If your area just got hit by a storm, the next 24-48 hours matter more than most homeowners realize.
Here's how to document damage the right way before you call your adjuster:
1. Take photos immediately — date and timestamp everything
2. Photograph from multiple angles, including ground level and any accessible areas
3. Document damage to other property too (gutters, siding, vehicles, fencing)
4. Note the date and approximate time of the storm
5. Save any weather reports or alerts from that day
6. Do NOT attempt repairs before your adjuster has seen the damage
Good documentation protects your claim. It gives your adjuster clear evidence and reduces the chance of disputes down the line.
