Should I file an insurance claim for this?

Water damage or mold, a few quick questions, and a straight answer: file the claim, or pay out of pocket. We tell you whether it's likely covered AND whether using insurance is actually worth it. No commitment, no upsell. Idaho and Wyoming homeowners, every day.

 What this is and isn't.
This is a directional read on whether to file, based on what we see in the field every day. It is not legal or insurance advice and it is not your carrier's official answer. The point is to set expectations and recommend the smartest next step, even when that's NOT filing a claim.
1 Where did the moisture come from?
2 When did the water event happen?
3 Have you contacted your insurer?
4 What kind of damage are you seeing?
5 What's your insurance deductible?

This is the amount you pay before insurance pays anything. It's on the first page of your policy (the declarations page). If you don't know, pick "Not sure" and we'll help you find it.

6 Roughly what will the cleanup cost?

Your best guess at the total water + mold repair. Not sure? Pick "No idea yet" and we can give you a fast range from a photo.

7 Claims filed in the last 5 years? Optional

Filing can affect your premium, so the number of recent claims matters for a borderline call.

8 Package preference? Optional

If we end up doing the remediation, which tier do you think fits? We will recommend whichever tier matches the situation regardless. See what is included at each tier.

9 Where should we send your answer?

We send a copy of your file-or-not recommendation + next step to your email so you can refer back to it.

Already been denied?

Pick "Already filed and denied" in step 3. We do a free 15-minute review of denial letters - mold appeals win more often than people expect when the documentation is right.
