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 water damage starts, the smaller the final loss.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Sudden and accidental water losses are typically covered under standard HO-3 homeowners policies. The mitigation phase is almost always reimbursable; reconstruction is a separate scope. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Erie Insurance needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Erie Insurance typically assigns an adjuster within 1-3 business days. Catalyst can begin work immediately - reasonable emergency steps to limit further damage are reimbursable. Most claims close within 30-90 days depending on scope and any supplements.
Yes. Insurance carriers (including Erie Insurance) cannot require you to use their preferred network. You have the absolute legal right to choose any licensed restoration company. Erie Insurance pays your selected provider at the same rates as their preferred network.
Erie Insurance expects photos from first response, a clear cause-of-loss narrative, an itemized scope in Xactimate format, documentation of the work performed, and final verification. Catalyst provides all of it and submits directly to your Erie Insurance adjuster.
