What happens after the home insurance adjuster comes out to inspect damages?

During the last snowstorm, the roof of my house caved in. After I filed a claim with my home insurance, an adjuster came out to inspect the damages and take my statement. What happens next in the claims process after the home insurance adjuster comes out?

I’m sorry to hear your roof caved in during the last snowstorm! Fortunately, standard home insurance covers damages due to the weight of snow, sleet, and ice. Here is what happens after the home

insurance adjuster

comes out:

The adjuster submits a report to your insurance company for the claim. It will include the estimated cost of repairs based on the damage.

The home insurance company will issue a settlement check, minus your deductible, so you can repair the covered damages.

Your insurance will likely make the settlement check out to your lender.

The mortgage lender will release the settlement money to you or the company performing the repairs, depending on their rules regarding claims.

Since your home insurance rate can increase after filing a claim, consider using

to explore your home insurance options. Jerry can provide you with competitive quotes in under a minute. Swapping is just as effortless. To save even more money, Jerry can help you bundle your home and auto policies for maximum savings!

Can you wash car mats in the washer?

I’m planning on deep cleaning my car this weekend but I’m unsure what to do with my car mats. I live in a seasonal climate, so they’re caked in road salt and dried mud from the winter. I’d like to throw them in the washer but I’m not sure if I can do that. Any idea about whether it’s okay to wash car mats in the washer?
