Having to navigate life immediately after a disaster can leave you feeling totally overwhelmed. It’s likely your head will be swimming with a whirlwind of thoughts, primarily about the welfare of your loved ones.
When you start to see the big picture of everything that has happened, your mind may shift to the damage that has been done to your home. With so much to think about, filing an insurance claim may not be something you start considering quickly.
Our team is ready to take as much of your mind as possible—including insurance claims. We are available around the clock to get you on the road to recovery.
Whether you faced a fire, flood or severe storm, the faster you can start the clean up process afterward, the better. Damages can add up and worsen over time, so responding quickly can make a big difference in your recovery. Make sure you don’t put yourself at risk, though. Stay away from downed power poles, flooded spaces or potential hotspots that could flame up.
When you can step away from your safe location, check on your loved ones and community members so that anyone in need of emergency services can be cared for. As soon as you know that everyone is as safe as possible, call us at SERVPRO®. We will immediately start putting together the team and equipment your recovery needs and get on the road to your property.
Once our crew is headed your way, spend time photographing everything that has happened. Insurance claims always go smoother when you have as much documentation as possible.
While it’s best to wait for our team to arrive before you do any repairs, if there is something emergent you need to fix, do so. Just make sure to take extensive notes on what happened and how you fixed it.
When our team gets to your home, the first thing they will do is take measures to stop additional damage. While we are tarping your roof or sealing off doors and windows to keep the elements out, we will also start looking through your documentation to see what else will be needed for your claim. Our professionals are trained in insurance standards and requirements, which means we will make sure you have what is needed for a smooth and successful claims process.
While we work, we will keep an itemized list of all of your losses, and we will take additional photos as needed. Our crew is certified in insurance inspection standards and will guarantee work done is what your insurance company wants to see. We also work hard to restore as much of your property as possible so that you have less to replace. Our goal is to make your recovery easy and cost-effective.
When you leave your recovery to our staff, you can rest a little easier knowing things are going to be as good as new in no time. We will walk with you every step of the way while you are on the road to recovery, including ensuring your insurance claim process is simple.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
