Living through a disaster can make your head feel like it is spinning. With a million thoughts all happening at once, you might only be able to focus on the safety of your family and the security of your home.
While you try to make sense of what has happened, considering what to tell your insurance company may not even pass through your mind. When it comes to disaster recovery, though, the sooner you can get things started, the better.
Our team is here to help you put everything back together—even the things you might not have thought about.
While every disaster may be a little bit different, they all share one thing in common: timing matters. The faster you can get recovery started, the less damage can start to add up. Make sure you are maintaining you safety first, and stay put until an all-clear has been given. When you do head out to check on things, avoid flooded areas, downed power lines or potential hot spots after a fire.
Check on those around you and your loved ones as soon as it is safe to do so in order to get any necessary emergency needs taken care of. When you know everyone is cared for, call us at SERVPRO®. We will start your recovery right away, as we take as much information as possible down over the phone in order to put together a team with the right equipment for your restoration.
While you wait for our crew to arrive, start taking photos of any damage done. When it comes to insurance claims, the more you can document, the easier things will be. If you do decide to start cleaning up before our team gets there, or you have an immediate issue that needs to be fixed, make sure to document the before and after of everything you do. Take notes on anything that can’t be photographed.
When our professionals arrive at your property, we will simultaneously start securing your home in order to prevent future damage and continuing the documentation process. Our team comes not only highly trained in disaster recovery but also in all the latest insurance standards and requirements in order to make your claims process a successful one.
We will build an itemized list of all of your damages, along with photographic proof of work that is needed. Our staff is certified in meeting insurance inspection standards, which means all the work we do will be what your insurance company wants to see. We also make it a goal to restore rather than replace as much of your property as possible, which will help keep your total recovery costs low.
You can leave everything to our team after a disaster strikes. We will get you back on your feet, and your home back to normal, before you know it. Our crew handles everything, insurance included, to make sure your process is as simple as it can be.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
