Question 10 of 16 in Claim Settlement

My home was partially damaged by fire and I want to make some temporary repairs, Such as boarding up blown windows. Do I have to get the insurer’s permission to begin?


Make all temporary repairs as are necessary to protect your property from further loss or damage. For example, securing the premises with a temporary fence may prevent further losses should uninvited third parties stroll into your damaged property. But in the event of a total loss, before the appraisal process is completed, it is usually not a good idea to remove damaged goods or other property. Consider taking photographs to show the way things looked before embarking on the clean-up and repairing.
