5 Critical Steps to Take After Property Damage

Whether you own a single-family home or oversee dozens of commercial properties, disaster can strike at any time—leaving behind serious damage and even bigger headaches.

Most people instinctively contact their insurance company after a loss. But did you know you have the right to bring in your own expert to represent you during the claims process?

At Fire Claims Solutions, we’re New England’s leading public adjusting firm, proudly serving Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. With decades of experience, we help homeowners and business owners navigate the insurance maze—and come out with the settlement they deserve.

If you’ve suffered damage to your property, here are 5 crucial steps to take immediately:

1. Prioritize Safety

Ensure everyone on-site—guests, staff, or residents—is safe and out of harm’s way.

2. Stop Further Damage

Secure the property and take reasonable steps to prevent additional losses. This might include boarding up windows or shutting off utilities.

3. Document Everything

Take clear photos and videos of all affected areas and damaged items. The more evidence, the better.

4. Keep Every Receipt

Save all receipts related to emergency repairs, temporary housing, or cleanup. These may be reimbursable under your policy.

5. Call a Public Adjuster

Hiring a public adjuster early ensures you’re not navigating a complex claim alone. We advocate for you—not your insurance company.
