SERVPRO Helps with the Insurance Claim Process

At SERVPRO, we understand that property damage can be overwhelming. With decades of experience, SERVPRO can help document damage and provide information related to the services performed that can assist customers during the insurance claim process.

When property damage occurs, a rapid response can help limit further damage and may reduce overall restoration costs.

Groundwater flooding is usually covered by flood insurance, not a standard homeowners policy.

Knowing where the main water shutoff is located on your property can help prevent water damage to your home or business in an emergency.

Flood: What You Can Do Right Now

With flooding, knowing what you can do before help arrives can help reduce the damage to your home and cut the restoration costs. Standing water in your home will cause more damage with every passing hour.

Get everyone in your household (including pets) away from rising water and to a safe, dry area of the home.
Shut off your water source if you know the shutoff valve location and can reach it safely.
Turn off your electricity at the main panel, if you can do it without stepping in water.
Don’t use electrical appliances or outlets that might‘ve come in contact with water.
Move your most valuable items, furniture, and electronics to higher ground if it’s safe.
Once the flooding has stopped, take photos of the damage for your insurance claim.

I cannot sing enough praises about ServPro of New Bern. From the first phone call until the service we had top notch care and response. I was devastated when we discovered that we had a mold issue in our home and reached out to ServPro due to their excellent reputation in our area. The response time from my initial call to getting Mark out to our home for air samples and to access the damage was two days. When he arrived he answered all of my questions and spent a great deal of time with me explaining his findings and what the process for remediation would be. After confirming with air samples and visual findings he let us know a quote would be on its way. After looking everything over we decided to move forward with treatment. I spoke to Demetrius and he answered all of my silly questions and helped the operation run so smoothly! He knew how concerned we were about the mold and got us on the schedule for the next day! Talk about customer service!! When the crew arrived they all greeted me with warm smiles and all looked so clean and professional! They would take photos of hard to reach areas of concern and were able to send them to me for my records. They were so informative and gave me so much insight into our project. Thankfully they were able to find the source of the mold which was linked to faulty issues with the HVAC tubing and piping in our attic. Every step of they way they were so patient and knowledgeable! I felt safe and confident in their abilities to get this treatment done right! I can’t thank Keegan W., Jordan S., Justin, and Trent enough for everything!! Tomorrow we will be having a full service HVAC cleaning and disinfecting by Jeff and John W., and I have nothing but confidence that they will be just as amazing as everyone I’ve worked with thus far! You guys are all so fantastic and I am so blessed to have found you all!! If I could give everyone more than five stars I would!! Highly recommend ServPro of New Bern for all of your remediation needs!!

This review is for the mitigation/demo team of this branch. To preface this review, I am a Regional Property Manager of 650 units of affordable housing across 3 states. (Credibility for this review) I recently had a fire that affected 85% of a two bedroom townhome layout in New Bern, NC. Within hours, their crew was on site and getting to work on the demo and water mitigation. Within another 36 hours, all damaged material was removed and all moisture extracted. Not only this, the unit had NO smoke smell and actually smelt GOOD inside the unit because of how quickly these guys set up their machinery and got working(I also believe they had a machine that put a pleasant scent into the air which is was a nice touch). Additionally, there is absolutely ZERO moisture damage because of how quickly this crew worked. The compliments that we received from insurance on our quick actions just made this experience even better. Yes, Servpro might be higher on pricing as opposed to other companies, but this branch specifically showed why they’re worth every penny. I would guess we saved upwards of $20k just by extracting all of the fire departments water in such a quick fashion. Special mention to Mark, Fran, and Mason for all of their assistance with this. Those three are who have made this experience such a positive one. There was a small hiccup with billing but Fran and Mason had it handled within an hour of discovering it. This branch is great with communication and keeping all parties on the same page. I will be requesting that this branch handles any disasters that our complexes experience when possible.

My water heater overflowed so I needed water remediation. Mr. Clements and his associate were outstanding. Today Justin and Allen returned to retrieve dryer and haul away junk. The kindness and professionalism these two men displayed was outstanding. They are examples of outstanding customer service. I hope I don't need you again, but if I do this company will be called. It is of worthy note that I called them on Saturday. They came that afternoon and did not assess any extra fees. This company is recommended highly without hesitstion.

