MRS Restoration – Customer Rights During an Insurance Claim

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A POLICYHOLDER

At MRS Restoration, we believe homeowners and property owners deserve transparency, honesty, and fair treatment during the insurance claim process. Many customers are unaware that they have important rights when dealing with insurance companies, adjusters, mitigation vendors, contractors, and claim representatives.

This page is designed to help educate our customers about common insurance claim rights and best practices during a property damage loss.

---

#1. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR

You are **NOT required** to use a contractor, mitigation company, or vendor recommended by your insurance company.

Insurance carriers may suggest “preferred vendors” or “program contractors,” but the final decision belongs to YOU.

You have the right to hire:

* your own mitigation company,
* your own contractor,
* your own engineer,
* your own hygienist,
* and your own experts.

MRS Restoration works for the PROPERTY OWNER — not the insurance company.

# 2. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO EMERGENCY MITIGATION

Most insurance policies require homeowners to take reasonable steps to protect the property from further damage after a loss.

This may include:

* water extraction,
* structural drying,
* roof tarping,
* board-up services,
* mold prevention,
* sewage cleanup,
* or emergency stabilization.

Delaying mitigation can lead to:

* increased damage,
* mold growth,
* structural deterioration,
* and potential claim complications.

# 3. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION

Insurance companies have a duty to:

* investigate claims reasonably,
* review documentation fairly,
* communicate promptly,
* and make claim decisions in good faith.

A claim should be evaluated based on:

* actual damage,
* industry standards,
* policy language,
* expert findings,
* moisture documentation,
* and safety requirements.

Not simply the lowest possible cost.

# 4. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS

You may ask your insurance company:

* why damage is being denied,
* how pricing was determined,
* what policy language applies,
* why items were omitted,
* or what documentation is needed.

You are entitled to clear communication and explanations regarding your claim.

# 5. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DOCUMENT YOUR LOSS

Property owners should:

* take photographs,
* keep invoices,
* save damaged materials when possible,
* maintain communication records,
* and document all interactions related to the claim.

MRS Restoration also performs detailed:

* moisture mapping,
* psychrometric documentation,
* equipment tracking,
* and daily project reporting.

# 6. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISPUTE A CLAIM DECISION

If you disagree with:

* scope,
* pricing,
* denial language,
* depreciation,
* causation findings,
* or payment amounts,

you may request:

* reinspection,
* supervisor review,
* engineering review,
* appraisal (if applicable),
* or legal consultation.

A disagreement does NOT automatically mean your claim is invalid.

# 7. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Following water, sewage, mold, fire, or smoke damage, properties may contain:

* elevated moisture,
* microbial growth,
* airborne contaminants,
* electrical hazards,
* structural hazards,
* or unsafe building materials.

Emergency mitigation is often performed to protect:

* occupants,
* indoor air quality,
* and structural integrity.

# 8. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REVIEW ALL DOCUMENTATION

You may request copies of:

* estimates,
* reports,
* photographs,
* engineering findings,
* moisture readings,
* drying logs,
* invoices,
* and claim correspondence.

Transparency matters.

# 9. YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL PRESSURED

Customers should never feel pressured to:

* sign incomplete paperwork,
* accept verbal promises,
* stop mitigation prematurely,
* use a specific vendor,
* or settle concerns without understanding the process.

Ask questions until you are comfortable.

# 10. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

Mitigation and restoration work should follow recognized industry standards when applicable, including:

* IICRC standards,
* moisture monitoring procedures,
* safety protocols,
* contamination handling procedures,
* and proper documentation practices.

MRS Restoration believes proper documentation protects BOTH the homeowner and the integrity of the claim.

# WHAT MRS RESTORATION BELIEVES

At MRS Restoration, we believe:

* homeowners deserve honesty,
* claims should be documented properly,
* safety comes before shortcuts,
* and customers should fully understand their options during a stressful loss.

Our goal is to help customers navigate the mitigation and restoration process with professionalism, transparency, and care.

Storms can turn your life upside down in seconds — and that’s exactly what happened to this homeowner in Morganton when a massive tree came crashing through their roof during severe weather overnight. 🌧️🌳🏠

The impact broke several rafters and left a huge hole open to the outside, allowing heavy rainwater to flood the kitchen and dining room areas before help could arrive. By the time our MRS Restoration crew got on site, ceilings were collapsing, insulation was saturated, and water had spread throughout the main level flooring.

✅ Emergency water extraction
✅ Ceiling and insulation removal
✅ Structural drying
✅ Wet material demolition
