## What is Home Claim Kit?

Home Claim Kit guides homeowners through the three moments that decide an insurance claim: before the storm, right after the damage, and during the claim itself.

BEFORE THE STORM
Capture a pre-storm baseline in about twenty minutes: all four sides of the house, the roof from the ground, gutters, windows, the outdoor unit, your declarations page, and every room you choose. Timestamped and GPS-tagged, so "pre-existing damage" is never a guess.

AFTER THE DAMAGE
Step-by-step checklists tell you exactly what to photograph and why:
• Water: burst pipe, appliance failure, storm intrusion, sewer backup, flood
• Winter: frozen and burst pipes, with the thermostat and weather shots insurers ask for
• Wind and storm: roof, hail, siding, fallen trees
• Fire and smoke
Add rooms after a loss and each photo shows its "before" from your baseline so you can match the angle.

DURING THE CLAIM
A claim diary keeps every call, every adjuster, every receipt, and every deadline in one dated log. Log who you spoke with and what they said. Photograph receipts for tarps, fans, and hotels. Deadlines show days remaining.

WHAT YOU EXPORT
• Evidence report PDF with every photo, timestamp, GPS, notes, before/after pairs, and the claim diary
• Evidence bundle ZIP with the original, unaltered photo and audio files plus machine-readable metadata
• Claim diary PDF on its own

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No cloud. Everything stays on your device until you choose to share it. No AI editing your photos; insurers increasingly reject altered images.

BUILT FOR BAD DAYS
Big buttons for wet hands, voice notes when typing is hard, and it works with no cell service.

Home Claim Kit is free and supported by ads shown outside the capture flow. It provides documentation assistance only; it is not insurance, legal, or public-adjusting advice. Deadlines in the app are editable estimates. Always check your policy.
