Water/Flood Damage Claims
Water and flood damage claims are often complex and time-sensitive. Whether from storms, burst pipes, or flooding, water can affect structures, systems, and belongings. Quick documentation, policy review, and insurer notification are key. Since standard insurance usually excludes floods, separate coverage is essential in high-risk areas. A trusted adjuster can help streamline the claims process.
Our Process
Your Step-by-Step Guide to Water/Flood Damage Claims

Prioritize Safety
Before you start documenting damage, ensure that your home is safe. Turn off electricity and gas if there’s flooding, and avoid entering areas with standing water to prevent electrical hazards or further injury.

Document The Damage
Take detailed photos and videos of the flood or water damage. Capture the full extent of the damage, from structural issues to ruined personal property. Don’t discard damaged items until your insurer has seen them — this will be crucial to support your claim.

Review Your Insurance Policy
Check your homeowner’s insurance policy to determine if water or flood damage is covered. Standard policies often don’t include flood damage, so if you live in a flood-prone area, you may need separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

Report the Damage Immediately
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Most offer 24/7 reporting online or by phone. Have your policy number and a clear description of the damage ready.

Mitigate Additional Damage
Take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, such as covering broken windows, using tarps for leaks, or removing standing water if it’s safe. Keep records of any temporary repairs or purchases, as these may be reimbursable under your policy.

Schedule an Inspection
Your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess the damage. Be sure to be present during this inspection, and share any documentation, photos, or videos you’ve collected. The adjuster will use this information to estimate repair costs and determine the payout.

FAQ
A Public Adjuster represents the interest of the insurance policyholder against their insurance company. Public Adjusters are experts in the preparation, presentation, and negotiation of insurance claims in order to maximize and expedite the policyholder's claim. A Public adjuster works solely for you, the insured, and no one else, making the claim process seem much more simplistic.
After a loss occurs, the insurance policy requires you, the policyholder, to put together a claim of all related damages and negotiate those damages with the insurance company's adjuster. The adjusters from the insurance company are both experts at policy interpretation and loss assessment. very few people have the knowledge or background to prepare, present and negotiate claims against these adjusters. As a Public Adjuster, we have both the skill and background in assessing losses, reviewing and interpreting your policy, and negotiating for you, the insured, with the insurance company adjusters to reach the most favorable
While insurance agents are experts on coverage, in most cases they are not trained to appraise and assign value to property damage. Public adjusters have the necessary education and knowledge to review claims and assign an appropriate value for damage repair.
As a licensed public adjuster, it is our responsibility to get you the settlement you need to rebuild. We review the property damage and calculate the costs of rebuilding and repairing.
Insurance carriers vary with their stance on claims and rate hikes. There is a chance your premium will go up.
It is not likely, but every insurance company is different. If they decide to cancel coverage, you will receive a notice in advance.