Justin W and Allen did a great job. Came home from vacation to all my floor flooded and they came in immediately, got all my wet flooring, walls and anything else out of the house and out of the way. Very professional and set up quickly. Explained the process to us and just all around did a stellar job. If I ever need help again then they’re going to be my first call!!

On May 8th I had a flood in my home the adjuster came out and told me that everything had to be pulled up and replace due to the water damage that included every floor in my home my kitchen cabinets and my vanities Frances Welch and the Servpro of New Bern team were amazing and I am truly thankful I did not know where to begin or who to contact for any of my repairs this team was only hired initially to come out and do the drying out of my home and tearing up anything that was damaged but talking Justin Woolsey and Frances Welch they explained to me that they were in a full service business that handle everything from beginning to end and that is exactly what happened I love the communication it was never hard to reach anyone about any of my concerns and no matter who you spoke with they all were knowledgeable about the situation and always had an answer for me even if it was just reassurance that everything's going to be okay I love my home a wish I could give this team more than the five stars because they were amazing.

How to clean up flood damage in a home?

When a flood emergency occurs in your home, it’s only natural to want to take action immediately. Below are some preliminary steps you can take before we arrive, but only attempt what you can do safely.

Shut off the water source, if possible. If you’re not sure where the water is coming from, we’ll inspect and handle the situation as soon as we arrive. If you don’t know how to shut off the water, contact a plumber to help.
Remove excess water by mopping, blotting, or wiping. This could include flooring and hard surface furniture which has standing water on it. Do not use your household vacuum to remove water, since it could cause damage to the vacuum or be unsafe.
Protect carpet, rugs, drapes, and upholstered items from further damage. Place aluminum foil or parchment paper between furniture and wet carpet or rugs. Remove books, magazines, or other colored items from carpets and rugs. Hang draperies up with coated hangers to avoid contact with wet floors. Remove pillows or cushions from wet upholstered items.
Avoid using electric or electronic items that have come into contact with water. This may include items such as light fixtures, ceiling fans, televisions, or appliances. If there is a possibility that someone else on the property may turn on an electric item that has come in contact with water, consider turning off the power to individual circuits within the power distribution panel of the property.

What is a flood?

A flood is an overflow of water onto property that should otherwise be dry. Water from flooding doesn’t always come from the same place, and where it comes from matters a lot. Some floods bring in fairly clean water you can begin to deal with carefully. Others carry bacteria and contaminants that can harm your health. That’s why it’s important to know what you’re up against before you start your cleanup.

What are the most common causes of home floods?

Most home floods come from severe weather and storms, plumbing or appliance failures, and sewer backups or rising groundwater. Each source carries different risks, so identifying the cause early helps you respond as effectively as possible.

Is flood damage covered by insurance?

Flood damage may be covered by your insurance policy, but you’ll need to reach out to your agent to get specifics about your particular coverage. Most typical homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage.

How long does it take to fix flood damage?

The time it takes to fix flood damage depends on the severity of the flood. We’ll inspect your home or business and discuss with you the severity of damage and our plan to help return your property back to pre-loss condition. We’ll then work to remove the water that shouldn’t be there using pumps and water extracting equipment. Once the excess water is gone, we use dehumidifiers and other specialized drying equipment to help return the area to its normal moisture level. This is a closely monitored process, with our teams continually making adjustments to equipment to help ensure the area is recovering as quickly and as safely possible.

How dangerous is a flood?

Other than the environmental hazards, all natural flood water is classified as category 3 water damage. Category 3 water damage is defined as “Grossly unsanitary water containing pathogenic agents, arising from sewage or other contaminated water sources and having the likelihood of causing discomfort or sickness if consumed or exposed to humans.” Category 3 water damage is considered grossly contaminated. It may also be called “black water.”

What should you do if your house floods?

The most important thing to do is to move your family to safety. Next, shut off the water source and electricity if you can do so safely and avoid contact with standing water. Then call a professional water damage restoration company right away to begin the water extraction process.

Are sandbags helpful during a flood?

Sandbags are helpful for slowing and redirecting slow-moving water up to two feet deep, but they do not stop water completely. Do not rely on sandbags to counteract flood damage.
