What does it mean to mitigate a loss?
To prevent further damage. In the case of a water loss, this requires responding in a timely manner.
What about unsanitary water loss?
Unsanitary losses, whether gray water or black water, require speciality safe work procedures to protect people.
What about mould and asbestos?
In the event of a water loss, pre-existing conditions may require the removal of mould and/or asbestos containing materials. Safe removal is necessary to maintain the health of occupants and workers.
Should I fear asbestos?
Undisturbed asbestos is safe.
When should I be concerned?
