Which service fits Apollo homes
What you ask for depends on what happened. A leak or flood usually points to dehumidification, structural drying or carpet water extraction. A fire points to smoke damage restoration. Persistent odor or visible growth points to mold prevention. Whatever the start, drying quickly is what keeps a water problem from becoming a mold problem.
Tips when you call from Apollo
- Keep receipts for emergency expenses, such as hotel stays and fans you bought. Insurers may reimburse reasonable costs.
- Tell us if the home has a crawlspace, a slab or an attic with ducts. It changes where water hides and where mold grows.
- Pets and children should stay out of any area with standing water, soot or visible mold until a provider says it is safe.
- Know your deductible. Hail and wind claims often use a percentage, while water claims usually use a flat amount, so the numbers differ by cause.
