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.
- Document cabinet base damage.
- Ask the insurer about policy terms.
- Keep the plumber invoice.
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
