Step 1: What is an ADU?
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a fully functional secondary housing unit built on the same property as your primary residence. Also known as a granny flat, in-law suite, or backyard home, an ADU provides a private living space complete with a kitchen, bathroom, living area, and separate entrance.
During the initial call, our specialist will discuss the situation with you and determine what needs to happen. With water damage, speed is often essential. So, we will promptly dispatch a technician to your home or business.
