Homeowners: Send a Sample to ITEL for Your Insurance Claim

Homeowners: Send a Sample to ITEL at Your Adjuster's Request

The ITEL analysis requested by your insurance carrier will help you and your adjuster find a fair settlement with our independent and unbiased analysis. Collecting a flooring or siding sample is easy, and results will be returned to your adjuster the next business day after we receive your sample.

Test and Shipping Fee

As your adjuster has requested that you send the sample as part of the insurance claim, you do not need to send payment for the analysis or sample shipping.

If your adjuster has not specifically requested that you send in the sample to help settle an insurance claim, please click this link for alternate collection and payment instructions.

Vendors, contractors, and adjusters should click here to send a sample to ITEL.
