Room with smoke and soot damage after a fire loss.
We’ve compiled a list of important information and advice below that you can follow in the aftermath of a house fire.
Speak with Your Homeowners Insurance Agent:
When your home is damaged, you should first contact your homeowners’ insurance agent immediately to discuss losses. Ask them if the damage is covered under your policy and what the deadline is to file a claim. Afterward, make sure further damage isn’t done to your home by taking the necessary precautions. After a fire, block out certain areas where flooring or walls are weak. This will help prevent further damage and will also ensure household members won’t be harmed.
Document All Damages and Keep Records
Before the insurance adjuster visits, make a checklist for the areas of your home that you think need to be inspected. Also, keep records of all your conversations with the adjuster, and what areas they assessed. You want to make sure you have all the proper documentation in order before you hire fire damage restoration services.
After you’ve spoken with your insurance company, deal with the damage next. Call SERVPRO of Vero Beach at 772-770-0501. Our team is available 24/7 for all your fire restoration needs. We are here to help!
