Nationwide typically covers sudden, accidental structural drying losses. Coverage specifics depend on your individual policy and deductible. Catalyst can document the loss to the standard Nationwide expects so coverage decisions go smoothly.
Nationwide typically assigns an adjuster within 1-3 business days. Structural Drying mitigation can start immediately - reasonable emergency steps to limit further damage are reimbursable. Total claim resolution depends on scope and supplements but most structural drying claims close within 30-90 days.
Yes. Insurance carriers (including Nationwide) cannot require you to use their preferred network. You have the absolute legal right to choose any licensed restoration company. Nationwide pays your selected provider at the same rates as their preferred network.
Nationwide expects photos of the loss from first response, a clear cause-of-loss narrative, scope in Xactimate format, daily moisture/equipment readings during the work, and final clearance documentation. We provide all of this on every job and submit it directly to your Nationwide adjuster.
Structural materials release moisture into the air at a controlled rate. Rushing the process risks trapped moisture, swelling, and mold growth.
