Frequently Asked Questions — Shreveport
Is the referral really free for Shreveport homeowners?
Yes, 100% free. You never pay RapidShield anything. The restoration company handles billing directly with your insurance company.
How do you make money if the referral is free?
Restoration companies pay us a referral fee for connecting them with homeowners who need help. This cost is never passed on to you.
How do you vet contractors in Shreveport?
Every contractor must be Louisiana-licensed, fully insured, IICRC-certified (preferred), background-checked, and have verified Shreveport-area restoration experience.
Are your contractors licensed in Louisiana?
Yes. Every contractor in our Shreveport network holds a valid Louisiana contractor license. We verify this before they join our network.
How fast can someone get to my house in Shreveport?
Our partner companies typically arrive on-site within 45 minutes of dispatch in the Shreveport-Bossier metro area.
Do you work with Louisiana insurance companies?
Yes. Our contractors work with every major insurance carrier and are experienced with Louisiana's specific insurance laws including RS 22:1264.
Can you help with Red River flood damage?
Yes. Our contractors have experience with Red River flooding and understand the unique challenges of river flood restoration in Caddo and Bossier Parish.
What if I have ice storm pipe burst damage?
Ice storm pipe bursts are one of the most common emergencies we dispatch for in Shreveport. Our partners specialize in the hidden water damage ice storms cause inside walls and ceilings.
Do you handle FEMA claims in Louisiana?
Our partner contractors can help navigate FEMA assistance applications and NFIP flood insurance claims in addition to standard homeowner's insurance.
What if I'm not happy with the contractor you referred?
Call us immediately. We stand behind our referrals and will work with you to resolve any issues or connect you with an alternative contractor.
Can you help with storm damage that happened weeks ago?
Yes. Storm damage doesn't have to be fresh. Our contractors can assess and repair damage from past storms, including unresolved Ice Storm Fern damage.
Do you serve Bossier City as well as Shreveport?
Yes. Our dispatch network covers all of Shreveport, Bossier City, and surrounding Caddo and Bossier Parish communities.
What areas of Caddo and Bossier Parish do you cover?
We cover all of Caddo Parish and Bossier Parish, plus portions of Webster and DeSoto Parish. Call for specific coverage questions.
What's the difference between RapidShield and SERVPRO?
SERVPRO is a franchise that performs restoration work. RapidShield is a dispatch service that connects you with the best available contractor for your specific emergency — which may include SERVPRO franchisees or independent contractors.
Do you charge homeowners anything at all?
Never. Our service is completely free to homeowners. Period.
How do I document damage for my Louisiana insurance claim?
Photograph everything from multiple angles, record video walkthroughs, create a written inventory, and save all receipts. Our contractors can help with professional documentation.
What if my insurance company denies my claim?
Louisiana RS 22:1264 provides homeowner protections. Our contractors help document damage to insurance standards and can recommend public adjusters or attorneys if needed.
Can you help with both ice storm and water damage at the same time?
Yes. Most ice storm damage involves water damage. Our contractors are experienced with the complex, multi-faceted restoration these events require.
Do you have Spanish-speaking contractors?
We work to accommodate all homeowners. Contact us and we'll do our best to match you with a contractor who meets your language needs.
What should I do before contacting you?
Ensure your family's safety first. If you can safely turn off the water source, do so. Don't clean up until you've documented damage with photos and video. Then contact us through our website.
