Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Do not assume the pipe fix and floor drying have identical coverage. The trades perform different work and keep different records. Discuss with the insurer how to submit both sets of documents.

• Store daily readings together.
• Keep copies of claim communications.
• Keep the final dry record.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
