What reasonable steps am I required to take to secure my property from further damage?

As the policyholder, after a loss you are required to mitigate your damages and secure the property.  The value of a restoration contractor is critical at this juncture.  Their services should include:

  • Board up broken windows and doors
  • Temporary fencing
