Submitting an insurance claim is never a fun procedure

Filing an insurance claim after a disaster in Falls Township, PA, can be a major hassle. Fortunately, a full-service restoration company can make the process simple and stress-free for all involved.

Electronic Claims Center

SERVPRO's online Claims Information Center acts as a hub of all the claims-related information that the property owner and insurance adjuster may need. This information includes the following:

• Loss notification
  
• Loss photographs
  
• Job cost estimate
  
• Final job cost data
  
• Other important paperwork
  
  

Having this information available online helps both parties. The insurance agent has the necessary information when needed, and the property-owner does not have to worry about compiling all the information and submitting it to the insurance company.

Methods That Keep Claims Costs Low

In addition to open communication channels, insurance companies and their clients also appreciate low insurance claim costs. SERVPRO works hard to minimize costs. Two key components of cost reduction are quick response times and pretesting of damaged materials. The fast response time prevents further damage, such as mold growth after a flood, from occurring. Pretesting allows the technicians to separate materials that can be restored from those that must be replaced. Restoration is generally less expensive than replacement, so identifying all restorable items keeps total costs as low as possible.

Quality Service

Perhaps most important to the disaster restoration process, though, is the caliber of the service provided. SERVPRO’s training school has been approved by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. This means that the trainees learn some of the most effective restoration and recovery methods practiced today. Additionally, all Franchises have access to ongoing training and continuing education to ensure they are up-to-date with current best practices.
Submitting an insurance claim is never a fun procedure. However, a full-service restoration company can help the process go as smoothly as possible for both the property owner and the insurance agent.
