In most cases, yes—standard homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water or fire damage. However, coverage can vary depending on the cause of the damage and the specific terms of your policy. For example, flooding from outside sources usually requires separate flood insurance.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider or adjuster to confirm your coverage details. Our team can also help document the damage and communicate with your insurance company during the claim process.

Coverage for mold damage varies by policy. Many standard homeowners insurance policies only cover mold caused by a sudden, accidental water event, like a burst pipe. Mold resulting from long-term leaks, poor maintenance, or high humidity is usually not covered.

It’s best to review your policy or speak with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Our restoration team can also help document mold damage to support your claim if it is covered.

Most standard homeowners insurance policies do cover vandalism, including damage caused by broken windows, graffiti, or other intentional destruction. Coverage usually applies only to sudden and intentional acts, not gradual wear or damage from neglect.

Check your policy or contact your insurance provider to confirm details. Our team can also document the damage to help support your claim.

Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover damage from wind, such as broken windows, roof damage, or fallen trees. However, coverage may vary depending on your policy terms and whether the wind caused other types of damage, like flooding, which usually requires separate flood coverage.

Commercial policies may have similar exclusions, but coverage terms can vary widely depending on the business type, location, and policy. In both cases, it’s important to review your policy carefully and speak with your insurance provider to understand what is and isn’t covered.

The homeowner’s insurance policy is responsible for covering damage to the structure of the building, including walls, floors, ceilings, and permanent fixtures. This also includes the cost of mitigation and restoration of the property itself.

A renter’s insurance policy only covers the tenant’s personal belongings inside the unit. It does not cover structural repairs or the building itself.

In practice, a mitigation company will:

• Work with the homeowner’s insurance to restore the building structure.
• Document any damage to tenant belongings separately for their individual renter’s insurance claims.

This ensures that both the building and personal property are properly addressed and everyone’s claims are handled correctly.

It depends on the severity and type of damage. For minor water or fire damage, many homeowners can stay in the property safely while drying and mitigation equipment is running.

However, if there is extensive water, fire, or smoke damage, or if there are health risks such as mold or contamination, temporary relocation may be recommended. Our team will assess your property and provide guidance to ensure your safety and comfort during the restoration process.

In many cases, yes. Most homeowners insurance policies include “additional living expenses” (ALE) coverage, which can pay for temporary housing, meals, and other costs if your home is uninhabitable due to covered damage.

Coverage depends on your policy terms, so it’s best to check with your insurance provider. Our team can also help document the situation to support your claim for temporary living expenses.

• Move items to on-site or off-site storage if the situation requires it.

• Document everything for insurance purposes to support your claim.

Our goal is to safeguard your belongings, prevent additional damage, and make the restoration and claims process as smooth as possible.
