Giving Back with Purpose: A Guide to Giving Tuesday

After enjoying turkey with all the trimmings and time with family while we count our blessings on Thanksgiving, many people follow up by helping their communities on Giving Tuesday. Since 2012, this global movement has encouraged us to give our time, donations, or voice to help others or a cause we’re passionate about. From this one day of giving, the sentiment has expanded to promote giving throughout the year.

How STOP Restoration Helps

Each of us has unique talents and expertise that can be used to help others. For the teams at STOP Restoration, that means helping people throughout our communities via our locations that are spread across the country. We assist individual homeowners, businesses, and entire communities that have suffered disasters such as flooding, a storm, or fire.

These types of disasters can result in a great deal of stress as personal belongings, business equipment and inventory, dwellings, and other buildings can suffer large amounts of damage. And in the case of a fire, the damage is often two-fold, with some occurring as a result of the smoke and fire and some from the water used to put it out. In either case, professionals are likely needed to help restore homes and businesses because of the scale of the job and the expertise needed to do the work safely and properly.

After water damage, for example, mold can grow if wet areas aren’t dried quickly or thoroughly enough. And if the damage is a result of widespread flooding, the water may carry contaminants. Fire can leave behind soot that can make you sick as well as water-related issues.

That’s where we come in. Our certified technicians at each of our individual locations have the knowledge and expertise to handle jobs of any size, making sure your home or business is safe to use again if at all possible. We’re staffed 24/7 to provide fast response times when we’re needed in the communities we serve, since it’s impossible to predict when disaster strikes. And we know that disasters can feel overwhelming and upsetting, so we’re pleased to give homeowners, businesses, and communities a sense of relief in knowing that we’re ready and able to provide the help they need.

The following are some of the services we provide:
