Disaster restoration is the process of repairing property damaged by natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, covering services such as water damage restoration, fire damage repair, and mold remediation. Water damage restoration involves inspecting for safety, pumping out standing water, and thoroughly drying and sanitizing affected areas, while fire damage restoration often requires dealing with both the fire's aftermath and the water used to extinguish it, along with hazardous smoke and soot. Mold remediation is particularly hazardous due to airborne spores, requiring full-body protective gear, and the salvageability of materials depends on their porosity—glass can be fully cleaned, while drywall may be unsalvageable. The industry has grown significantly due to severe natural disasters and development in prone areas, and is increasingly being consolidated by private equity firms attracted to its recession-proof nature. The global post-storm remediation market is projected to expand from $70 billion in 2024 to $92 billion by 2029, reflecting enduring demand driven by climate change.
