How to file a water damage insurance claim
Restore Pro SD does not file the claim, quote deductibles, or bill your carrier. You photograph what you can, ask your carrier about your own policy, and contract with the independent professional.
What you'll learn
- That indoor water and outdoor flood can be different perils. Ask your carrier.
- That Restore Pro SD does not interpret gradual-damage language on your policy
- What photos you can take on dry ground before anyone moves materials
- That payment is between you and the independent professional, not a brand claim file
Step by step
- Photograph rooms if you can do it from dry ground.
- Write down what you saw: appliance, supply line, roof, or outdoor water.
- Call your carrier about your own policy. Restore Pro SD does not file it.
- Ask the independent professional what they will document in their file.
- Do not ask Restore Pro SD to bill insurance. We do not.
Coverage is your carrier decision. This page does not promise approval, denial, or a deductible outcome.

EPA guidance is to fix plumbing leaks and other water problems as soon as possible and dry items completely. Restore Pro SD does not set a mold clock.
When to replace water-damaged drywall (vs. dry it in place)
Restore Pro SD does not assign IICRC categories or a flood-cut height as brand protocol. Ask the independent professional which drywall they will dry versus remove.
