What to Do Once You Notice Damage
The first thing you should do is to ensure your and your family’s safety. In extreme situations like broken power lines, fires, or flooded basements, it’s best to call emergency services rather than trying anything by yourself.
For more minor issues, you should secure the area first to prevent the spread of damage. This means turning your water line or electricity off, putting up covers on your roof or window, and more. This step is necessary, as some insurance companies require you to mitigate losses as best as you can. We are available to assist in this case. Just contact us for directions or advice.
Next, you should call your agent or insurance carrier to report the loss. They will generally get back to you in one to two days to talk about the extent of the damage. If it’s small, and you are uncertain about the total amount, we are here to review it and advise. Our team is also ready to help if your policy carrier drops you in case of a large loss.
