Full Service Pack Out, Cleaning and Storage Company
Why Do Adjusters Say No?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen an adjuster make a mistake by saying no to a pack out and contents cleaning. Denying this service can produce negative results in three key areas.
1. Can result a larger claim expense
2. Greater number of in home remediation days
3. An unhappy insured.
As a professional restoration contractor, you know how hard it is to work around contents. Even shifting from room to room is time consuming and is not the proper way to handle the insured contents. With the contents out of the way, you can be a far more effective and professional contractor. You’ll be able to remove, order, dry the structure, and perform the repair work required.
There have been several fire and smoke projects we have been called in on when the Insurance Adjuster has paid for cleaning and remediation. However, it was all done in the home. You know the story… the insured enters the structure after the work was done and smells smoke! If the contents had been removed and cleaned by Carton Contents this would not have happened. With the contents gone, the home could have been properly treated and sealed so there would be no soot or lingering odor. As a contractor, it should be done correctly the first time – the way a professional job should be.
Another frequent example is when the insurance adjuster says no to a pack out and cleaning after a water loss. As a contractor, you do your best to manipulate contents in a house and get the wall to wall carpet out, but there is just too much furniture and bric-a-brac in the way. You accidently break something or ding furniture and so you’re not able to do your job properly. It’s only when the insured starts to get upset that the adjuster gives you the green light to hire Carton Contents. In this case, you have lost days of remediation time, performed double the work, and the insured will be out of their home for a longer time.
It’s in everyone’s best interest to take a few extra minutes and explain the benefits to an adjuster. It’s a more cost effective way to handle the remediation and it will help you to do a more professional job. It will also create the most positive experience for the insured as they work their way through the loss by reducing the days that they will be out of their place.
Carton Contents is a full service contents company and we are happy to help you with any contents project you may have. Keep your skilled people doing what they do best, either in the home or a commercial site, and let us handle the contents. We free up your people so they can handle more work and do a better job on the projects you already have. Call us on your next job that requires a pack out! 862-881-2655
