12/20/2021 (Permalink)

Filing an insurance claim is not the easiest thing to do in the aftermath of a storm, especially if your property suffered significant losses. With the help of a trusted local storm damage restoration service provider, all of your restoration tasks—including insurance forms—will be that much easier.

Prioritize Temporary Repairs

As soon as you experience storm damage, contact the pros at SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane to review the damage and recommend a restoration plan. Qualified and licensed experts can determine if your property is in need of extensive restoration work. Calling the team at SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane is a good move because they also provide much of the material or documentation you’ll need for your insurance claim.

Secure Evidence

A successful insurance claim involves proper and considerable documentation. You can take photos of your home along with videos. If you have photos of your home prior to the damage, it may be helpful to include those as well in order to illustrate the scope of the damage.

Review Your Policy

Before you fill out that form and file a claim, make sure you go over your policy. Get a good grasp of your coverage. What can you expect? What are the limitations indicated? Knowing these ahead of filing for a claim will give you a better sense of what to expect. It will also help you keep your expectations realistic. Your professionals from SERVPRO of Northwest Spokane can step you through the process of your claim.

Don’t Waste Time

Start working on filing a claim as soon as you can. Some insurance companies have a window for accepting claim applications, so you wouldn’t want to miss that. If you do, you might not get another chance to ask for compensation for your loss. Don’t risk that.
