Homeowners Claims Questions and Answers
Check out the following home insurance claim questions and answers.
How will I know if my policy will cover my claim?
Your claim representative will review your policy with you and help you understand the coverage available for damages to your home and personal belongings.
Does my policy have a deductible?
Yes, your policy has a deductible. The amount can vary depending on your policy and type of loss. Your deductible is the amount you pay out-of-pocket toward repair or replacement costs. In most cases, you pay your contractor directly.
How will I be paid?
Our first payment will pay the actual cash value of the property that was damaged if there is coverage for your claim. The payment will exclude any applicable deductible. The actual cash value is the cost of replacing or repairing an item today after subtracting the depreciation. If your policy has replacement cost coverage, you may receive additional payment after your repairs are completed.

What is recoverable depreciation?
Depreciation is how much your home or personal property has decreased in value since the original purchase date. Age, condition and whether a newer model has been released impact the depreciation and current value. For example, if you brought a new water heater for $1,000 five years ago and used models currently sell for $400, then your water heater has depreciated by $600.
How do I request recoverable depreciation?
Once the repairs are completed or the items are replaced, you’ll need to submit receipts or invoices as proof of purchase or repairs. We will review them and send you a payment for the amount of depreciation reimbursable based on our estimate of repairs and/or replacement costs.
What if I have a mortgage on my home?
If you experience damage to your home, please notify your mortgage company as soon as possible. Both you and your lender have a legal interest in your property if you have a mortgage loan, and money at risk if your home is not repaired. We typically put both your name and the name of your lender on the payment to protect the financial interests of both parties. Both you and your mortgage lender have to approve payment. You will be responsible for contacting your mortgage company to get the check endorsed.
Can you recommend a contractor?
Yes, Integrity is partnered with the Crawford Contractor Connection, a national leader of home renovation and repair with more than 6,000 top-quality contractors in its network. Please advise your claim representative during your initial contact if you are interested.
What if I can’t live in my home until the repairs are completed?
If your home is not livable during the repair process, your claim representative can help you find temporary housing. They will explain how we might cover additional living expenses.
What happens if I begin the repairs and then find additional damage?
If you find additional damage, you or your contractor should contact your claim representative immediately and hold off on making any new repairs until you speak to your claim representative. Depending on the nature of the damage, we may need to reinspect your property before repairs can begin again. We’ll update the repair estimate if we find that the additional damage is related to your claim.
