers: Your full name, telephone numbers (including mobile numbers for real-time SMS dispatch alerts), primary billing address, and email addresses.
- Property Loss Details: The physical geographic address of the affected property requiring emergency mitigation, site access keys or gate codes, structural history, and the specific nature of the catastrophe (e.g., structural collapse, Category 3 graywater/blackwater intrusion, soot distribution, active roof leaks).
- Insurance Verification & Financial Data: Insurance company name, active policy number, assigned claim tracking number, deductibles, adjusted scope documents, and payment details (such as credit card records or banking routing numbers for electronic ACH disbursements).
- Communications and Documentation: Physical and digital photographs or videos capturing initial structural damage, moisture logs, textual messages shared with dispatch operators, and legal authorizations signed via electronic or physical formats (e.g., Work Authorization Forms, Direct Payment Assignments).
B. Information Automatically Tracked via Online Platforms
- Technical Logs: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser configurations, device hardware footprints, internet service provider identifiers, operating system metrics, and clickstream pathways across our service web portals.
- Cookies and Localization Data: Operational cookies deployed to track digital lead attribution, session configurations, and rough geographic placement to route your digital request directly to the nearest regional emergency dispatch hub.
C. Information Sourced via Authorized Third Parties
In property damage scenarios, we frequently receive records about you from third-party professionals involved in the claim ecosystem. This includes references from your primary homeowners or commercial property insurance providers, independent insurance adjusting firms, plumbing sub-contractors handling leak localizations, real estate property managers, or public municipal authorities handling emergency structural condemnations.
2. Legal and Operational Foundations for Data Utilization
We process your data strictly under defined operational and legal frameworks. Your privacy is balanced against the immediate imperative to mitigate structural failures, preserve real estate assets, and prevent health hazards related to microbial amplification (such as toxic mold growth).
- Emergency Infrastructure Deployment: To coordinate and dispatch our certified restoration technicians, structural drying specialists, and project managers to the physical site of damage instantly.
- Property Rehabilitation Execution: To complete structural drying, thermal imaging diagnostics, pack-outs of personal property, soot decontamination, content cleaning, and emergency roof tarping.
- Insurance Facilitation & Claim Management: To share real-time structural drying telemetry, psychrometric moisture mapping charts, photo-documentation, and itemized line-item invoicing (using industry-standard platforms such as Xactimate) directly with your insurance provider to expedite claim settlement and processing.
- Transactional Processes: To facilitate payment collection, process progress payments for multi-phase reconstructions, and coordinate financial retainers.
- Legal Obligations & Compliance: To strictly adhere to regional environmental regulations, hazardous waste hauling guidelines, OSHA occupational safety mandates, structural engineering permits, and local building code certifications.
Critical Telecommunications Disclosure (SMS Text Messaging): We utilize text messaging infrastructure to provide automated real-time dispatch progress alerts, technician arrival estimates, and urgent project updates. Mobile phone numbers and implicit consent collected specifically for SMS operational tracking are protected with absolute confidentiality and will not be shared or sold to unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Controlled Disclosure and Third-Party Interfaces
We do not sell, rent, or lease your private personal records to advertising networks or third-party data brokers. Because restoration requires a multi-faceted trade response, information sharing is strictly restricted to the following business environments:
- Authorized Subcontractors and Specialization Trades: We may grant access to your property data to trusted specialized trade entities—including licensed master electricians, structural engineering consultants, leak detection experts, and industrial hygienists—solely to fulfill the contracted restoration parameters.
- Insurance Carriers and Legal Adjusters: We pass diagnostic findings, comprehensive drying charts, structural layouts, and comprehensive cost breakdowns to your insurance adjusters to assist in verifying loss coverage under your active policy provisions.
- Corporate Cloud Service Providers: We utilize secure third-party operational tools, including enterprise Customer Relationship Management (CRM) databases, digital field dispatch platforms, mapping tools, SMS gateways, and secure financial clearinghouses. These processors operate under strict confidentiality covenants.
- Statutory and Protective Transfers: We will disclose documentation if requested under court subpoenas, formal regulatory actions, or when necessary to protect the life, health, and structural safety of our crew, our clients, or the general public.
4. Data Retention, Security, and Structural Preservation Logs
Data associated with structural modifications, hazardous substance mitigation (e.g., mold, lead, asbestos), and insurance settlements is retained longer than typical consumer data. This retention is critical to satisfy multi-year construction warranties, insurance audit windows, structural defect statutory limitations, and local health compliance frameworks.
We employ industry-recognized physical, administrative, and technological guardrails. All electronic data fields, damage assessment folders, and payment channels are stored behind protected firewall parameters, encrypted pathways (SSL/TLS protocols), and strict role-based internal access permissions. No system can claim absolute, infallible data safety; however, we regularly review our digital defenses to maximize client data security.
5. Contemporary Regulatory Compliance and Privacy Assertions
Depending on your governing state jurisdiction, state privacy mandates (such as the California Consumer Privacy Act/CCPA, CPRA, and related state-level frameworks) provide explicit entitlements over your personal database logs.
- The Right of Access and Knowledge: The right to demand comprehensive lists detailing what specific pieces of identifiers, structural assessments, or data categories we store.
- The Right of Elimination (Deletion): The right to request complete data erasure. However, note that we are legally allowed to deny elimination requests if retaining records is necessary to finish active structural drying, fulfill structural warranties, defend against construction defect lawsuits, or comply with financial audit requirements.
- The Right of Rectification: The right to modify, correct, or adjust inaccurate data records held within our active operational CRM databases.
- The Right to Opt-Out of Data Distribution: We do not participate in third-party data sales. You have the total assurance of absolute structural and personal privacy.
6. Policy Updates and Iterations
We reserve the right to alter, modify, or update this policy document as regulatory frameworks shift or our physical restoration technologies evolve. Any updates will be denoted via a modified "Last Updated" metadata marker at the top of this document. We recommend clients review this page periodically to remain fully aware of how we protect their personal and property data.
