Reasons you should say no to hiring a restoration contrator who is a preferred vendor for your insurance company. Note: Not all insurance companies use prefered vendors, and of those that do: many claims and repairs are handled successfully, but when something is not in your favor you need a company that works for you that is trained and experienced that can help look out for your interests. Response time: If you call a Utah water damage mitigation company directly (depending on your location) many will be able to arrive and start work within 1 hour. If you call your insurance company and say yes to them sending a preferred vendor, it will take a few minutes to relay the assignment to their vendor. Many insurance companies allow their vendor up to 1 hour to "call you" and respond within 5 hours. Loyalty: Whether its the subjectvity of the event or damage that may not be obvious or even hidden. You deserve a countractor that works for you rather than one that has strict instructions from the insurance company about what they can do or say. Delays: Even though the industry standard may be obvious about what needs to be done, some insurance companies will not allow their vendors to proceed with a water damage repair until they have approval. Accountablity: When insurance companies require multiple contractors be involved there can be gaps in accountability. It may not be clear whos responsiblity it is (or there may be insufficient budget) to set trim or touch up painting after flooring is installed. Or rehang doors, adjust or modify doors, or reset contents. When you have one water damage restoration contractor that oversees and is responsible for everything there are no gaps in accountability. Mold: Some insurance comapnies do not have coverage for mold. When mold is discovered on a Utah water damage, whether it is pre-existing mold or mold from the recent event, prefered vendors have specific instructions about what to say and how it will be dealt with and it is not in your favor. If your Utah water damage contractor is not a prefered vendor there are more options available to help you deal with the mold at the lowest possible cost. Incomplete Drying: Some insurance companies disagree with some industry standards for drying. Their prefered vendors follow their instructions even though it is against industry standards and may put your home at risk. Convienience: Some insurance companies "will not allow" the same company that does the Utah water damage mitigation to also do the repairs, and some have "flooring programs" that homeowners are "required" to use. Well it is not a "requirement" in your policy. Why should you be "forced" to deal with mutiple contractors if you would prefer the convienience of dealing with only one contractor. Your insurance policy does not limit your choice. It is your choice for who you want to have do the work in your home. Advice: A prefered vendor has instructions from the insurance company about what they can say or questions they can answer. They are not in a possition to advise you on some topics. |
