Roof leak from a storm	Usually yes	Leaks from an old, worn roof may not be
Slow leak over weeks or months	Often no	Considered wear or lack of maintenance

Step by step

How to file a water damage claim the right way

Stop the damage
Shut off the water and call us. Your policy expects you to take reasonable steps to prevent more damage.

Before cleanup, photograph the water, the source and damaged items. We add our own detailed records.
Call your insurer
Report the claim and get a claim number. Ask what your deductible and coverage limits are.
Keep damaged items
Do not throw anything away until it is documented. Our contents team can inventory it.
Share our documentation
We send photos, moisture maps, drying logs and the estimate to your adjuster.
Keep every receipt
Hotel stays, meals and supplies may be covered under additional living expenses.

What we provide

Know your options

Your rights and smart moves during a claim

A few things many homeowners do not know can make a big difference.

You choose your contractor

Your insurer may suggest a restoration company, but you have the right to choose who works on your home. Pick someone local you trust.

Emergency work can start now

You do not need to wait for an adjuster to visit before stopping the damage. Water extraction and drying are emergency mitigation, and waiting can make things worse.

Think about small claims

If the repair cost is close to your deductible, it may not make sense to file. We can give you an estimate first so you can decide.

If your claim is denied

Ask for the denial in writing with the policy language it relies on. Our documentation can support an appeal, and the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner can help if you have questions about how your claim was handled.

FAQs

Insurance claim questions

Should I call my insurance company or a restoration company first?

Stop the water, then call a restoration company to begin emergency mitigation. Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can, ideally the same day. Waiting to start drying can make damage worse.

Can I pick my own water damage company?

Yes. Your insurance company may recommend vendors, but you have the right to choose who works on your home.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?

Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe or appliance failure. Slow leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often are not covered unless you have extra coverage.

Do you bill my insurance directly?

In many cases we can work directly with your insurance company. You are still responsible for your deductible and anything your policy does not cover.

What if my claim is denied?

Ask for the reason in writing. Our photos, moisture logs and reports can support an appeal. Washington's Office of the Insurance Commissioner also offers free help to consumers.

Is it worth filing a small claim?

If the repair cost is near your deductible, filing may not make sense. We can give you an estimate first so you can decide.
