File a Claim with Your Insurance Company

After a Flood

Flooding can cause significant water damage and ruin your basement concrete floor. If this happens, it’s important to file a claim with your insurance company promptly. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Gather Evidence: Take photos and videos of the damage, including the basement concrete floor. Make a list of damaged items and their estimated value.
  2. Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the claim to your insurance agent or company representative as soon as possible.
  3. Provide Information: Submit the evidence you gathered, along with a detailed description of the flood damage to your basement concrete floor and other affected areas.
  4. Cooperate with the Adjuster: An insurance adjuster will visit your property to assess the damage and determine the amount of coverage available under your policy.
  5. Review the Claim Settlement: Once the adjuster has completed the assessment, you will receive a claim settlement offer. Review it carefully and ask any questions you have.
  6. Negotiate if Necessary: If you believe the claim settlement is insufficient, you can try to negotiate a higher payout.
  7. File an Appeal: If you cannot reach an agreement with your insurance company, you may file an appeal with the state insurance department.

Additional Tips:

  • Keep receipts for any expenses related to the flood damage.
  • Stay organized and make copies of all documents related to the claim.
  • Be patient and persistent throughout the claims process.
