How to File Insurance Claims for Water Damage Restoration in Fort Myers, FL

Step 1: Stop the Water and Call for Help

The moment you discover water damage, shut off the water source if you can and call a licensed restoration company right away. In Fort Myers, Affordable Water Restoration dispatches crews 24/7 and arrives within 30 minutes to begin emergency extraction and document the damage.

Step 2: Document Everything

Before anything is removed, take photos and video of every affected area. Capture the source of the water, affected rooms, furniture, and personal belongings. Keep damaged items — don't throw them away yet. Your restoration team will help log everything.

Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company

Call your insurer to open a claim as soon as possible. Have your policy number ready and share the documentation you gathered. Ask what is covered, your deductible, and whether they require an adjuster visit.

Step 4: Work With the Adjuster

Your insurance adjuster will inspect the property. Have your restoration contractor present — we provide moisture readings, photos, and a detailed scope of work so nothing is undercounted.

Step 5: Direct Insurance Billing
