We would like to offer you an opportunity to lower your loss ratio and improve the service you provide to your insureds. We are offering a training program designed to educate you and your staff on how to reduce the size of many of your property losses. It’s called loss mitigation.

Your insureds are not trained to think about things such as water migration. They don’t understand how gravity and capillary action cause water to spread rapidly into non affected areas. When left untreated for even a short time, the loss worsens, the costs go up and you stand a chance of the insured experiencing more problems than necessary. What we need to do is STOP THE LOSS BEFORE THINGS GET WORSE. This doesn’t just apply to water damage, but most property losses.

If a mitigation specialist is sent out in less than 24 hours, many dollars can be saved. These people are trained to stabilize the damage and keep it from becoming worse. The result is less damage, lower cost, improved loss ratios, and satisfied customers.

Your insureds are not trained to think about things such as acid damage from smoke. If they experience a complex fire (where synthetic material is burned such as plastic) they have no idea that corrosive gases are created. Those gases can cause major secondary damage when left untreated for just a few days or even hours.

How can a subject that’s smaller than dust and as old as dirt become so popular in such a short period of time?

Articles in the Sunday Oregonian, People magazine, and prime time TV, such as 48 Hours, have all participated in the rapid growth of this old subject.
