When Weather Strikes

It’s been a tumultuous couple of hurricane seasons. The more recent Hurricane Michael has proved yet again how damaging weather can be to our lives and more specifically, our homes. This damage can cost tens of thousands in repairs. Among the items that see the worst damage are walls, drywall, flooring materials, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, building envelopes such as siding, windows, and more. 

This is why investigating and honing in on structural damage is so important. You wouldn’t want your home to cave in on you. In addition to structural tolls, you have to take into account the emotional toll a storm can take on you when your personal items are destroyed. Home is where the heart is and when a home is displaced, it can derail your life in a horrible way. 

This is when an experienced and qualified public adjuster should come into the picture to bring some stability and answers into your life during this confusing time. The adjuster should recognize how high your flood line is and create an organized presentation to show the insurance company. Adjusters are documentarians who photograph and take video of every piece of damage, down to the smallest cracks and imperfections. The layman, the civilian, lacks the keen eyes that the adjusters have for damage and might overlook crucial cracks that are hiding below the surface. 

A great place to start is to understand your base flood elevation. This is the elevation level in which your home has a 1% chance of flooding in a given year. The best way to understand your BFE is to examine flood maps. You want to get a flood elevation certificate and you can do so by contacting the local building department or a surveyor. 

But all of these things can be quite convoluted and meticulous, which is why we urge you to enlist a public adjuster to take care of the complicated parts, so you can focus on picking up the pieces of your life and restoring normalcy once again.
