A flood in your home is overwhelming, and once the immediate water has been removed, the next steps can feel uncertain. You’ve had your inspection, and now it’s time to navigate the insurance process and plan for repairs. At Floorensics, Inc., we provide the detailed reporting and accurate estimating necessary to ensure a smooth claims process and a successful restoration.
What Comes After the Water Removal?
Following our inspection, we prepare a comprehensive report that provides crucial information to your insurance company. Depending on the circumstances, our report may include documentation of visible damage, moisture readings (if applicable), and high-resolution photographs. In some cases, wet flooring has already been removed by a mitigation or emergency service company, and our focus is on assessing whether the remaining flooring can be matched or if a full replacement is necessary.
We also evaluate the quality of materials used, identifying like-kind and quality options available in the marketplace to determine if the flooring can be restored to its pre-loss condition or if complete removal is required. Our documentation ensures that insurance adjusters have a clear understanding of the necessary work.
In addition to the inspection report, we provide an estimate for repairs and/or replacements. This estimate is built using industry-standard pricing, ensuring accuracy and fairness. Floorensics, Inc. commits to performing the work for the estimated amount approved by your insurance company, eliminating uncertainty and keeping costs transparent. However, if unforeseen conditions arise—such as hidden damage beneath the flooring, issues with subflooring, necessary substrate preparation, or installation materials that were not visible before removal—we will document and communicate these findings so they can be addressed properly.
Working with Your Insurance Company
Insurance policies vary, and sometimes certain necessary repairs may not be covered upfront. In these cases, we accurately document the materials and work needed, ensuring the claim reflects the true scope of required repairs. While we can’t guarantee that all additional items will be approved, we work diligently to ensure that everything needed to perform an industry-standard repair is properly represented in our estimate.
We also take into account installation components that are often overlooked, such as:
- Subfloor preparation requirements.
- Adhesives and the quality of glue used.
- The type and quality of baseboards and other trim materials.
- Any other necessary materials to ensure the flooring is restored properly.
