2. How quickly can JLS mobilize an emergency response team to my property?
We understand the urgency of a disaster. Our in-house team of professionals allows us to provide same-day or next-day mobilization to begin immediate mitigation, which is critical for preventing secondary damage like mold.

When you call our 24/7 line, your call is answered by a real person who is prepared to help direct your call, answer your urgent questions, and dispatch our emergency response team immediately.
4. Why is immediate response critical for water and fire damage?
Time is of the essence. For water damage, immediate mitigation prevents extensive damage to materials and stops the growth of mold. For fire damage, quick response contains the damage, removes soot and smoke odors, and stabilizes the structure.
