Acting Quickly After Water Damage Is The Key To Avoiding Mold

 
When water damage has hit your Pompano Beach home you'll want to act quickly to avoid mold. Choosing a trained, certified, restoration company is important. In Pompano Beach your choice would be SERVPRO of Pompano Beach.
You will want to take the first step toward filing your insurance claim by calling your insurance company, and you now are awaiting the first visit from your home adjuster to officially assess any damage. Below are important tips to help you prepare and ensure the visit is as advantageous and stress-free as possible. Also remember for a stress free claims process, SERVPRO can help manage the insurance paperwork and process.  Document any damage to structures, which can include your home, garage, shed, and pool. Before the insurance adjuster arrives, identify and make a list of any damage to your roof, foundation, walls, electrical lines or other structural elements. Include photos and videos of damage like cracks, tears or holes, and if possible, have “before” pictures on hand as well.  Compile lists and records of damaged items. In addition to documenting any structural damage, make lists of damaged items within and around the home. If possible, gather receipts, purchase records, and examples of current sales prices for the same items. Include photos of the damage, gather any previous pictures you may have taken of the items, and be sure to not throw out anything until after the adjuster’s visit.  While the aftermath of a home disaster can certainly be difficult and unchartered territory, taking the time up front to gather records and estimates can make your visit with your home adjuster a productive one. A successful visit will make filing your insurance claim that much easier and help pave the way to your ultimate goal of quality, fast and affordable repair and restoration services.
