Step-by-step claim process

  • Stop the water source and document with photos/video FIRST
  • Call your insurer's claims line and get a claim number
  • Call us at (336) 800-8297 for emergency mitigation — your policy requires you to "mitigate further damage"
  • Save receipts for any emergency supplies (tarps, towels, fans)
  • Schedule the adjuster's visit — we coordinate timing with mitigation
  • Provide the adjuster with our written scope, moisture logs, and photos
  • Once approved, we bill the carrier directly for the agreed scope

Working with adjusters in Guilford County

Greensboro-area adjusters from major carriers (State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Nationwide, Erie) all recognize the standard IICRC S500 mitigation scope we use. We provide adjusters with calibrated moisture readings, before/during/after photos, an itemized scope using Xactimate-compatible line items, and daily drying logs. Claims with this level of documentation get approved faster and with fewer disputes.
