How Insurance Can Help Cover Odor Cleanup Costs
When odors in your property are caused by water damage, mold, fire, or biohazard situations, many homeowners and business insurance policies may provide some coverage for cleanup. Policies often cover odors that result from sudden events, like a burst pipe, flooding, or fire, but odors from long-term issues, like slow leaks or general wear and tear, are usually not included.
RestorationMaster helps property owners navigate this process from start to finish. We document the affected areas thoroughly with detailed reports, photographs, and professional assessments. Our restoration team then communicates directly with your insurance provider, providing the evidence needed to support your claim.
