Saving your insurance dollars with SERVPRO

11/16/2020 (Permalink)

If you owe money on your car or home the lender requires insurance to protect the money they have lent you. So, what factors can affect insurance costs and how does SERVPRO help? We buy insurance to protect our own money and to repair damages that are sudden and accidental. By restoring items that can be restored, without replacing them, we can save money to both you and the insurance company. Our goal is that you only pay your deductible to return your home or office to a preloss condition.  

Where you live matters and can affect the cost of your insurance and even taxes. Luckily there are over 1700 franchise locations nationwide. Coastal homes see more storms and see increased insurance costs. With SERVPRO’s storm training and technology, we can help to reduce downtime for businesses and costs of replacement. Speaking of location, how close you are to a fire department, and the services that it provides, equipment and the rating of the fire house can affect costs of insurance. If you suffer a fire loss our team can repair the damage and control the odor. Restoring the affected areas of your property is substantially less costly than demolishing and replacing building materials and furnishings.

How old is your home? That can affect your insurance and the work to done should you suffer a water or fire loss. We have to consider the age of the house to deal with lead paint and asbestos. Normally if your house was built before 1978 there is a good chance it has lead paint. Asbestos was commonly used in home built before 1979. SERVPRO of West Forsyth County is a Lead Paint renovator. We also have excellent subcontractor for Asbestos abatement, should it be needed.

Remodeling your home can have effects on the insurance premiums you pay. But, when demo of the shower reveals a slow leak and mold, having SERVPRO remediate mold the right way, can protect your investment. Insurance will not help on claims where the cause was an ongoing issue. Or maintenance was deferred. Having it done right will affect the value of your home in a positive direction.

We work with your insurance company, offering competitive advantages. Our goal is to restore the property and your peace of mind through timely mitigation and adherence to IICRC standards. This will leave both you and the insurance agent with confidence that the job was done right. Through training, technology, and our relationships with national insurance carriers you can be assured that we will save you money and the job will be done right.
