Minneapolis, MN – Water Damage Pro, a leader in restoration services throughout the Twin Cities metro, has announced its next professional education event: “Navigating Insurance Claims for Water and Fire Damage”. This Lunch & Learn session is scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at The Freehouse, located at 701 N Washington Ave #101 in Minneapolis.
This in-person event is designed to provide restoration contractors, insurance professionals, adjusters, property managers, and real estate professionals with actionable strategies to improve how claims are documented, processed, and resolved. Through real-world scenarios and expert-led workshops, the session will address the most common challenges facing professionals dealing with fire and water damage restoration projects that require insurance coordination.
Water and fire damage events continue to rank among the top insured property losses in the United States. Yet, claim approvals are frequently delayed due to miscommunication, inadequate documentation, and inconsistencies between restoration scopes and insurance expectations. This event aims to reduce that friction by bringing together both sides of the claims process in an educational, collaborative environment.
Water Damage Pro has helped hundreds of residential and commercial property owners recover from severe structural damage due to floods, pipe bursts, kitchen fires, and storm impacts. The team specializes in fast-response fire and water damage restoration in Minneapolis, using advanced equipment, detailed inspection procedures, and insurance-compatible documentation protocols.

Industry-Wide Impact
According to industry research, delays in the claims process for fire and water damage frequently stem from insufficient information, undocumented repairs, and discrepancies between estimated and approved scopes. By creating open dialogue between restoration firms and adjusters, this event hopes to foster greater consistency and efficiency for all parties involved.
"This event was created to bridge the gap between the field and the desk," said Jay Lee, Lead Project Coordinator at Water Damage Pro. "If contractors and insurers can align expectations early, claim resolutions happen faster, clients are happier, and everyone wins."
