Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

An extraction invoice should distinguish contaminated water removal from later finish work. For a Cherokee backup, the policyholder checks coverage directly with the insurance company. No contractor can settle that decision.

• Ask the insurer about water backup terms
• List rooms touched by contaminated water
• Photograph sewage entry from a dry location

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
