The Insurance Claim Process
Working with Good Times Plumbing & Restoration to manage your insurance claim is easy and involves five simple steps:
Step 1: Damage Assessment
Whether you’ve experienced water, fire, mold, or sewage damage at your Phoenix area home or business, once you’ve ensured everyone’s safe, start documenting the damage as soon as possible.
Write down the details of what you see, no matter how minor you think the damage might be. You can also take videos or pictures. This list will be beneficial when you call your insurer, as claims adjusters typically request information about any damage before they come out to inspect the property.
Remember that many insurance companies immediately reject claims, so be prepared for that to happen.
Step 2: Call a Trusted Restoration Contractor
Have a professional restoration company like Good Times Plumbing &Restoration perform a follow-up inspection. We’re available 24/7 to take your call and can be on our way to your property in an hour or less.

You need to protect your property from further damage, so don’t wait to call our restoration team. We’ll help you decide which solutions will protect your property and the people in it and work with your insurer.
Step 3: File Your Claim & Meet With Your Adjuster
Before calling your insurance company, review your policy to understand what’s covered and your deductibles for repairs. Insurance policies use replacement cost value or actual cash value when determining reimbursement.
- Replacement cost value (RCV) covers the incurred cost at the time of replacement.
- Actual cash value (ACV) considers the cash value of the item being repaired or replaced at the time of loss.
As part of our services, Good Times Plumbing & Restoration meets with the adjuster during their review of the damage estimate we prepare with every possible cost, including materials and labor.
Throughout the process, keep in mind that while we can discuss our estimate with you, we can’t discuss your actual claim.
Step 4: Receive Claim Approval
While some property owners file a claim before an estimate’s completed, it’s generally more beneficial to wait until you know what your insurer will cover before filing a claim. Once the claim is approved and depending on your insurer’s procedures, you’ll either receive a check, or the insurer will pay the restoration company directly.
