Roof Leak Insurance Claim Handling

Helping South Florida Residents With Their Roof Damage Claim

Does your homeowners' insurance cover roof leaks? Year-round summer sunshine in South Florida might keep roofs drier than in other parts of the country. However, wind, a higher air salt content, and greater than average UV exposure, can leave Florida roofs more susceptible to leaks than elsewhere.

Sadly, settling insurance claims for roof leaks in South Florida isn’t as straightforward as you might think.

As South Florida’s best public adjusters, we see it every day. Homeowners try to file claims for roof leaks. However, in many cases, leaks aren’t covered by insurers. At least not unless leaks are the result of severe storm damage

What is a Roof Leak Insurance Claim?

Roof leaks occur for several reasons. Storms and high winds can rip away roof shingles, and compromise roof flashing and underlays. As roofs age, they also become more suceptible to leaks. This is even the case if you invest in regular roof maintenance.

Many South Florida insurers do not cover the cost of roof leak repairs when damage is not caused by storms. However, settling insurance claims for associated water damage to your home is often possible.

In every case, homeowners need to repair roof leaks quickly. When this isn’t the case, leaks can worsen and cause a host of secondary problems. These can range from everything from fire hazards (caused by water reaching home wiring) to toxic mold outbreaks.

What Happens When You Hire a Roof Damage Public Adjuster?

At Fast Public Adjusters, we strive to help you recoup the cost of roof leak repairs, as well as the cost of repairs to interior home areas affected by leaks.

In every case, we start by going over the details of your current home insurance policy. This allows us to identify what conditions will be necessary for any claim to be successful.

After going over your current insurance policy, we dispatch a team of adjusters to visit your property and assess the scope of any damage you plan to claim for.
If your roof is still in need of repairs, we will connect you with local roofing contractor accordingly.
Most insurers will want to see proof that you took reasonable steps to prevent roof leaks before they agree to settle. This being the case, we will look at any maintenance records you have and your past claim history.
If you have filed claims with insurers previously, we validate whether or not you received a settlement that was fair and enough to cover the cost of past repair work.
Our adjusters use all evidence gathered to file claims with insurers that will cover the cost of current repairs, and force insurers to honor the terms and conditions of your current policy.
After insurers receive our demand sum, we begin the process of negotiating your settlement.
