Understanding Property Damage Mitigation

Home insurance helps protect your property and possessions in the case of a loss. If you’ve suffered a loss, damage mitigation (preventing additional property damage) is one of the most important steps you can take when filing a claim.

How We Can Assist

Have a Question?

What is damage mitigation?

Managing property damage is called mitigation. Failing to mitigate (prevent additional damage to your property), may reduce or eliminate your insurance coverage, depending on the circumstances. That’s why it is important to understand the answer to the question, “What is damage mitigation?” and know the steps to take to help prevent additional damage.

Some common types of property damage mitigation include:

Removing fallen trees or branches from your home.

Covering the damaged area(s) of your home with tarps
to help prevent further wind or water damage.

Turning off your water and stopping a leak.

Drying out your home.

Depending on the extent of the damage, you may need to hire an expert to assist you with damage mitigation. Often, a plumber, restoration company, contractor or other professional can help.
