Common friction with Liberty Mutual
Liberty has been known to scope conservatively on smoke and contents.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Hoarding itself is a gradual condition and rarely covered as a standalone claim. However, damage from a covered loss discovered during cleanup (a burst pipe beneath the hoard, for example) may be claimable — we scope covered and non-covered work separately so the claimable portion gets claimed. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Liberty Mutual needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Liberty Mutual 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 Liberty Mutual) cannot require you to use their preferred network. You have the absolute legal right to choose any licensed restoration company. Liberty Mutual pays your selected provider at the same rates as their preferred network.
Liberty Mutual 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 Liberty Mutual adjuster.
We work resident-led whenever possible. Sentimental items, paperwork, and photographs are sorted with the resident or a designated family member before any disposal.
