INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR INDIANA STORMS

HOW TO SUBMIT AN INSURANCE CLAIM

1. Safety First: Prioritize your safety and that of your family or employees. If necessary, evacuate the premises and wait for the storm to pass before inspecting the damage.
2. Document the Damage: Take photos and videos of the roof and property, capturing all visible damages caused by the storm. Visual evidence is crucial for supporting your insurance claim.
3. Mitigate Further Damage: Take temporary measures to prevent further damage, such as tarping exposed areas or placing buckets to catch leaks. However, don't perform permanent repairs before consulting with your insurance company. Our team provides emergency tarping for residential and commercial properties. 
4. Review Your Policy: Familiarize yourself with your insurance policy and coverage limits. Understand what types of damage are covered and any exclusions.
5. Get A Storm Damage Inspection: Contact the Integrity Xteriors team for a thorough storm damage inspection.
6. Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the damage to your insurance company immediately. Provide them with the necessary documentation and details about the incident.
7. Keep Records: Maintain a detailed record of all communications with your insurance company, including names, dates, and summaries of discussions.
8. Cooperate with Adjusters: At Integrity Xteriors, a trusted team member would be happy to sit in if an insurance adjuster is assigned to your claim to ensure all damages are properly documented.
9. Review the Settlement: Review the settlement offer carefully once your insurance company assesses the claim. Discuss the proposal with your insurance company if you believe it needs to be improved. An Integrity Xteriors representative is here to go over your estimate with you to ensure your rights are protected, and you receive fair compensation for the storm damages.
10. Appeal if Necessary: If you disagree with the settlement, you can appeal the decision through your insurance company's claims process. Your Integrity Xteriors representative is your advocate to assist with the appeals to your insurance company.
11. Proceed with Repairs: After settling the claim, work with a reputable roofing contractor, like Integrity Xteriors, to carry out the necessary repairs or replacements.
