📋 Steps to Claim Insurance

  • Review Policy: Check if your fitted carpet falls under contents or structural coverage, and verify if you have accidental damage or water-leak protection.
  • Stop the Source: Shut off any active water leaks or secure the area to prevent additional destruction before help arrives.
  • Document Damage: Take clear photographs and videos of the ruined carpet from multiple angles before starting temporary cleanups.
  • File the Claim: Contact your insurance company immediately to report the incident and submit your collected evidence.
  • Meet the Adjuster: Show the insurance adjuster your photos, receipts, and professional repair estimates.
