My basement flood cleanup cost me $800 before I even called the insurance company
Found out last week that my sump pump failed after a power outage during that big rainstorm, and I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with the slow insurance claim process for water damage in Edmonton basements?

My $1200 claim took almost three weeks just to get an adjuster out here (Edmonton too actually). Maybe it's worth waiting before spending your own money on cleanup since the insurance company might not reimburse everything upfront.

Three weeks just to get an adjuster out here" sounds about right for Edmonton. I'd hold off on spending your own money next time, because the insurance company will only reimburse what they agree was necessary, and they might argue with some of your cleanup costs. Better to get them to send someone out first and let them approve the work before you start digging into your wallet.
