Questions About Storm Damage Claims
What should I do after storm damage?
Put safety first, photograph conditions from a safe location, take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, save receipts, and follow the policy's notice requirements.
Can a public adjuster help with wind damage?
Yes. A public adjuster may document visible wind effects, organize exterior and interior repair information, and present the claim to the carrier.
What if a tree damages my property?
Photograph the impact and affected building areas before removal when safe and practical. Keep tree-removal and temporary-protection records for claim review.
Can storm-related interior water damage be part of the claim?
It may be relevant when connected to covered storm damage, but the cause and policy language determine coverage.
Should I photograph the property before temporary repairs?
Yes, when it can be done safely. Do not delay necessary steps to prevent further damage solely to take photographs.
Can you review an existing storm claim?
Yes. Existing estimates, photographs, temporary-repair invoices, and carrier correspondence can be reviewed together.
Do you handle commercial storm claims?
Yes. Storm-loss documentation may cover commercial roofs, exterior systems, interiors, tenant areas, and business property.
