Water & Pipe Burst Damage Claims

Water damage can be one of the most destructive and expensive types of property damage. From burst pipes to appliance failures, water damage often leads to extensive secondary damage including mold growth. Our expert public adjusters use advanced technology to detect all water damage and ensure you receive full compensation.

Advanced Water Damage Detection & Assessment

Water damage claims require immediate attention and expert assessment. What appears to be minor water damage on the surface can involve extensive hidden damage behind walls, under flooring, and throughout your property's structure.

Our public adjusters use state-of-the-art technology including thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and infrared detection to identify all water damage, including areas that insurance company adjusters typically miss.

Why Water Damage Claims Are Often Underpaid

Insurance companies use various tactics to minimize water damage settlements.

Surface-Level Inspections

Insurance adjusters often only assess visible damage, missing extensive hidden damage behind walls and under flooring.

Gradual vs. Sudden Damage

Companies often claim sudden water damage was actually gradual to avoid coverage, even when evidence shows otherwise.

Inadequate Drying Estimates

Insurance companies often underestimate the time and equipment needed for proper drying and restoration in Florida's humid climate.
