Consolidated Debris Removal Program: Step 1 to Opt-In or Opt-Out

Step 1: Determine your insurance company’s specific coverage available for ‘debris removal’ from your property.  This varies greatly from insurance company to company, but can be a flat % of the total replacement value of your home ranging from roughly 5% and up.  Some homeowners have more than enough coverage while others have far too little (a rough estimate on testing, clean-up and disposal is $20,000 on the low end and $50,000 on the high end).  If you had no insurance on your home, then Guzi-West recommends you “opt-in” to Shasta County’s Consolidated Debris Removal Program, as the program will cover costs from testing to debris removal.  You should be prepared to be patient if you choose to opt-in and allow the government agencies to complete their work.
