Insurance & Claims
Do I need to file an insurance claim before calling?
No. You can call us first. We’ll assess the damage, explain your options, and help you decide whether filing a claim makes sense.
Will you bill my insurance company directly?
Contact your insurance company directly to inquire about their billing policies. Ultimately, you are responsible for the bill, but we work in tandem with your carrier and communicate every step of the way.
What if additional damage is discovered later?
If additional damage is found during the restoration process, we document it and submit a supplement to the insurance carrier for review and approval.

Timelines vary depending on the type and extent of damage. Emergency mitigation begins immediately, while repairs and reconstruction depend on drying times, material availability, and insurance approvals.
