After your home suffers a natural disaster — whether it be flood, fire, or something else entirely — you may be left unsure what to do. While the situation can feel overwhelming, understanding how to respond can help stop the spread of damage and give you peace of mind.
Assess the Damage
Once the disaster is over, your first step should be to survey the damage. If your home was damaged by a fire, do not re-enter the property unless the fire department says it is safe to do so. Don’t start the cleanup process yet — instead, take photos of the damage so you can document everything for your insurance company.
Calling a Restoration Company, Then Insurance
After doing your own documentation, go ahead and call a restoration company. A quality restoration company can help document damage and provide an accurate remediation quote. Calling a restoration company first lets you choose who you work with, rather than being forced to work with the insurance company’s “preferred vendor.” Depending on how much the remediation work is quoted for, you may be better off not contacting your insurance at all. If you have a high deductible, it may actually be less expensive to not file a claim. Your restoration company can help you go through the details and negotiate with your insurer.
