Flood damage differs quite a bit from water damage, and the measures to get ready differ as well.

Peak flood season can leave both insurers and homeowners underwater — literally and figuratively. But insurers can make the entire claims process much smoother for their customers when they understand the complexities flood claims present.

In this podcast, Rick Wahlstrom and Jordan Demmon, both from 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, discuss the finer points of flood claims, and how insurers can work together with restorers and independent adjusters to make claimants whole again after a flooding disaster. You'll learn:

● How much a residential flood claim can cost, including tear out, demolition and full dryout;

● Why flood claims have their own special policy exclusions and conditions, and how this requires understanding complex policies and FEMA guidelines; and

● What restoration professionals can do to prepare for flood season.
