Insurance Claim Drying Support
A water-damage claim may involve the policyholder, insurer, claims handler, loss adjuster, plumber, drying contractor and reinstatement contractor. My HomeDry supports the drying stage by assessing the property, defining the affected area and recording the work completed.
The service does not determine whether the policy responds. Emergency mitigation, authority, payment and reporting routes should be discussed as early as possible.
What to tell the insurer
Provide the incident date, source, rooms affected, whether the source is stopped, emergency work completed and any immediate safety or access issues.
Before formal approval
Emergency steps may be needed to prevent further damage, but the policyholder should understand who is authorising the work and how payment will be handled if cover is not confirmed.
Drying-to-reinstatement handover
The drying record should identify completed monitoring, limitations and repair requirements so reinstatement is planned without concealing unresolved moisture.
Discuss this situation with My HomeDry
Call with the property postcode, source of water and areas affected.
