Common friction with Travelers
Travelers Concierge can pressure customers toward in-network vendors.
You have the legal right to choose any licensed restoration provider. Travelers pays your selected restoration company at the same rates as their network. We make it easy to decline Concierge and proceed with us.
Travelers sometimes scopes ceiling damage conservatively when moisture is "not visible from below."
We take above-ceiling moisture readings via cavity probe and document insulation saturation directly, supporting removal scope where warranted.
Tip: call us before you call Travelers
Restoration crews can be on-site within hours; an adjuster may take a day or two. The faster storm starts, the smaller the final loss.

It depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Storm damage is typically covered under "wind/hail" or "weather" perils. Some carriers carry separate windstorm deductibles in storm-prone areas. Flood (rising water from outside) requires separate flood insurance. Either way, Catalyst documents everything Travelers needs and bills them directly where allowed.
Travelers 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.
