                                                    This week we respond to a disturbing murmur we are hearing from many many great leaders in the disaster restoration space.

                                                    Great companies and fantastic restoration professionals are being worn down and losing hope because of the increasing weight and shenanigans of the carriers and the overall issues to get paid.   To only be paid for the work that was properly done.   If you are feeling this weight, we invite you to join the conversation, and let's lift one another back up.
