Insurance carriers often require documentation showing the extent of damage and the mitigation efforts performed. Professional documentation provides transparency, supports insurance claims, and helps property managers communicate effectively with owners and tenants.

Winter in Northern Idaho is breathtaking, especially when the peaks of Schweitzer Mountain are covered in fresh powder. But for homeowners in Sandpoint, Sagle, and throughout Bonner County, that beautiful snow can hide a destructive secret: Ice Dams. At North Idaho Flood and Fire , we’ve seen firsthand how a small buildup of ice can lead to a major restoration project.
