    Navigating Water Damage Insurance Claims

    Navigating Water Damage Insurance Claims

    Dealing with insurance after a disaster can feel like a second full-time job. Understanding the process can help you secure the coverage you deserve to restore your home.

    Review Your Policy

    It's crucial to know what is covered. Most standard homeowner's policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like a burst pipe) but do not cover gradual damage (like a slow leak) or flood damage from natural disasters (which requires separate flood insurance).

    Document Everything

    Before you clean up or throw anything away, take detailed photos and videos of all the damage. Make a list of ruined items, including their approximate value and date of purchase.

    At Restoration 1, we work directly with all major insurance companies. We provide detailed documentation, moisture readings, and professional estimates directly to your adjuster, advocating on your behalf to ensure a smooth claims process.
