What the crew does for a claim
We're responsible for getting the water out, drying the structure, and logging the work in photos and moisture readings. That log and our invoice go to your adjuster. Your insurer, your agent, or a public adjuster makes the coverage call.
Questions people ask
Do I have to wait for an adjuster visit to start drying?
No, start as soon as you can. Photograph the damage, begin drying, and tell your insurer that same day.
Is outside flood water covered?
Typically not by a standard homeowners policy. It usually takes a separate flood policy. Ask your agent what applies to you.
