Most people have never filed a water damage claim before, and it shows up at a bad time. The core steps are the same for most claims: stop the damage from getting worse, write down what happened, contact your insurer and keep every receipt. This page gives general information only. Only your policy and your insurer can tell you what is covered.
Policies commonly require you to protect the property from more harm. That usually means stopping the water and getting drying started quickly, rather than waiting for the adjuster to arrive.

Call nowThe process
What the claims process often looks like
This is a general outline, not a description of any specific insurer.
Stop it from getting worse
Water removal and drying start as soon as possible, since further damage may not be covered.
Open the claim
You contact your insurer, describe what happened and get a claim number, and you ask what records they want.
Keep records
You keep written notes and an inventory, while the provider records moisture readings and work performed, to support the claim.
Adjuster review
The adjuster looks at the damage and the records, and may talk with the provider about the scope.
Repairs and closing
After the review, the rebuild is scheduled, with payment handled under your policy terms.
What is included

Damaged materials list

Local help
Water Damage Insurance Claim Help around Lake Stickney
Around Lake Stickney, water damage claims tend to follow the seasons: burst pipes after a cold snap, roof leaks during long wet seasons, water heater failures and appliance leaks. Keep in mind that flood coverage is often a separate policy, so read yours carefully. The same number serves Lake Stickney and the surrounding area, including Mill Creek, Larch Way, Martha Lake and Picnic Point, so mitigation starts quickly and the records are kept from day one.
What the weather here means for your home
Long, wet seasons and atmospheric river storms saturate the ground and push water into basements and crawl spaces, and the cold snaps that do arrive can split pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces. Older houses over crawl spaces are especially prone to hidden moisture, which tends to show up later as soft floors, odor or mold.

What paperwork helps a water damage claim?
Keep a single folder for the claim. Save written notes on what happened, a list of damaged items, receipts for repairs, supplies and temporary housing, and any letters from your insurer. The provider can usually supply moisture logs and a written scope for your file.
Will my insurance cover the water damage?
There is no general answer. Sudden events are often handled differently from slow leaks or floodwater. Read your policy and talk with your insurance company for a definite answer.
Does Lake Stickney Water Damage Restoration handle my claim?
No. Lake Stickney Water Damage Restoration is a referral line, not an insurance agency or a contractor. Calls to (425) 552-7960 are routed directly to an independent restoration provider that serves Lake Stickney, while the claim itself stays between you and your insurance company.
Should I call my insurer or a restoration provider first?
You can do both on the same day. Mitigation often needs to start before the adjuster visits. Call your insurer to report the loss and ask what they need from you.
Can I throw out damaged items right away?
It is best to ask before you discard anything. Keep an inventory and, where practical, the items themselves. If something is unsafe to keep, like sewage-soaked material, write it down and ask the provider to note it in their records.
