Below is a brief synopsis of their process:

Step 1 - Call Your Agent

When it is safe, gather your insurance information. Give your insurance company a call to notify them of the loss so that coverage can be determined.

Step 2 - Take Photos

Once your home or business is determined to be safe you can return to document the damage by taking pictures or video footage of the damage.

Step 3 - Begin Cleanup

Remove water damaged items but keep items like flooring and curtains so that they can be assessed by your insurance company or adjuster.

Step 4 - Meet With Your Adjuster

Your insurance company will assign an insurance adjuster to your claim and you will need to meet with them to discuss your claim. Your adjuster will also provide you with an estimate of the damages.
