The claim as a sequence, not a countdown

Mitigation is days. The claim is weeks to months. Reconstruction is a project. Carriers, perils and supplements move the calendar. This page names the stage you are in, not the Friday it will end.

Mitigate today reconstruction waits on a scope Policies generally require you to prevent further damage once you know about it. Rebuilding before the adjuster has scoped it is a different matter. Keep your own file.

Pick the stage. First hour: safety, stop the source, photograph, notify. Mitigation: equipment and a log. Adjuster: your documentation in your hands. Rebuild: time to compare bids. Close: recoverable depreciation after invoiced work on an RCV policy. HyreRestore does not adjust claims.

Questions this calculator answers

How long does a water damage claim take?
Mitigation can start the same day. The claim is weeks to months. Reconstruction is a building project. Anyone who promises a date without the moisture log and the adjuster’s scope is guessing.
Can I rebuild before the adjuster comes?
Mitigate, do not rebuild. Hidden damage is why demolition waits on a scope, and why supplements exist.
What should I keep?
Photographs before anything moves, a log of who attended, every receipt, copies of everything you sign.
