Flood Damage

Flooding in Florida: A Common Problem
If you live or work in Florida, the hurricane capital of the world, you are no stranger to strong winds and rain. An unfortunate side effect of this extreme weather is flooding, which can result in considerable damage to your home or business.  
 
The Damage Floods Cause
Flooding can cause considerable problems. While water seems harmless, large amounts of it in the wrong place can prove incredibly damaging. Your personal and business property can be ruined and the totality of the structure can be compromised.
 
Water from flooding is dangerous and destructive. If left untreated, the water can even result in mold issues which can impact both your property and your health.
 
Flood Insurance Claims Are Challenging
As you would expect, there are a significant number of flood insurance claims filed in Florida each year – more when storms are severe. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to get your insurance company to first acknowledge the claim is reimbursable, and second, to provide you with an appropriate settlement.  Each insurance claim paid negatively impacts the insurance company’s profitability, so it is not surprising they deny and underpay many claims each year.

The key to achieving a reasonable settlement is working with an experienced public adjuster. These professionals can leverage their insurance and construction experience to help identify and document your damage – two critical steps in getting you the settlement you need to return your property to the condition it was prior to the flood.
 
Firehouse Adjusters Can Help
Handling your flood claim on your own can be very difficult. Most homeowners lack the specific knowledge and experience required to manage the process appropriately.
 
Flood damage can include property loss, construction and repair bills, mold and bacteria remediation, as well as other costs. While issues from flooding are considerable, oftentimes much of the damage is not visible to the naked eye. When a claim is filed homeowners are given only one opportunity to identify the totality of the damages sustained to the property. Our professionals employ infrared cameras, moisture detectors, and hydrometers to accurately identify all problems caused by flooding.
 
Documenting the full extent of the damages is key to obtaining an insurance payment that is sufficient to cover the cost of your loss. We understand the different types of insurance coverage and will work tirelessly on your behalf to get you the best coverage available under your policy. We provide our clients with a free damage inspection after flooding. During this process, we carefully perform a complete review to examine the inside and outside of your property.  Our years of experience give us insight into where and what to look for in flood-damaged properties.
