ServiceMaster Restore is a national restoration franchise with Tulsa-area operations handling water damage, fire damage, and mold remediation projects. ServiceMaster projects require families to vacate their homes during active restoration work, and HeyStay whole-home furnished rentals provide the comparable housing that ALE coverage is designed to fund. Call 918-992-0533 for assistance.
ServiceMaster restoration work involves industrial equipment, construction activity, and chemical treatments that make family habitation impossible or unsafe during active project phases. Water damage projects run industrial drying equipment around the clock. Reconstruction involves power tools, dust, and construction materials throughout the home. Mold remediation requires negative air containment and chemical treatment.
Water extraction and drying: 5 to 10 days. Full water damage restoration: 6 to 14 weeks. Fire and smoke remediation: 10 to 24 weeks. Mold remediation: 1 to 3 weeks. Hail damage restoration: 4 to 10 weeks.
ServiceMaster Restore’s Tulsa operations cover the full range of residential and commercial restoration services. Their residential projects — the typical source of ALE displacement — involve the same scope categories as other major restoration companies: water damage extraction and drying, structural reconstruction, fire and smoke remediation, and mold containment and removal.
When a ServiceMaster project manager assesses a Tulsa home and confirms that displacement is required, the family needs a place to go quickly. Insurance ALE activation can sometimes take 24 to 48 hours while the adjuster processes the claim. HeyStay can confirm placement the same day as the ALE activation for open properties — meaning the family does not need to spend nights in a hotel while the long-term housing arrangement is being established.
Oklahoma recorded 152 tornadoes in 2024 — one of the highest annual counts in the country. Oklahoma homeowners pay 6.84% of household income on home insurance, approximately three times the national average, reflecting the genuine storm and weather risk of the region. This elevated insurance penetration means more active ALE activations per capita than comparable-population states. When a claim is filed, Tulsa’s 94%+ apartment occupancy rate makes last-minute housing searches unreliable. HeyStay holds active inventory across the metro and can confirm same-day placement for open properties. All ALE billing goes directly to the carrier or TPA — the insured never handles funds.
It depends on the scope and safety assessment. Structural repairs, mold remediation, and asbestos abatement typically require complete vacancy. Water extraction and drying work can sometimes allow partial occupancy in unaffected areas, though the noise, dust, and disruption usually make full vacancy the better choice for families with children. The project manager will specify whether and when the property is safe to occupy.
If the damage was caused by a covered event — storm, fire, burst pipe, hail — your homeowners policy’s ALE (Additional Living Expenses) provision covers the cost of comparable temporary housing. HeyStay bills your carrier or TPA directly. Contact your adjuster to confirm ALE activation, then contact HeyStay at 918-992-0533 to confirm placement.
Water damage drying and remediation: 3 to 7 days. Structural repair following water damage: 4 to 12 weeks. Fire damage restoration: 8 to 24 weeks depending on scope. Mold remediation: 1 to 4 weeks. Hail and roof replacement with interior repair: 4 to 10 weeks. HeyStay month-to-month leases accommodate any duration without requiring advance commitment.
Yes. HeyStay whole homes range from 2 to 5 bedrooms. A family displaced from a 4-bedroom home is placed in a 4-bedroom HeyStay property — maintaining the bedroom count, kitchen, and residential character that ALE comparability requires. Pets are accommodated on a property-by-property basis — ask at placement.
HeyStay invoices your insurance carrier or TPA directly at the monthly rate. The insured is not out of pocket and does not need to submit reimbursement requests. If the carrier requires advance approval, we coordinate that directly with your adjuster before you move in.
