Tri State Restorations works with all major insurance carriers. While we are contracted by you (the property owner) to do work at your property, we will collect any deductible payments on behalf of your insurance and send them a copy of our invoice as a courtesy.

If your insurance is handling your loss as a covered claim, we will work directly with them and you to handle payment of outstanding invoices.

We understand the restoration field is one of unforeseen emergencies that everyone is not necessarily ready for. Our customers who self-pay (pay out of pocket instead of filing an insurance claim) are entitled to a discounted bundled package price on our services, because we are able to eliminate the need to perform daily psychometric readings in-between the first and last visit.

Generally speaking, your homeowner's policy should cover most perils. However, we find that clients should read their policies every year and take inventory of what's covered and what isn't. Many clients are under insured and uninformed about certain riders that can be added for losses such as sewage backups, drains and sump pumps.

While there is no scientific testing or methodologies on the market, there is a device called the Hygiena ATP electronic hygiene meter which measures the amount of bacteria on surface materials. This state-of-the-art device gives you results in a matter of seconds and can be used on multiple locations, enabling you to have "Peace of Mind" that your home or facility is guaranteed clean.

Our Hygiena ATP surface testers will be used periodically while workers are on-site to measure the amount of bacteria and contaminants present, ensuring all surfaces have been effectively cleaned.

Great question! Because every damage is unique and every property is different, our team is unable to give a reliable estimate for service over the phone or via chat.

A water or sewage damage in your property is considered an emergency. This is because the longer water sits untreated, the scope of damage can increase. For example, a clean water loss can become contaminated when it maintains contact with building materials. Additionally, microbial growth can begin to take hold after about 48 hours of exposure.

For these reasons, property insurers and mitigation experts alike agree: don't wait for an estimate! Tri State Restorations can begin mitigating a water loss at any time of day or night to help you prevent additional collateral damage.

A TPA is a company hired by the insurance carrier to facilitate the claims process and provide money paid out services.

Their job is to adjust claims and find ways to s ave the insurance company money, some carriers use this process in an ethical way, but many use it to brow beat homeowners and contractors. There is a great resource on Amazon, Delay Deny Defend, written by Jay M Fienman, which will help you understand the unfortunate 'ugly' side of the industry.

A public adjuster is a person or firm hired by the client to represent them in advocating for their insurance policy, facilate work and act as legal representation of the claim should it go into litigation.

Typically clients hire a public adjuster for larger claims including house fires, whole house floods, etc. Typically, a public adjuster is paid a percentage for this service between 5-15% of the total claim.

Unfortunately, whether the issue is coverage or the lack of responsibility taken by the carrier, you will be responsible. We want our clients to carefully explore and utilize the options available to them which often includes working with their contractor to determine favorable payment terms, seek finance options or qualify for a program such as our Homeowner Hardship Fund.

If you have a covered claim and there is a refusal by the carrier to acknowledge the claim or there are attempts to deny your claim, you have the option to direct complaints to the National Association of Insurance Carriers, here.
