Loss Control
Services and recommendations intended to reduce the likelihood or severity of future losses.
Mitigation
Actions taken to reduce damage after an event or to prevent further loss, such as drying after water intrusion.
Risk Reduction
Practical steps that lower exposure to loss, such as maintaining roofs, securing handrails, and updating wiring.
Defensible Space
A buffer area around structures that reduces wildfire risk by managing vegetation and combustible materials.
Ice Dam
A ridge of ice that forms at a roof edge and can cause water intrusion; prevention focuses on insulation, ventilation, and safe snow removal.
De-icing
A method of reducing ice buildup, often used for roof edges and walkways to reduce damage and slip hazards.
