Insurance Claims and Restoration: Managed | SERVPRO of Houston County
4/15/2024 (Permalink)
Dealing with a disaster can leave your head spinning. There is so much to think through, but your first priority will almost always be ensuring the safety of your family and loved ones.
As you start to really sift through everything that has happened, your concerns for loved ones will likely shift to wondering what kind of damage has been done to your home. Thinking about starting an insurance claim may be far from your mind initially, but the sooner you can start your recovery process, the easier things will be.
Our professionals are ready to respond to your home around the clock, no matter what has happened. We will make sure everything is completed thoroughly and smoothly—even your insurance claim.
In every kind of disaster, the faster you can respond, the better. When you can react quickly after a flood, fire or storm, you can mitigate your losses and stop damage from compounding and getting worse. Safety should always be your first priority, though. Stay in a safe place until officials have declared it safe. When you do start to move about, avoid power lines that are down, hot spots from a fire or floodwaters nearby.
First and foremost, make sure your loved ones and neighbors aren’t in need of immediate emergency assistance. When you know that everyone is as OK as they can be, call our SERVPRO® office. We will start putting together your recovery plan as we gather a team and the equipment they will need in order to meet the unique needs of your situation.
As you walk your property, take as many photos as you can. When it comes to insurance claims, the more you can document what has happened, the easier things will be. If you need to correct some damage right away—like water freely flowing from a faucet—do so, but make sure to take note of everything you are doing.
When a team from our office gets to your home, they will tackle any emergent needs first. This might include tarping your roof or sealing off broken windows in order to prevent future damage. At the same time, we will start working with you to procure any other documentation that may be needed for your insurance claim. Our professionals aren’t just trained to fix damage, they are also up to date on insurance standards and requirements.
While they work, our crew will put together an itemized list of all your losses. We will also take additional photos in order to make the claims process smooth and successful. We come with certifications on meeting insurance inspection standards so that work is completed exactly as it should be. We also make it a goal to restore rather than replace your belongings so that your recovery costs are lower.
Putting your recovery into the hands of our team means your home will be put back together quickly. We will handle everything, including making sure your insurance claim is as simple as possible. It only takes a single call to get life back on track fast, no matter what happens.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
