How to File a Fire Damage Insurance Claim in Arizona

1. Review Your Policy Coverage

Before you speak with your adjuster, review your homeowner's insurance policy to understand your coverage limits, deductibles, and what is specifically included or excluded regarding fire and smoke damage.

2. Document Everything Thoroughly

Take detailed photos and videos of every room, including damaged personal belongings. Create an inventory list of destroyed items, including their approximate age, value, and receipts if possible.

3. Mitigate Further Damage

Your policy likely requires you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. This includes emergency board-up, roof tarping, and water extraction. Keep all receipts for these emergency services, as they are typically reimbursable.

4. Get an Independent Assessment

Don't rely solely on the insurance company's adjuster. Hire an independent, licensed restoration contractor like Sevco Restoration to provide a detailed scope of work and cost estimate. We work for you, not the insurance company.

5. Keep Detailed Records of All Communication

Log every phone call, email, and meeting with your insurance company. Keep copies of all documents submitted and received. This paper trail is essential if there are any disputes over your claim.
