Common Insurance Claim Questions

How quickly do I need to file my fire damage claim?
Contact your insurance company within 24-48 hours. Many policies require immediate notification, and delays can complicate your claim or reduce coverage.
Will my insurance cover mold damage after a fire?
Fire policies typically cover mold that results directly from firefighting water damage. However, pre-existing mold or mold from other water sources is usually excluded.
What if my adjuster's estimate is too low?
You have the right to dispute low estimates. We provide detailed Xactimate estimates that match industry standards and can advocate with your adjuster for proper coverage.
Should I start cleanup before the adjuster visits?
Document everything first with photos and video. You can begin emergency mitigation to prevent further damage, but avoid major cleanup until the adjuster documents the loss.
How long does a fire damage claim take to settle?
Simple claims may settle in 30-60 days. Complex fire damage with structural issues can take 3-6 months or longer, especially if there are coverage disputes.
Can I choose my own restoration contractor?
Yes, you can choose any licensed contractor. Insurance companies cannot require you to use their preferred vendors, though they may try to pressure you.
