Employees there will assist in registering the damage and decide in consultation with the owners when it will be possible to inspect and assess the damage.
When a home content is moved from Grindavík

Insurance during transport and at a new location

Once the transport of the contents is complete, the insurance company must be informed of the location of the contents to ensure that they are properly insured at the new location against any damage.
