    Contact a loss adjuster to do it for you. You will be better off in the long run.

    you need to confirm everything with your insurance company first
    what will be ok,is any work done to prevent further damage
    contact your insurance company on their emergency line,if they have one

    insurance companies should pay for the damage caused by the leaks, carpets, electrical equipment, ceilings etc. but wont pay the charge for the plumber fixing the burst pipe as they see that as wear and tear.
