No matter what type of harm your Washington, NC, home might sustain, the SERVPRO electronic insurance claims service can be a great benefit. You will probably want to file an insurance claim for any loss, including everything from a flood resulting from a pipe burst to a mold infestation to a house fire.

SERVPRO's Electronic Claims Service Can Help

1. It Improves Efficiency

The electronic claims service is much more efficient than traditional paper methods. Paper documents must pass through multiple hands, often in different locations. It can take days to receive them by mail, and only then can the process continue. Everyone who is authorized can access all of the information as it is updated. They can view it or even submit changes as they occur. For example, the insurance adjuster can upload photos and estimates of the damage online so others can view them in real-time and continue working. This efficiency can make for a seamless process amongst multiple parties.

2. It Increases Accessibility for Everyone

All claim information is saved in one location in an electronic format, even the most recent data. This method enables everyone involved to access documents, photos, and other important information nearly immediately and efficiently. They can also access it from anywhere with an internet connection, which means they can view the information pertaining to the damage from their office, on-site, or anywhere else.

3. It Enhances Security

The electronic file system is much more secure than traditional paper files. Essential forms, damage photos, and other insurance data are saved, encrypted, and backed up digitally and often automatically. This system reduces the chance of lost or misplaced insurance claim documents and other records.

4. It Heightens Convenience

Accessibility is convenient and straightforward from desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Not only can the various professionals, such as fire damage restoration experts, obtain the information from any location, but they can access it from virtually any device. This accessibility by multiple professionals at the same time also means easier interaction and collaboration amongst everyone.

5. It Boosts Accuracy

The data is stored in a virtual file in a digital format. Therefore, the accuracy of the information is typically much better than paper files or a mixture of different media. The computer software can identify errors that the insurance agent and other professionals may easily miss.

6. It Is Eco-Friendly

When everything is handled electronically, it can significantly reduce paper use. This digital process is very eco-friendly.

The insurance claim process is never pleasant. However, SERVPRO makes it easier for you and all professionals involved to keep it running smoothly from beginning to end. If you experience a flood, fire, or mold problem, or any other loss at your home, call your insurance agent as soon as possible. After all, the earlier you contact your insurance company, the quicker you'll receive the check. Then, you can finally start the restoration process to return your home to its previous condition.
