Muck, Gut & Tarp
Muck, Gut, & Tarp Response Teams assist the homeowner in protecting their home from further damage and preparing their home to dry before repairs can begin. They install blue tarps, remove water-damaged drywall, rugs, some flooring, and household contents and help preserve those items that can be salvaged. They sanitize the home to prevent mold growth.
