Insurance Claims Made Simple | SERVPRO of Tri-County

A disaster striking your home or community can leave your head spinning. The swirl of thoughts running through your mind will likely be dominated by concern about how your friends and loved ones are doing, along with worry about whether your home has been damaged.
In the midst of those thoughts, you may not consider needing to file an insurance claim. Even though it may be far from your concerns, the sooner you can start the recovery process, the easier things will be.
That is where our team comes in. We are available around the clock to help you work through all the parts of your recovery you haven’t thought about yet. We will make managing everything simple.
Timing matters in every kind of disaster that happens. The faster you can respond, the more you can mitigate your potential losses. Make sure you take steps to stay safe, though, when you do choose to respond. Stay out of floodwaters, avoid downed trees and power poles and keep back from hotspots from a fire.
Stay in a safe place until officials have given an all-clear. When you do head out to assess the situation, check on your friends and neighbors first. Clear the way for emergency vehicles as safely as you can, and address any needs you can.
Once you know that everything is OK as it can be, call us at SERVPRO®. We will start your recovery right away, taking as much information as we can over the phone as we put together a team to head to your property.
When you know that our team is headed in your direction, start taking photos of the damage. While it is ideal to leave repairs to the professionals, if you see something you can fix immediately in order to stop additional damages, go ahead and do so. Make sure you take notes about the before and after of what you did. When it comes to insurance claims, the more documentation you can provide, the better.
The first step our team will take once they get to your property is to start securing your home in order to avoid more damage from the elements. While we tackle a roof that needs to be tarped or windows that need to be bored, we will also start looking through what you have already documented in order to add to it. Our professionals are not just trained in disaster recovery, but we are also highly trained in insurance requirements and standards.
We will build an itemized list of all your losses while we work through your recovery. We will also add photos to what you have already taken. We come with certifications on insurance inspections expectations, and we make it our goal to restore rather than replace your property. Whatever we can do to make your claims process simple and keep your costs low, we will do it.
You can put your recovery into the hands of our team and trust that things will be handled well. From ensuring your insurance claims process is smooth to ensuring your recovery is quick, we’ve got you covered.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
