Water claims are a tricky matter, indeed. That’s why it’s important to talk to an expert about your water claim as quickly as possible. If your insurance company has sent out a water mitigation company (or even if you have called one yourself), understand that most water mitigation companies have contractual obligations to the insurance companies. These are called “preferred vendor” programs. In other words, these water mitigation companies are not unbiased when it comes to your water loss. They have often been instructed by the insurance carriers to use specific techniques and to follow specific policies in order to minimize the damages, saving your insurance company money.

There is the obvious underlying threat that if they don’t mitigate your water damage in accordance with the insurance company’s policies, they run the risk of losing future business with your insurance company. The water mitigation company is not your friend and they are not working with your best interest in mind. That’s why it’s vital that you have someone on your side who understands the claims process and will fight to make sure you get a fair settlement.

Don’t delay! When it comes to water damage, time is not on your side. A Category 1 water loss can quickly escalate into a Category 3 loss – putting not only your property at risk, but your health into jeopardy.
