Disaster Insurance Claims Made Easy | SERVPRO of East Lansing/Haslett

When you are dealing with a disaster, your mind is going to be pulled in a million different directions. The safety of your friends and family is likely the first thing you think of, followed quickly behind with how well your house did or did not fare.
As you sort through your thoughts and feelings, there is a good chance you won’t even begin to consider filing an insurance claim. While safety should always be first on your mind, the sooner you can start this important part of your recovery process, the easier getting back on your feet will be.
Our team is available day or night to help you start putting all the pieces of your life back together, including walking with you through the insurance claim process. We are ready to take charge of your recovery so you can care for the ones you love.
The kind of disaster you went through doesn’t really matter—when it comes to recovery, faster is always better. When you are able to respond quickly after an event, you can prevent compounding damage that adds up over time.
Remember to keep yourself safe, though. Stay in a safe location until the all-clear is given, avoid power lines that have come down, steer clear of floodwaters and give fire damage some room.
When it is safe to walk around, spend time checking on those around you and your loved ones first. If someone needs immediate attention, clear a path for emergency services as safely as you can do so. Once you know everything is OK, call our SERVPRO® office. We will take lots of information over the phone so that we can put a team together with the right equipment and manpower to meet your needs.
Spend time walking your property as well. Take as many photos as possible of any damage you see. Documentation is the best way to make your insurance claim process simple.
If you do see something that needs to be handled before our team gets there, go ahead and tackle it if you can do so safely. Just make sure you take note of what you did so it can be included on your claim.
When our team gets to your property, we will start with preventive measures in order to keep the elements out and stop further damage. As we get your roof tarped or broken windows sealed, the rest of our crew will work with you to start the claims process. All of our professionals have been trained in insurance claims requirements so that we ensure a fast and successful process.
Our staff will add to your documentation with an itemized list of your losses and any extra photos needed. We come certified in meeting insurance inspections standards, and we make it our goal to restore as much of your property as possible so that you have less to replace later. Whatever can be done to make restoration fast, cost-effective and easy is exactly what we are going to do.
With our team, you can rest easy knowing that your recovery is in good hands. We will work hard to make sure your insurance claim process is simple, all while we put your home back to exactly as it should be.
When a disaster strikes, call us to make your recovery process—insurance claims and all—simple.
