Our Process
How We Work With Your Insurance
From the moment you call us, we take ownership of the documentation and claims process. Here's exactly what happens.
Emergency Response — We Arrive First
You call us, we show up within 2 hours. We begin mitigation immediately — stopping the damage from spreading is the priority. We don't wait for insurance approval to protect your property.
Immediate action prevents secondary damage and strengthens your claim.
Thorough Documentation
Our team photographs every affected area, takes moisture readings throughout the structure, and creates a detailed damage report. This documentation is the foundation of your insurance claim.
We use industry-standard moisture meters and thermal imaging to capture damage that's not visible to the naked eye.
Direct Insurance Communication
We contact your insurance company on your behalf, submit all required documentation, and communicate directly with your adjuster. We know what adjusters need and how to present it.
We've worked with every major insurer in California and understand their specific requirements.
Adjuster Walkthrough
When your insurance adjuster arrives on-site, we're there with them. We walk them through the damage, answer technical questions, and ensure nothing is overlooked or undervalued.
Our presence at the adjuster walkthrough consistently results in more complete claim approvals.
Full Restoration — All In-House
Once the claim is approved, our in-house team completes all restoration work. No subcontractors, no delays, no finger-pointing. One team, one point of contact, start to finish.
We bill your insurance directly for covered work, minimizing your out-of-pocket costs.

Common Questions
Insurance FAQs
Q.Will filing a claim raise my rates?
That depends on your policy and provider — it's a question best directed to your insurer. What we can tell you is that water damage left untreated almost always costs far more than the deductible. We help you get the maximum covered amount so your out-of-pocket is minimized.
Q.Do I need to call my insurance before calling you?
No — call us first. We'll document everything properly from the start, which actually strengthens your claim. We'll guide you on when and how to notify your insurer.
Q.What if my insurance company sends their own adjuster?
That's completely normal. We work alongside insurance adjusters every day. Our detailed documentation and moisture reports give adjusters exactly what they need to approve your claim.
Q.What if my claim is denied?
We'll help you understand why and what options you have. Our thorough documentation is your best defense against an unfair denial. We've helped many homeowners successfully appeal initial denials.
Q.How long does the insurance process take?
Mitigation begins immediately — we don't wait for insurance approval to stop the damage. The claims process typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on your provider and the scope of damage.
