How Can I Help - The Role of an Estimator After a Fire, Flood, or Storm

Mar 27, 2024

Ensuring that you get all of your lost properties' value

  The task of reporting lost property to an insurance company and insurance adjuster is a daunting one, its much more than a phone call starting a claim.  Everything that has been damaged or destroyed must be thoroughly documented, photographed, and tallied.


  Documentation is time-consuming, it includes obtaining copies of receipts, listing any product brands, its age, and condition.  This documentation is referred to as a 'Total Loss Inventory' and it is highly important, because it helps to determine how much your claim is worth, called the 'Actual Cash Value'.


  When hiring a professional restoration company, such as Unified Restoration Systems, an estimator will come to your property with a crew and begin the documenting phase right away.  He or She will take many high-quality photographs and videos, often the more the better, to thoroughly present the loss to an insurance adjuster.  By completely documenting your claim, your estimator will help you to: Include all of your losses both hidden and obvious, greatly reduce the chances that your claim is denied, and make sure you get the most value out of your claim.


  Augmented reality software helps in drawing up a diagram of the building, completing accurate measurements with a few taps on the screen.  This saves time and energy, so that more work can be done swiftly and accurately to get the building back to normal.  Software also allows us to quickly create and edit lists of lost items, attach photos and other documentation, and compile a complete report that Unified Restoration Systems will promptly send to insurance adjusters.


  The role of an estimator is to make your life less complicated, especially after an emergency!  When hiring a professional restoration company, like Unified Restoration Systems, our estimators will work with you and take on the burden of declaring your losses with a total loss inventory.  It's tedious work, and tough to do alone, why not let an estimator from Unified Restoration Systems help?
