Factors That Determine the Value of Your Fire Claim<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Home insurance adjusters will come to your home to provide a full assessment of the damage to it. When possible, they will plan for repairs to happen. But other times, the damage is so significant it may be impossible to simply make repairs. Your adjuster will talk to you about the structural damage present, the personal property lost, and the living expenses you have while you move out of the home so repairs can occur.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your dwelling coverage determines how much the company will pay towards repairs. Replacement cost value pays to rebuild the home using today’s materials. It does not apply age or wear to the process. Actual cash value uses what the home was worth just before the fire to estimate the value of the claim. Your policy will pay up to the value of coverage you selected at the time of purchasing your plan, based on those factors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
