A natural disaster is profoundly disruptive. It can irredeemably destroy your life and your livelihood. But it can also damage the structure of your property, leaving it uninhabitable.
Natural disasters are associated with destructive fires, smoke, water, and storms that leave behind massive damage.
When a natural disaster strikes your property, you need immediate evacuation to a safe place.

Then the home or building should be cleaned, dried, repaired, and restored to its original condition before you can move back in.

What is disaster restoration?
It is an emergency service for your home or business after a natural disaster strikes. Following a disaster, and when the people are safe and evacuated from the disaster area, the property needs to be cleaned, restored, and in some cases rebuilt.
A disaster restoration service is necessary to quickly and carefully remove the remaining items from the property to prevent further damage. Items that can be cleaned and restored are salvaged, packed out, stored in a facility, and only returned to the property when possible. Then the property is repaired or rebuilt to its previous condition.
What disaster restoration services do we provide?
- 1. Water damage restoration
Water is one of the most common elements of natural disasters. Whether it is floodwaters or heavy rainfall, water is more likely to seep into your property during a natural disaster. When water damage occurs, you should react to it quickly so that the water does not spread through porous building materials, causing structural damage and mold growth.At West Central Equipment and Restoration, we provide timely and reliable water damage restoration services in Lecanto, Florida. You can count on us to use advanced water extraction equipment and cleaning products to remove the excess water, clean the place, dry the areas, and repair the resulting damage. - 2.

In many natural disasters, fires usually break out, causing massive structural damage. Equally, the smoke and soot associated with the fires can destroy surfaces and objects in residential and commercial buildings.When fire breaks out on your property, it is necessary to quickly put out the fire and remove items from the building. But there will still be lingering smoke and soot that can cause extensive and more permanent damage if not properly cleaned.At West Central, we provide fire and smoke damage restoration services as part of our disaster restoration service.
After a fire disaster, we help restore homes and businesses, providing structural repair and stabilization, cleaning of soot and smoke damage, and removing the lingering smoke odor.
