Filing a Damage Claim After Fire Loss in Laconia
Not every homeowner, despite what their policy states, knows how to navigate the red tape and jump through the hoops necessary to file a damage claim for their Laconia property after a fire. With so many potential risks and hazards that exist that threaten the safety of those assessing damage, and the pressing need to get mitigation and recovery efforts started quickly. The longer that effects go unchallenged by competent technicians like our SERVPRO team, the more widespread and destructive they become for the entire household.
Understanding both what to expect from the fire damage in Laconia homes and what your insurance company expects you to do about it can put you on the path to restoring your property entirely. In an already challenging and stressful time, immediately following the extinguishment of the unexpected disaster in your home, most insurance companies are going to tell you that they need proof. This evidence comes in the form of cataloging loss and photographing damages. Depending on the company that provides your coverage, they may insist that this assessment gets performed by trained professionals in the restoration industry.
Our SERVPRO fire restoration specialists have specific training through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in both Fire & Smoke Restoration (FSRT) and Odor Control (OCT.) This continued education in these niches helps us to safely navigate newly compromised homes and businesses to begin the vital assessment that insurance providers require.
Because of our reputation in the area, we have established many partnerships and relationships with local and major insurance providers and companies. These relationships help our professionals to expedite the claims process by quickly accessing the appropriate communication channels to get documentation and evidence to adjusters. We have a direct open dialogue that does not get caught in the red tape.
