Water Damage Claims
Water causes extensive damage to both structure
and personal property, many times occurring
without you even knowing it. In the beginning of
a claim the damages that are noticeable are
typically low in visibility. Meaning, the true
extent of the damages from water claims will
emerge once mitigation and drying has occurred.
Determining what is restorable and what is
non-recoverable is tricky without understanding
your options. Water claims typically have
multiple steps before an insured receives an
estimate and knows the total amount for repairs
mitigation, tear out, and put back. Water
damage, on its surface, can seem relatively easy
to mitigate. However, water can compromise many
surfaces especially dry wall, wood, carpet,
metal, and any textiles. Without prompt and
proper mitigation water can lead to mold which
can spread and ravage any surface. Water can
also leave behind markings and stains that
werent there before in addition to swelling and
expansion of materials. Proper mitigation and
evaluation of the damages are essential to
navigate any water claim. While public
insurance adjuster are not contractors and cannot
conduct mitigation or repairs we can guide you
through the process of handling the many steps
of a water claim.
