Common friction with Erie Insurance
Erie occasionally caps mitigation costs without supplement room.
We provide upfront written scope with line items so the adjuster sees the full picture before any cap conversation.
Local agent gatekeeping can slow direct adjuster contact.
We CC the agent on every report but escalate directly to the assigned adjuster as needed to keep timelines moving.
Tip: call us before you call Erie Insurance
Restoration crews can be on-site within hours; an adjuster may take a day or two. The faster biohazard starts, the smaller the final loss.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Biohazard cleanup coverage varies significantly.
