Preparing Your Property for a Claims Inspection

A little preparation helps a claims inspection go smoothly and supports an accurate record of the loss.

Make the property accessible. Clear walkways, unlock gates, and ensure the adjuster can reach affected areas, including the roof where safe and appropriate.

Organize your documentation. Have your photos, repair receipts, and any prior inspection reports ready to share.

Prepare a list of questions and concerns. Noting them in advance helps ensure they are addressed during the visit.

Keep a record of the inspection itself — who attended, what was reviewed, and any follow-up discussed.
