The path to restoration is filled with a plethora of events that can be overwhelming due to the lack of control or financial uncertainty. Regardless, you need to be ready to react as soon as possible for commercial loss assessment & property assessment to file your insurance claim.

Therefore, this post aims to help readers understand the assessment process so property owners waste no time seeking commercial restoration services to return their properties to their original condition or better. 

What Is Commercial Loss or Damage Assessment?

Commercial loss or damage assessment is a complex process that requires the services of restoration experts. If your property is destroyed and beyond repair, the measure of damages is generally the salvage value of the property in the market. If the property can be repaired, the amount of damages is usually the sum to the repair costs, income and business loss, and the cost of invaluable assets. 

Depending on the nature of the damage, the team will compile an actionable work breakdown schedule of repairs after cross-referencing all findings with the client’s insurance polity using a comprehensive and detailed account of the damage for claims. 

An Overview of the Commercial Loss Assessment & Property Restoration Process

For property owners that have experienced property damage recently, here’s an overview of the assessment and the restoration process following the claims approval:

  • Safety and Security

Property restoration experts start their assessments by getting all employees to safety by contacting 911 for medical assistance and reports. The next task is to protect the premises from further damage by securing entrances, moving undamaged property like equipment and inventory, and making temporary repairs to minimize further damage. 

  • Taking Inventory and Documenting

Once the property is declared safe, the restoration team takes photos or videos of the property for evidence. If the property had security cameras, they can use the footage to determine the cause or extent of the damage. The team will also keep a record of costs and receipts for any repairs and restoration work. This way, when property owners submit a claim to the insurance company, all financial statements are current and as complete as possible. The claim file should include:

  • Receipts
  • Restoration Expense Logs
  • Wages
  • Hour Logs
  • Financial Statements
  • Details about your lease if a tenant, or tenants if a landlord
  • Notations about actions by authorities
  • Restoration Services Contract Material
  • Property Restoration

Once you report a claim to your insurer, they will take look into your case. If the damage significantly affects your continuing operations, you can request the company to expedite your claim to begin full-scale property restoration. Once you have the partial payments, you can cover the initial assessment costs and start the recovery as per your policy.
