Water Damage Insurance Claims
Water damage is the most common and most under-compensated property insurance claim in the United States. Whether from burst pipes, appliance failures...
About Water Damage Claims
Water damage spreads fast. Within 24 hours, it can penetrate flooring, walls, and structural supports. Within 48–72 hours, mold begins to grow. Insurance companies know this — and they frequently offer low settlements that do not account for the full scope of remediation, repairs, and secondary damage.
Our public adjusters are trained to identify all categories of water damage: primary damage to surfaces, secondary damage from moisture migration, and tertiary damage from mold or structural weakening. We document everything and build a claim that reflects the true cost of making your property whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of water damage are covered by insurance?
Sudden and accidental water damage (burst pipes, appliance failures) is typically covered. Flooding from external sources requires separate flood insurance. We review your policy to identify all applicable coverage.
How do I know if I have hidden water damage?
Signs include musty odors, discoloration, soft spots in floors or walls, and higher-than-usual water bills. Our team uses professional moisture meters and thermal imaging to find water damage you cannot see.
