Unique Challenges in Restoration Insurance Claims

Restoration insurance claims can present unique challenges that require specialized expertise. Here are some common issues we help our clients navigate:

Hidden Damage: Water damage, in particular, can often lead to hidden damage behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. We use advanced detection equipment to identify and document all hidden damage, ensuring it's included in your claim.
Pre-Existing Conditions: Insurance companies may attempt to deny claims based on pre-existing conditions. We work to demonstrate that the current damage is a result of a covered event and not solely due to pre-existing issues.
Policy Exclusions: Understanding policy exclusions is crucial. We help you understand what is and isn't covered under your policy and advocate for coverage whenever possible.
Depreciation: Insurance companies may depreciate the value of damaged items, reducing the amount you receive for replacement. We can help you understand depreciation and negotiate for fair compensation.
Additional Living Expenses (ALE): If your property is uninhabitable due to damage, your insurance policy may cover additional living expenses, such as hotel stays and meals. We can help you understand your ALE coverage and ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to.
