Fire and water damage events can be devastating, leaving homeowners and insurance adjusters disoriented and overwhelmed. That’s where Northwest Contents comes in, with our focus on simplified restoration and alleviating some of your burdens. The Encircle app is one of our key strategies for speedy and effective home restoration. In this blog, we’ll dive deeper into how this app revolutionizes how we restore homes after fire and water damage events.

Documentation plays a critical role in fire and water damage restoration. It forms the basis for estimating the magnitude of the damage, the resources required for repair, and the cost involved. It serves as a record for insurance claims, providing tangible evidence of the damage and the restoration efforts taken. Comprehensive documentation lets homeowners validate their claims, hastening the insurance adjuster's approval process. It ensures that all the restoration work is carried out systematically and nothing important is overlooked. The Encircle app aids in this process by providing a streamlined platform for capturing and storing all relevant information, making the restoration process more efficient and transparent.

Not to mention the Encircle app also offers a meticulous tracking system for your contents during the restoration process. When your items are moved to storage for safety and restoration work, it can be challenging to keep track of what is where. The Encircle app eliminates this stress by providing detailed inventory tracking to specific box numbers. This way, you have a clear and comprehensive view of where all your belongings are at any given time, adding another layer of convenience and control during the restoration process.

What is Encircle?

Encircle is a game-changing mobile application designed for restoration and insurance professionals. It is an all-in-one solution for managing property damage claims. The Encircle app streamlines the restoration process using real-time data, communication tools, photos, floor plans and sketches, and documentation notes. It allows us to quickly and efficiently assess the extent of the damage and organize the restoration process, keeping you informed every step of the way.

How Does Encircle Benefit Homeowners?

Encircle is a vital tool in helping homeowners return to a sense of normalcy as soon as possible after a damage event. Instead of relying on traditional means of assessment, such as handwritten notes or physical files, Encircle allows our professionals to easily capture photos, document damage, and communicate quickly with your insurance company.

Once the initial packout is complete, homeowners and insurance adjusters receive a comprehensive PDF report. This document includes all photos taken during the assessment and the status of each item affected by the damage, clearly labeled as either restorable or non-restorable. This transparency ensures that all parties are fully aware of the situation and can make informed decisions. This is yet another way Encircle aids in seamlessly managing property damage claims.

How Northwest Contents Utilizes Encircle

When a fire or water damage occurs, Northwest Contents sends a team of restoration professionals to assess the damage and begin the restoration process. Our team utilizes Encircle to capture damaged photos of the house before we start packing, communicate with homeowners and insurance adjusters, and provide real-time updates on the restoration process. This process allows us to restore your home as quickly and efficiently as possible with minimal disruption to your daily life. As we pack, we document what is in each box and record the room and box number. If there is a specific item the homeowner may need, we can look up an item by searching the name and then locating what room and box it is in, limiting how many boxes we have to open before finding it.

In conclusion, the Encircle app is a powerful tool in the restoration and insurance industry, and we are thrilled to be utilizing it at Northwest Contents. By streamlining communication and documentation, Encircle allows us to provide swift and effective home restoration services to our Kalispell, Montana community. If you need home restoration services, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Northwest Contents, where we combine the latest technology with compassionate care.
