Many, but not all, disaster restoration service companies help with insurance claims by providing proper documentation, including estimates, reports, and photos after a home or business experiences damage that requires professional claims processing. This is one of those times when experts, especially Paul Davis expert claims people, should be your first choice to work in direct collaboration with an insurance company. Paul Davis claims people become both your skilled coach and highly knowledgeable referee, well aware of all the rules, policy minutiae and pre-requisites to achieve the sound financial care you are due. They help in speeding up the process by planning restoration in a way that aligns with insurance requirements.
Detailed and accurate estimates of restoration and repair costs also benefit today with an expert tool called DocusketchTM used by Paul Davis technicians to calculate the many details that ensure accuracy and transparency, thus reducing time for insurer verification and approval. “What a godsend when we started using it several years ago,” says Darren Impson, President, Paul Davis of Tampa, Florida. “The immersive documentation available with DocusketchTM enables Paul Davis technicians to settle claims faster than photo documentation because DocusketchTM 360º documentation delivers 99% accuracy – even in extreme and low-light situations. Here’s how we use it, especially on large claims involving fire, water and storm damage.”
Immersive tours are completed in far less time in each room. With a timeline view feature, a clear, 360º representation of progress on any loss is part of the process. Adding text, photo, voice, or video comments to documentation helps convey the situation clearly to insurance adjusters, as well as policyholders. Everyone who needs to be in the loop gets a faster and more precise digital floor plan from 360º documentation, delivered as ESX or FML database files with full quality assurance. Adding plumbing fixtures, cabinets, ceilings, counters, attics, stairs, and more provides a comprehensive sketch so certified estimators can deliver detailed, insurance-compliant estimates quickly and accurately. “It’s really fast too,” says Impson. “In years past, the time to estimate materials for reconstruction took days. Now a completed estimate can be obtained in as little as 24 hours. Time of course is money as the saying goes. We save clients a lot of time by speeding material and labor estimates,” adds Impson. “ It’s another way we deliver superior service, “When things go wrong, we do what’s right.TM”
