Making a Claim after a Water Loss

A water loss in your building, if large enough, will merit calling the insurance company. They will ask some simple questions to get started on a claim. Here is the information that you will need to have gathered.

1. Stop the water flow or leaks if possible. If you have a burst water pipe, you need to take steps to stop the leak. Turn off the water main or get the pipe repaired quickly.
2. Contact your insurance company as soon as the water is off. Most insurance companies offer a 24/7 claims service. Customer service can help you get the claim started.
3. Take pictures or video of the damage. The insurance adjuster will need this critical information for your claim.
4. Start getting the water out.
   If you have water remaining inside the building have a water mitigation company remove and dry out the building.

The restoration process of a building after a water damage has its own set of steps and does take some time. Visit our site for more information about water damage.
