Insurance reinstatement is the process of restoring a property after it's been damaged by an insured event. This could include escape of water, fire, impact damage, storms or other incidents covered by an insurance policy.

Unlike a standard renovation, reinstatement requires careful coordination between homeowners, insurers, loss adjusters and contractors.
