About Our
Mitigation Services
Mitigation is the process of preventing additional damage after an initial event such as a storm, flood, fire, or vehicle impact. If mitigation is delayed, the damage can escalate rapidly, leading to much higher repair costs and more complicated claims. That is why U.S. Public Adjusters has a dedicated mitigation response team ready to move at a moment’s notice.Our mitigation team is trained, certified, and fully equipped to handle a wide range of emergency situations. From water extraction and structural drying to debris removal and temporary protection, we know how to stabilize your property. The work we do during the first hours following damage can significantly reduce your overall losses and help secure a stronger insurance claim.
Our Mitigation Services
Water Removal and Drying
Water damage spreads quickly and silently. We extract standing water, dry affected areas, and use specialized equipment to prevent mold growth and structural damage. This service is critical after floods, burst pipes, or firefighting efforts.
Fire and Smoke Containment
After a fire, smoke and soot continue to damage surfaces and air quality. We contain the damage, remove affected materials, and clean salvageable areas to protect your property and health.
Storm and Wind Damage Protection
When severe weather causes roof damage, broken windows, or downed trees, we secure the structure and clear debris to prevent additional exposure to the elements.
Temporary Board Ups and Roof Tarping
If your property is exposed due to broken windows, doors, or damaged roofing, we perform board ups and install tarps to prevent weather related losses and unauthorized access.
Vehicle Impact Stabilization
If a car or truck crashes into your building, structural damage can make the property unsafe. We assess the damage and reinforce the affected areas while preparing for the full claims process.
Dehumidification and Mold Prevention
Moisture creates the perfect conditions for mold to grow. We use industrial grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate excess moisture and prevent future health and structural issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation is the process of stopping damage from getting worse. Restoration is the process of repairing and rebuilding after the damage has been contained. U.S. Public Adjusters provides mitigation directly and assists with finding qualified contractors for the restoration phase.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
We aim to respond as fast as possible. In many cases, we can arrive on site within hours of your call. Because we serve a specific region, we maintain a quick response time for emergency situations.
Do I need to call my insurance company before calling you?
No. In fact, calling us first is often the best move. We can help you take the right steps immediately, document everything for your claim, and prevent costly mistakes. We will then assist you with filing the claim properly.
Does insurance cover mitigation services?
Most property insurance policies cover reasonable mitigation costs. In many cases, insurance companies require mitigation to be performed to prevent further damage. We help ensure all actions we take are properly documented and submitted for reimbursement.
What if my damage is caused by something unusual like a vehicle crash?
We handle many types of damage including vehicle impacts. Our team knows how to respond to rare and complex situations, secure the structure, and prepare all documentation needed for a strong insurance claim.
