What To Do After Water Damage
Water damage can quickly spread throughout a property, affecting walls, flooring, ceilings, electrical systems, and personal belongings. After a water damage incident, property owners must act quickly to protect their property and begin the insurance claim process.
Insurance companies send their own adjusters to inspect the damage, but their role is to represent the insurance company. A public adjuster works on behalf of the policyholder to ensure the full extent of the damage is properly documented and included in the claim.
At Adjust Up Claims, our public adjusters assist property owners by:
- Inspecting and documenting water damage
- Identifying hidden moisture and structural damage
- Preparing detailed repair estimates
- Reviewing insurance policy coverage
- Negotiating with insurance companies for fair settlements
Our goal is to help policyholders recover the maximum compensation allowed under their insurance policy.
Common Causes of Water Damage
Water damage can occur from many different sources. Insurance policies may cover certain types of sudden water damage, but the damage must be properly documented and evaluated.
Common causes of water damage include:
- Burst or leaking pipes
- Plumbing system failures
- Appliance malfunctions such as washing machines or water heaters
- Roof leaks
- HVAC system leaks
- Overflowing sinks or bathtubs
- Storm or hurricane related water intrusion
Each of these causes may require different documentation when submitting an insurance claim.
A public adjuster helps ensure that the cause of the damage is properly identified and that all resulting damage is included in the claim.
Types of Water Damage That May Be Covered
Water damage insurance claims often involve multiple areas of the property. Even small leaks can cause significant structural damage over time.
Types of water damage that may be included in an insurance claim include:
- Damage to walls and ceilings
- Flooring and carpet damage
- Structural framing damage
- Electrical system damage
- Cabinet and appliance damage
- Personal property losses
- Mold growth caused by water damage
Hidden moisture behind walls or under flooring is one of the most common issues overlooked during initial inspections.
A public adjuster ensures that all areas of damage are properly evaluated and documented
