Palm Beach Gardens is located in a part of South Florida that gets hit by many storms and hurricanes.

When home damage occurs many homeowners are faced with choosing between calling their insurance agent or calling a Palm Beach Gardens public adjuster.  To determine which is a better solution, a homeowner should consider several factors.  One of those factors is the extent of the home damage.  A small roof leak or a broken plumbing pipe that is caught quickly could easily remedied with a simple repair.  In this case the cost of the repair could be less than your insurance deductible so hiring a public adjuster may not make sense.

When should you call a public adjuster in Palm Beach Gardens or any place in South Florida?

Some types of home damage absolutely require the help of a public adjuster.  My advise is calling a public adjuster is always a good idea.  When you consider the fact that most public adjusters do not charge for a home inspection, I don’t understand why a homeowner would not call a public adjuster.

If a homeowner calls a public adjuster, and the public adjuster doesn’t see the need to file an insurance claim they will certainly let the homeowner know.  On the other hand, a roof leak, left unchecked could result in a huge mold issue. We have seen this happen again and again.  A home sustains a small roof leak as a result of a hurricane or storm.   Slowly rainwater seeps into the homes attic through the compromised roof.  Because the leak is so small, the homeowner doesn’t realize there is a leak.  Over time the insulation in the attic soaks up the water keeping the moisture trapped in the ceiling.  After a while mold starts to grow.  It only take 24 to 48 hours for mold to start growing.  

A small leak that is unnoticed can easily become a huge problem.

Once a roof leak turns into a mold issue, the story changes.  Most of calls we receive are from homeowners who have had their insurance claims denied as a result of undiscovered mold.   These insurance claims are denied because the insurance company adjuster over looked the water damage, which resulted from the initial roof leak.   Without home construction knowledge many typical insurance adjusters, fail to catch all the home damage. This is because a roof leak in one part of the home could result in rainwater traveling to other parts of a home.  Read: When call a public adjuster first here you will learn how rainwater travels through your home.

If you see brown spots or discoloration on your walls or ceiling, calling a public adjuster is the smartest decision any homeowner can make.  Keep in mind a public adjuster works for the homeowner and not for the insurance company.  As a homeowner wouldn’t you feel better knowing that the adjuster who is handling your claim works for you and not for the insurance company?

Tricks insurance companies play to save money, and how a Palm Beach Gardens Public Adjuster could stop these tricks.

Recently insurance companies developed a new trick to save themselves money.  The latest trick is too offer a lower insurance fee is the homeowner chooses to enroll in a premium service program.  This special money saving program may have several different names based on the insurance company.  However, even though the name is different, the program is the same.  Often the program states that the homeowner is obligated to use the insurance company service provides for any home damage they may be faced with.  Since the service provider is a hired or preferred provider of the insurance company, there is usually a deal or a contract between the insurance company and the repair company.  The agreement sometimes gives a cap on the amount the repair company is allowed to charge for services.    If course this saves to insurance company money and the homeowner may or may not receive a quality repair.  For the homeowner, entering into a preferred service agreement may sound great, especially when the cost of the premium is discounted.  However, once there is a problem the savings could quickly evaporate.

Another trick insurance companies play is to deny a claim by either a formal denial or by giving the homeowner a friendly verbal denial.  In a verbal denial the insurance adjuster simply tells the homeowner the repair cost is going to be less than the cost if the deductible, or they telling the homeowner the claim is not valid.  Example, you roof is too old, we won’t cover an old roof.  When this has happened it usually only takes one call to a public adjuster the have the claim move forward.
