National Catastrophe Restoration

What National Catastrophe Restoration does

National Catastrophe Restoration Inc (NCRI) is a privately held, woman-owned (WBENC-certified) disaster restoration and reconstruction services provider founded in 1972 and headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. The company delivers an integrated suite of services spanning water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, storm and catastrophe recovery, mold remediation, air quality and HVAC cleaning, environmental cleanup, content and document restoration, emergency power and climate control, and full Class A General Contractor rebuild services. Underlying operations rest on a large owned asset base of approximately 8,000 specialized restoration units (desiccant dehumidifiers, drying fans, air scrubbers, thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters) plus a 24/7 dispatch infrastructure and a network of regional offices in Wichita, Kansas City, San Antonio, and Orlando that enables nationwide mobilization for large-loss events.

NCRI serves two principal segments: commercial facilities (corporations, universities, manufacturing plants) requiring large-scale emergency response and disaster preparedness planning, and residential homeowners concentrated in Kansas and Missouri. Revenue is generated on a quote-based, project-by-project basis, with NCRI coordinating directly with insurance carriers on behalf of clients and offering a recurring subscription-style Emergency Response Plan (ERP) cloud platform that provides commercial customers with priority service. Commercial accounts are pursued aggressively via the company's WBENC certification, which qualifies NCRI for supplier-diversity procurement with large public and private buyers, and via ISO 9001 certification—NCRI was the first U.S. full-service disaster restoration company to achieve this quality management credential.

The business is led by Patricia Easter (President) and Nicholas Easter (CEO), with the company remaining family-owned for 52 years and reporting no external investors or parent entity. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward geographic build-out into catastrophe-prone regions (Florida, Texas), digital preparedness tooling (the ERP platform), and adjacent service lines such as Power & Climate, indicating an intent to convert a mature restoration franchise into a broader business-continuity offering.
