Common friction with Farmers
Local agent involvement is helpful for coordination but can add a layer to communication.
We CC both the agent and the assigned adjuster on every status update so neither party becomes a bottleneck.
Farmers can scope mold conservatively unless source-water documentation is strong.
We tie every mold finding to a dated, photographed water event and submit the moisture timeline alongside the mold scope.
Tip: call us before you call Farmers
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. Homeowners policies sometimes cover up to a sub-limit; specialty carriers and property management policies often have broader coverage. We coordinate carrier conversations directly. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Farmers needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Farmers 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.
