Experiencing water, mold or storm damage can be overwhelming. Along with protecting your property, you may also need to contact your insurance company and begin the claims process. At Top Flight Property Restoration, we’re here to help make the restoration process as smooth as possible.
While every insurance policy is different, understanding the claims process can help you move forward with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays.
Step 1
Protect Your Property
Your first priority should always be preventing additional damage whenever it’s safe to do so.
Examples include:
- Turning off the water supply after a plumbing leak
- Placing a tarp over a damaged roof if it can be done safely
- Moving furniture and valuables away from standing water
- Avoiding electrical hazards around wet areas
Taking reasonable steps to reduce additional damage may also be required by your insurance policy.
Step 2
Document the Damage
Before cleanup begins, take photographs and videos of the affected areas whenever possible.
Helpful items to document include:
- Standing water
- Damaged flooring
- Wet drywall
- Damaged furniture
- Personal belongings
- Ceiling stains
- Roof damage
- Mold growth
Keeping detailed records can help during the insurance claims process.
Step 3
Contact Your Insurance Company
Notify your insurance carrier as soon as possible after discovering the damage.
Your insurance representative will typically:
- Assign a claim number
- Explain your coverage
- Discuss next steps
- Schedule an adjuster if necessary
Having your policy number available can help speed up the process.
Step 4
Begin Professional Mitigation
Waiting for an insurance adjuster should not always delay emergency mitigation.
Water damage continues spreading every hour, increasing the risk of additional damage and mold growth.
Professional water extraction and structural drying help protect your property while supporting the overall restoration process.
Step 5
Professional Documentation
Throughout the restoration process, Top Flight Property Restoration carefully documents the work performed.
This may include:
- Moisture readings
- Equipment monitoring
- Drying progress
- Photographs
- Inspection notes
Accurate documentation helps create a clear record of the restoration process. You can also view examples of completed work in our gallery.
Common Insurance Questions
Will my insurance cover water damage?
Coverage depends on the source of the water and your individual insurance policy. Your insurance carrier can explain the specific coverage available for your claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
Flood damage is often handled differently than sudden plumbing leaks or appliance failures. Review your policy or speak with your insurance representative to understand your coverage.
Can I choose my own restoration company?
In many cases, homeowners have the right to choose the restoration company they want to perform the work. If you have questions, discuss your options with your insurance representative.
What if I don’t file a claim?
Not every property owner chooses to file an insurance claim. We can discuss restoration options regardless of whether insurance is involved.
