Home Fires and Insurance Claims

7/6/2020 (Permalink)

A home fire that damages the structure but does not completely destroy the home is known as a “partial loss”.  These types of fires can create a unique set of circumstances when it comes to your insurance claim.  Some areas that you should pay special attention to include:

• Hidden Damage – (water, smoke, ash, mold, contaminated ducts)
• Inadequate Cleaning/Repair Methods – (this can be avoided by using a qualified, professional IICRC Certified company)
• Delays – make sure your claim is not given low priority in relation to other claims where more damage was sustained
