Claims paperwork

After a hurricane, wind and flood claims often go to different insurers. We keep the documentation separate so each adjuster gets what they need. You stay in control of your claims.

Stay safe first

• Leave the breaker alone if you would have to stand in water to reach it.

Securing and drying out

1. Board up broken windows, sliders, and doors with metal panels.
2. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
3. Pull standing water out of the building.
4. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
