What Restoration Companies Should Know About Third-Party Claims
Not all claims come from your client. Third-party claims can arise from: Neighbors affected by contamination Tenants in multi-unit properties Employees or subcontractors Adjacent property damage These claims can be complex — and costly. Standard policies may not fully respond. ARI Brokers helps restoration firms prepare for exposures beyond the immediate job site. Because liability isn’t always limited to who hired you.


The Insurance Gap Between General Liability and Environmental Coverage
Many restoration firms assume they’re fully covered — until a claim proves otherwise. General liability policies often exclude: Pollution events Mold-related claims Contaminant spread Air and water quality issues This creates a critical gap in coverage.

Because urgency shouldn’t mean vulnerability.

How Cross-Contamination Can Lead to Major Insurance Claims
One of the biggest risks on a restoration job is what spreads — not what’s removed.

And most standard policies won’t respond to pollution-related spread. ARI Brokers helps restoration firms secure protection against the unintended consequences of their work. Containment matters — and so does covera
