What to Expect From Our Mitigation Services
Mitigation is the first phase of recovery after your property has suffered an emergency such as a fire, flood or storm. With the immediate assistance of experienced mitigation professionals, you can prevent additional damage and speed up the property restoration process that follows. At Breakwater Roofing & Restoration, we use many of the following mitigation processes immediately after an accident or emergency event.
- Assessment – We check the site and identify immediate hazards to prevent risks.
- Containment – Our team seals off affected areas using barriers and sheeting.
- Water Extraction – Industrial pumps and dryers remove water and moisture.
- Temporary Supports – Beams and bracing stabilize structures after damage.
- Debris Removal – Damaged materials are carefully removed from the site.

Fire, storm and water damage restoration can become time-consuming and costly if not resolved quickly. With these and other crucial mitigation steps, we help protect residential and commercial buildings from substantial damage and prepare them for a faster, more efficient repair and rebuilding process.
Key Mitigation Solutions in Atlanta
Several mitigation solutions are particularly important due to how quickly damage can escalate and cause lasting issues. A quick response can be the difference between a manageable recovery and extensive, costly repairs. Here are three urgent practices we use to protect homes and business locations in the aftermath of a disaster.
Emergency Tarp Service
After significant storm or fire damage, the interior of a building may be exposed to the elements. Our emergency tarp service is a fast-response mitigation step that covers and seals damaged areas including roofs, windows and exterior walls. Roofing and mitigation specialists secure a heavy-duty waterproof tarp over these openings to block water intrusion, reduce contents damage, and preserve structural integrity. This temporary protection helps prevent further loss and supports your insurance claim while permanent repairs are being arranged.
Mold Remediation
Mold growth is a common issue faced by homeowners and businesses after storm damage and water leaks. This mold can form within days of the incident and may result in allergies and respiratory problems while also affecting drywall, insulation and flooring. At Breakwater Roofing & Restoration, our proven mold remediation service detects the growth and takes all contaminated materials for cleaning or removal. We then use an antimicrobial treatment to eliminate growth and target the underlying cause of the issue to prevent future mold development.
Storm Damage
High winds, hail and flooding cause significant damage to Atlanta buildings every year. These severe weather events can lead to roof damage, broken windows, siding issues and interior flooding. Our storm damage mitigation services help control these emergencies and prevent further loss for homes, apartments, offices, warehouses and other properties. We secure exposed areas with board-up and emergency tarping, extract standing water and remove vulnerable items for cleaning. Our team then dries the affected areas and prepares the property for the next stage of restoration.
Common Questions About Mitigation Services
How soon should I contact a mitigation company after property damage?
You should try to contact a mitigation company within the first few hours after property damage occurs. A fast response is required as water, mold, smoke, wind and other conditions can worsen over time and increase the amount of restoration work needed.
What types of damage require emergency mitigation?
Water, fire, storm, smoke and sewage are the most common types of damage that require immediate emergency mitigation. These frequent causes of property damage often occur unexpectedly and can lead to mold development, structural issues, and the increased presence of contaminated materials.
Does insurance cover mitigation services?
Most homeowners and commercial insurance policies cover emergency mitigation services to reduce the impact of property damage and save money on repair costs. Leading mitigation and restoration companies partner with insurance companies to provide emergency responses to damage.
