5 Tips for Filing a Home Insurance Claim after Disaster Strikes
When a disaster strikes your home it can be devastating. Get yourself back on track quickly by knowing how to file a quick and comprehensive insurance claim.1- Always call your insurance agent first.
Then…
2- If you don’t already have a home inventory complete, start by making a list of all of your property that was damaged or lost. Having an updated home inventory prepared ahead of time may allow you to skip this step entirely making the claims process much quicker. (Remember: It’s always more difficult to remember what you owned after it has been lost.)
3- Take photos of the damage including structural damage and damage inflicted on your home’s contents.
4- If your home is still relatively safe to inhabit, start any temporary repairs that will keep your home from experiencing further damage. For example, if there are holes in your roof, windows, walls or doors be sure to use plastic or some other water resistant material to cover the holes and prevent further water damage.
5- Get at least one estimate from a licensed, insured and reputable contractor for the repairs necessary to repair your home back to it’s previous condition.
