Emergency Restoration for Hickory and the Catawba Valley
Hurricane Helene in 2024 brought historic flooding to the Lookout Shoals area along the Catawba River, affecting approximately 100 homes in Catawba County, with about 50 additional homes sustaining major storm damage across the county. During recovery efforts, Hickory Regional Airport served as a refueling stop for Army helicopters. These events underscore the challenges severe weather can create throughout the Catawba Valley. Hickory's longstanding furniture manufacturing industry also creates restoration needs for plants, warehouses, and showrooms. From Viewmont and Springs Road to Mountain View, property owners need dependable emergency restoration services when water, fire, or storms cause unexpected damage.
Commercial Emergency Restoration Services in Hickory

Commercial Fire & Smoke Damage
Woodworking, finishing, and manufacturing operations can face fire risks from combustible dust and certain finishing materials. Restoration addresses soot on surfaces, equipment, and ductwork, helping businesses evaluate cleanup needs before resuming normal production.
Commercial Mold
Humid summers can create moisture concerns in large warehouses and furniture showrooms, especially where upholstered inventory is stored. Containing affected areas helps limit disruption while the moisture source and cleanup requirements are addressed.
Commercial Storm/Disaster Damage
