Tips when you call from La Prada

• If you live in a townhome, duplex or apartment, say so. Shared walls and neighboring units change how water and smoke travel, and the property manager or HOA may need to be involved.
• Know your deductible. Hail and wind claims often use a percentage, while water claims usually use a flat amount, so the numbers differ by cause.
• Pets and children should stay out of any area with standing water, soot or visible mold until a provider says it is safe.
• Tell us if the home has a crawlspace, a slab or an attic with ducts. It changes where water hides and where mold grows.
