Is It Worth Filing a State Farm Claim for Minor Water Damage Repairs?
Challenge
A homeowner in Bogart noticed several water stains forming on their ceiling. Unsure how to proceed, they reached out to their State Farm agent, who then contacted our team at Level Creek for a contractor's opinion. When deciding whether to file an insurance claim, factors like policy coverage, deductibles, and the extent of the damage are considered.
Solution
To support the homeowner through this decision, Level Creek provided a free site inspection immediately. After a thorough inspection, the mitigation technician and project manager determined that it was in the homeowner's best interest not to file a claim. The damage was minimal, and the repairs were expected to cost less than the deductible. After the plumber repaired the leak, minor drying and cleaning restored the space to normal.
Throughout the entire process, Level Creek helped the homeowner understand their options and make an informed decision on how to proceed. Our team also stayed in contact with the insurance provider, updating the agent every step of the way. This instance represents the value in acting quickly and consulting a restoration professional if unsure whether the damage is claim-worthy. The Level Creek team helped the homeowner save money by preventing further water damage and avoiding the consequences of filing an unnecessary insurance claim.
