BELFOR Property Restoration

BELFOR is the worldwide leader in disaster recovery and property restoration. Their name might not be well-​known to those outside of the business community, but they offer comprehensive recovery services to provide efficient cleanup and damage restoration to put lives, homes, and businesses back together as quickly as possible.
BELFOR has a proven track record of rapid response and comprehensive services for many many decades, which has made them the contractor of choice for a lot of homeowners, governments, corporations, businesses, educational facilities, and other property owners that have experienced property damage from fire, water, mold, wind, earthquake, or other natural or man-​made catastrophes.
I have used BELFOR personally and have recommended them to my clients for years, and they have always stepped up and helped manage those difficult times when your water heater floods the condo, or a tree comes crashing through your roof, or even something much more devastating for my clients around the country. I’ve seen them rebuild my neighbor’s kitchen after a grease fire, and also been involved in the restoration and rebuilding of a major office complex after a hurricane.
For my business customers BELFOR offers complete ²⁴⁄₇ emergency response services including: power generation, water extraction, emergency board up and barrier erection, temporary roofing, mold remediation, document freeze drying, structural drying, dehumidification, hazardous materials cleanup, electronics restoration, data recovery, duct cleaning, decontamination services, machinery retrofitting, vital records recovery, property salvage, contents restoration, project management, and consulting services. This single-​source accountability allows the most streamlined and cost-​effective path to final restoration and getting things back to normal.
The way they work is pretty simple, BELFOR pre-​negotiates the cleanup and restoration rates with your insurance carrier, and then during a time of emergency you just sit back and let them do the work. The bills go directly to your insurance company.
In case you don’t know, they are an international firm that owns a massive fleet of remediation equipment, plus they have exclusive agreements with major suppliers of power generators and other specialized disaster recovery equipment. This unmatched capacity helps ensure that BELFOR’s clients will have the resources needed in the event of a single-​building event, or a widespread disaster.
If you happen to be a fan of the TV show, Undercover Boss, there is a very entertaining episode where the CEO of the company goes behind the scenes to learn about extracting water from carpets, mold remediation, and restoring paper documents. Very funny scenes, but it gives you a great appreciation for the work done by these people.
BELFOR’s local office can be found on Crenshaw Street just off of Anderson, and north of the Tampa airport in that small industrial park. Get to know them now, and they’ll be there to help you in the event of a disaster.
