Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wait for insurance approval before calling a restoration company?
No. Most policies require prompt mitigation. Delaying allows mold and secondary damage that may not be covered. Start mitigation immediately and document everything.
Will my rates increase if I file a water damage claim?
This depends on your carrier, claim history, and state regulations. Your restoration partner can provide documentation; claim impact varies by policy.
