As you make out your Spring Cleaning List, at the top of your list should be to check that the smoke detectors are working properly. Last week, there was a tragic fire which killed 6 people and it appears that the smoke detectors were not working. Smoke detectors not only help save lives but could reduce the amount of damage done to one's home and possessions.

Another task that should be at the top of your list - is having a home inventory report prepared for your home. If your home were to experience a fire, the first thing you would need to do is compile a detailed list of all the items that were damaged or destroyed. Without an existing inventory report, you would need to put the list together by memory. To experience what this would be like, take a moment to think of a room in your house (without standing in that room) and list all the items in that room and then have the documentation to prove value and ownership.

An existing inventory report ensures you will receive the maximum reimbursement as well as eliminates the burden of proof insurance companies require before settling a claim.
