Below is an overview of several different claims and what they entail to a homeowner or business owner after a disaster such as fire.
Fire Damage Insurance Claims
Fire insurance covers any damage or loss to property caused by a fire, including the cost of replacing and repairing anything damaged fire, smoke, water, fire department and / or increase cost of construction and code compliance.
Other major damages, such as smoke and electrical damage, can occur during a fire as well, leading to additional repairs and construction. Learn more about fire damage claims.
Smoke Damage Insurance Claims
Smoke damage resulting from a fire is just as dangerous as the fire itself and can kill anyone susceptible to it for as little as a few minutes. If your home or business property has been affected by a neighbor’s fire or other, it is urgent that you know exactly what damage is covered by your insurance policy.
Burning materials during a fire disaster leave both an odor and physical residue behind in wood, fabrics, plastics and other materials. Professional cleaning products and equipment are needed to thoroughly remove smoke damage without producing additional harm to the property or its residents. Learn more about smoke damage claims.
Flood & Water Damage Insurance Claims
Dealing with flood and water damage at your property is a messy enough situation. With some homeowners can salvage their homes by disposing of some furniture and appliances, others find themselves faced with up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in home repairs. Even after you’ve spent money on repairs, mold can still develop in places where water damage cannot easily be seen, such as inside the walls. Learn more about flood and water damage claims.
Tornado & Wind Damage Insurance Claims
Your home or business has been devastatingly damaged by a Tornado. In a matter of seconds, your life has been turned upside down. If your home or business property has been affected by a tornado, it is urgent that you know what damage is covered by your insurance policy which we will check for you.
