Claim documentation help is part of every water damage job we run in Joliet. We don't work for your carrier, and we can't tell you what they'll pay. What we can do is give your adjuster the records they ask for.
That starts before anything is moved. We photograph the water, the source and the damage in every room. We take moisture readings and log them each day of drying. We measure rooms, list removed materials, and note the category of water. All of it goes into a file you can send to your adjuster.
Coverage varies more than most people expect. A regular homeowners policy in Illinois usually covers sudden water from inside the house, like a burst pipe. Sewer and drain backup is often excluded unless you added a water backup endorsement. Rising floodwater from outside needs a separate flood policy. Slow leaks and wear are often denied.
Read your declarations page or call your agent before you assume anything. We'll answer questions about the work, and we're glad to meet the adjuster on site.
