Mitigation and Documentation From the First Hour
Your first duty under nearly every policy is to mitigate, stop the loss from growing. We do that immediately with extraction, drying, board-up, and containment, and we document professionally from the first hour: photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and scope notes. That documentation is often what keeps a claim from stalling.
One Company Through the Whole Claim
Because restoration, demolition, and rebuild are all Northwest Abatement divisions, the mitigation and the reconstruction stay under one project file, which is exactly what adjusters want to see. If opened walls reveal more damage, a documented supplement keeps the claim accurate.

Broadly: you mitigate the damage to stop it growing, document everything, work with the adjuster to agree on scope, then complete the restoration and any rebuild. We handle the mitigation and reconstruction and document it in the format carriers expect, coordinating with your adjuster throughout.
We document and scope the work the way carriers require and coordinate directly with your adjuster on the claim. Specific billing arrangements depend on your policy and carrier, and we'll walk you through how it works for your situation.
It happens, especially when opening walls reveals hidden damage. We document the additional damage and submit a supplement so the claim reflects the true scope. Thorough documentation from the first hour is what makes those supplements stick.
Continuity and cleaner documentation. When the same company mitigates, documents, and rebuilds, there's no gap between contractors and the claim file stays consistent from the first photo to the final invoice, which makes the whole claim smoother.
