Insurance

Each insurance provider is different, but here’s a general outline for what may or may not be covered by your provider:

• Water damage: Water damage caused by problems such as leaky pipes and damaged roofs will usually be covered. However, water damage from overflowing rivers and other types of major flooding are generally excluded from most policies.
• Fire damage: Any kind of damage from fires are covered by most providers, regardless of the cause of the fire. Insurance providers will often pay for fire and smoke residue cleanup, water extraction, contents restoration, property reconstruction, and any other cleanup services you may need.
• Storm damage: Damages caused by ice, snow, wind, and rain are generally covered, with the exception of flooding caused by overflowing lakes and oversaturated soil. If the wind damages your roof and water leaks into your home, that should be covered as well.
• Mold growth: Some insurance providers require you to have a separate mold growth policy. In other cases, mold removal services should be covered—particularly if the mold was directly caused by a covered item, such as a burst pipe.

It depends on the type of damage.

If the damage is covered, then your provider should pay for every aspect of the cleanup process, from initial debris removal to reconstruction. However, if the type of damage isn’t covered, such as flood damage, from an overflowing lake, then you will usually have to pay for contents restoration and reconstruction.

Call your insurance company to open the claim immediately after you call a restoration company. Your insurance company will then send an insurance adjuster to help determine what’s covered and what isn’t.

Yes! We are happy to work with all insurance companies! Once you open the claim, we’ll take care of the rest.

In most cases, no. Flood damage is often a separate policy, and in some areas in Minnesota, you are required to purchase separate flood insurance.

Yes, but your insurance company most likely won’t cover the extra cost. Most homeowner’s insurance policies only cover to restore and replace of similar value.

No, you are not obligated to use the restoration company recommended by your insurance company.

Each insurance company is different, so it’s important to call them as soon as you can after your home has been damaged. They’ll walk you through the process and help you open the claim.

You can get a better idea of what the insurance process is like here, but here’s a basic overview of what to expect:

1. You’ll open a claim with your insurance company.
2. Your insurance company will send an insurance adjuster to your home to determine what’s covered and what isn’t.
3. You’ll pay the deductible to us, and we’ll collect the remaining payment from your insurance company.

An insurance claims adjuster is someone your insurance company sends to determine what’s covered and what isn’t covered when your home is damaged.

When you call us, make sure you know how much your deductible is. While waiting for us to come, take pictures and document the damage, as that will make it easier for you when the insurance adjuster comes.
