Start Early
When customers contact an emergency restoration company, they often prioritize safety for their family and valuables over the insurance claim. This can leave money on the table. Full Restoration Services works with your insurance company to accurately report damage and boost your claim amount. Missteps in claims processing can delay or reduce your claim’s value, which we help avoid.
For instance, certain policies cover storm damage but exclude flooding, while others may cover burst pipes but not municipal sewer backups. Our experience with flood and homeowners insurance policies means we know what’s covered, helping you secure a higher payout.
What to Do When You Have Water Damage
When water damage strikes, swift action is essential.
You may need to evacuate in cases of storm, fire, flood, or earthquake damage. Containment is key to prevent further mold and bacteria spread from sewage or burst pipes. Having a plan allows you to safeguard both your safety and your insurance claim. Follow these steps to protect yourself and maximize your claim:
- Understand Your Insurance Policy Details
Familiarize yourself with your coverage limits and exclusions. Reviewing policy terms can save thousands in unexpected costs. If necessary, seek clarification on your policy’s terms from your insurer.
- Stay Alert for Water Damage Risks
Many water damage claims stem from preventable incidents. These measures can strengthen your position with your insurer:
– Winterize to prevent burst pipes
– Inspect plumbing for leaks and corrosion
– Know your water shut-off locations
– Maintain HVAC systems to reduce fire risk
- Document the Damage
If safe, turn off the main water valve to limit damage. Photograph any affected structures or possessions needing repair or replacement, proving responsible action to your insurance company.
What to Do When Submitting a Claim
Filing an insurance claim can be complex, with minor errors affecting your payout. Here are steps to improve your claim success:
- Submit Claims Within the Required Time Frame
Knowing your insurer’s timeline is key to claim approval. File within the required period after the incident.
- Get Professional Assistance if Needed
A professional familiar with homeowners insurance can assist with the claims process for complex cases. Public adjusters or insurance attorneys can often secure higher claim awards, outweighing their fees.
- Use Accurate Timeframes incident date too early, as insurance companies might deny claims filed too late. Instead, use the date you first identified the damage.
- Keep Documentation from Restoration Services
Insurers expect documented proof from plumbers, restoration specialists, and other professionals. If you plan to submit a claim, avoid contractors who work for cash without providing documentation, as lacking records lowers your chances of approval.
