In Case of Property Damage
If your home is habitable and not under evacuation orders, follow these steps to expedite the claims process:
1. Temporary Repairs: Complete any necessary temporary or emergency repairs to prevent further damage.
2. Inventory: Create a list of all damaged items.
3. Documentation: Take photos of the damaged property and keep all damaged items in a safe location for the adjuster’s inspection.
4. Receipts: Retain all receipts for repairs or additional living costs incurred due to the hurricane, and provide them to the claims adjuster when contacted.
Please remember that you can call a restoration firm to clean up your home and prevent further damage. However, do not sign any contracts for permanent repairs without first consulting with an adjuster.
Stay safe, and know that we’re here to help!
