Make sure you document serial numbers, model numbers of electronics. It is also recommended that you photograph each room from multiple angles prior to a storm event.⁣

If safety and common sense allows, take necessary steps to prevent further property damage by making temporary repairs wherever possible. If necessary, remove wet carpet from your home to prevent mold. Make sure to provide at least a 2'x 2' sample of the carpet and pad to your claim adjuster.Your claim adjuster will estimate the damage to your house, but sometimes it's necessary to have an engineer or repair-experienced contractor also inspect for damage. Feel free to obtain your own contractor's estimate.⁣
