Chubb Connects Homeowners with Water-Damage Restoration Specialists

Wednesday February 8, 9:35 am ET
WARREN, N.J., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies has established a preferred vendor network of restoration specialists to help homeowners mitigate and repair damage to their homes caused by water.

Chubb has added Disaster Kleenup International and Paul Davis Restoration to its vendor network. Upon request, Chubb may refer policyholders to either firm for mitigation and restoration services. The firms, which have more than 70 years of combined experience in mitigation, restoration and reconstruction services, warranty their work.

"These companies offer professional mitigation and restoration services," said Peter Seay, claim vendor manager of Chubb. "Their extensive experience and nationwide networks will complement Chubb's renowned claims handling, as well as its Masterpiece Protection Network, which provides referral services to the most respected home protection specialists around the country."

The mitigation firms can respond within hours after a water-damage claim is filed. Certified technicians work to stabilize the water damage and immediately begin the drying process to help reduce the severity of the loss. The goal is to minimize disruption and quickly return the policyholder's home to its pre-loss condition.

"Early mitigation is crucial when responding to a water-damage claim," Seay said. "When a home sustains damage, it is important to begin cleaning up the affected areas as soon as possible. The longer water remains inside the home, the more severe the damage can be."

Disaster Kleenup International is a network of independent property-damage restoration contractors across North America. Founded in 1974, Disaster Kleenup International member companies provide a full range of services, including emergency response, water damage mitigation, mold remediation and complete reconstruction.

Chubb last year created the Masterpiece® Protection Network to provide its customers with referrals to security, inventory, loss mitigation and other home protection specialists. Customers can receive discounts from the service providers, as well as premium credits from Chubb.
