San Luis Obispo Fire Damage Company Announces Assistance for Managing Insurance Claims
SERVPRO of San Luis Obispo, serving the Central Coast community since 1990, recently announced that it can help process insurance claims for fire, water, mold and other disaster-related damage. It's important to recover and get back to normal as quickly as possible, and avoiding delays in settling insurance claims is a critical part of getting life back on track.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In many cases, insurance companies require their insured to work with a professional damage restoration company to be sure repairs and restorations are handled according to the insurance policy requirements. The entire restoration process, from start to finish involves removing all water and mold damage that may be present, removing smoke and soot, cleaning and sanitizing all restorable items, furnishings and structures that were damaged. "We are uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive claims assistance because of the services we provide." said Joseph Powers, the owner of SERVPRO of San Luis Obispo.
Professional damage restoration teams are trained and certified in the many industry standards that are recognized by insurance companies. It's in the best interest of the insured know the restoration service they choose has solid standing with the insurance industry because that company standard delivers the most extensive performance guidelines in the restoration industry.
"The first things most insurance companies look for," said Powers from the San Luis Obispo fire damage company "is a restoration company to inspect and assess the damage, board-up and tarp to protect the premises and contents then immediately start removing water, mold, soot and ash." As soon as the property is protected, the next phase of the assessment includes a room-by-room inspection with the property owner, to assess and report the details of the damage.
This detailed assessment includes:
- A detailed inventory, including digital photographs
- Assistance with determining the values of items
- Determining the best method for saving the items, which may include everything from simply wiping down an item to drying and cleaning books, paperwork, even photographs and art
- Providing a complete report for the client and the insurance company
The next-to-final step is helping the client file an accurate and complete insurance claim, then helping monitor the claims process. While insurance companies have representatives to work with owners to determine the extent of loss, the insurance company has processed thousands of fire damage claims. The owner has had only one fire to process and is not as clear-minded about what information is needed as is the insurance company. "Helping with the claim is a natural service for SERVPRO," said the San Luis Obispo fire damage company owner. "It's a natural extension of our commitment to restoring peace of mind."
Powers said his company provides an invaluable service by working closely with the home and business owners and the insurance companies. "We are there, hand-in-hand with the people most affected and bring the professional expertise to support our clients through the entire process." The San Luis Obispo fire damage company is part of the national SERVPRO Claims Information Center (CIC) that provides end-to-end insurance claims assistance. "Our 24/7 response to calls means we are first on the scene to assess the damage and start the repair and recovery process."
