After a flood, the clock is ticking—and the decisions you make during the first few days can affect how your claim is handled.

In this episode of The Simply Flood Podcast, Lisa sits down with Craig Fowler of CNC Catastrophe and National Claims, who has more than 30 years of experience in the claims industry, to talk about one of the most important, and often misunderstood, parts of a flood claim: structural drying and mitigation.

Craig explains what homeowners should know before signing a contract with a mitigation company, why documentation matters, and how drying logs can affect what gets reimbursed under a flood policy.

One of the biggest takeaways? Don't wait until a flood happens to learn how your flood insurance works. Understanding your coverage and responsibilities ahead of time can make an already difficult situation much easier to navigate.
