Water damage is one of the most common type of insurance claim submitted, with millions of Americans each year dealing with the damage caused by Mother Nature, flooding, leaky roofs and structures, and plumbing systems that just don’t work the way they were designed to.
Responsible for some of the most expensive insurance claims as well, these are the kinds of claims that insurance companies love to take their time with. They want to make sure they don’t spend a single penny more on a claim than necessary, always looking for loopholes and ways to weasel out of the agreement that they have made with their customers.
Making things worse is the fact that the longer these insurance companies wait to payout a claim, the longer the water damage sits – and very often, the worse it gets.
This makes the problem even more destructive, even more of a headache, and even more expensive.
Thankfully, with the help of a professional public insurance adjuster like ours, you’ll be able to avoid almost all of the problems we highlighted above. On top of that, you won’t have to worry about your insurance company playing hardball with you or trying to get you to take even a penny less than you deserve as part of your claim.
Tips for improving your odds of a successful water damage insurance claim/settlement
The very nature of a water damage insurance claim makes the full scope of damages difficult to realize, which means this process often ends with you receiving far less than you deserve when it comes to the claim and settlement.
It’s important that you do everything you can to move this process along at a decent clip while still protecting yourself and getting every penny you deserve.
Your public insurance adjusters is going to help you:
Get a certified copy of the insurance contract you signed when you took advantage of a policy from your insurance company. This will give you detailed information about the nature of your coverage and will help the adjuster better understand how to interpret policy language to get you the most money possible.
Record and document all of the damage, usually with pictures and video clips, for evidence moving forward
Get the ball rolling when it comes time to mitigate the water damage itself without completely resolving the problem until you get your full settlement.
Get secondary estimates for the work that needs to be done so that your insurance company never gets away with lowballing you
…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
