Starting claim for water damage

[Peter Burnside]

Ugh. This follows my galvanized pipe post. Pipe burst in the kitchen and flooded cabinets, floor, basement ceiling and carpet, etc.

This is going to be well above my insurance deductible of $3200. I'm guessing it may approach 7-10k or more. I have a property manager working with vendors and I can't get to the property myself for another 2 weeks.

Any advice on working with the insurance company for the best outcome?
