In the midst of dealing with a disaster, there is a good chance your head will be swimming with thoughts. Most of them will likely be focused on the safety and well-being of your loved ones, with what kind of damage may have been done to your home coming in second.
As you try and sort through everything you have just endured, considering how and when to file an insurance claim may be far from your mind. You may not want to think about it, but the sooner you can get on the road to recovery, the better.
That is why our team is ready to take your call and start your restoration around the clock. We will handle all the things you may not have thought about and put everything back to normal fast.
One of the best ways to recover fast is to start restorations as soon as possible. The faster you are able to respond after a storm, fire, flood or other disaster, the less damage will be able to compound and worsen. Make sure to keep in mind your safety, though. Stay in a safe space until you know it is OK to venture out, and avoid downed power lines, flooded spaces or potential hot spots when you do.
If the entire community has been affected by the disaster, check on your neighbors and loved ones as soon as you can safely do so. Clear routes for emergency vehicles in order to get care for anyone in need. When you know everyone is safe, call our SERVPRO® office. We will start your recovery the moment we receive your call by taking plenty of information from you in order to put the team and equipment you need on the road to your property.
When you know our crew is headed your way, spend time walking your property. Take as many photos as you can of all the damage you see. If you need to clear a tree or limbs that have come down or turn water off that is actively flowing, make sure you take note of what you did. The more documentation you have, the easier your insurance claim process will be.
As soon as our team gets there, we will start securing your home from the elements in order to prevent additional damages. While we tarp your roof or seal broken windows, we will also take a look at everything you have already documented in order to help you start your insurance claim process. Our team is highly trained in both disaster recovery of all kinds and insurance standards and requirements.
We will put together an itemized list of all of your losses, and add more photos to anything you have already taken. Our professionals are certified in insurance inspection standards, which means your claim process will be simple and successful. We also make it our goal to save as much of your property as possible through restoration techniques. The less you have to replace, the lower your recovery costs will be.
You can leave your complete recovery in the hands of our skilled crew. We will get things put back together fast, all while we walk you through everything that comes along with recovery—including the insurance claim process.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
