Start With The Policy
Review the policy declarations page, coverage sections, deductibles, exclusions, and any water damage-related language.
Understand The Cause Of Loss
The cause of water damage may matter. Burst pipes, appliance leaks, roof leaks, flooding, sewer backups, and gradual leaks may be treated differently depending on policy language.
Review Deductibles
The deductible is the amount the homeowner may be responsible for before covered benefits apply. Deductibles can vary by policy and loss type.
Review Estimates
Compare restoration estimates, repair estimates, drying charges, demolition items, and material replacement details.
Check Claim Communications
Save emails, letters, claim portal updates, text messages, and notes from phone calls.
Compare Documentation
Review photos, videos, receipts, estimates, and written notes together. A complete picture is easier to understand than scattered documents.
