Common Emergencies for Homes and Businesses

The two most common emergency situations that property owners face are fire and water damage. Both can be devastating. In each case, the claims process for filing the insurance claim can be extremely complicated. It is important to contact a public adjuster as soon as possible after the incident so that they can document the damage and start the claims process correctly. Fortunately, First Response Public Adjusting is available around the clock.

Fire and Smoke Damage

Fire and smoke can be severely damaging to your home and business. Smoke damage in particular can be problematic for the following reasons:

  • Corrosiveness: Smoke contains corrosive particles that can damage or corrode surfaces such as walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. The longer the smoke lingers, the more damage it can cause.

  • Lingering Odor: Smoke leaves behind a strong, unpleasant odor that can be difficult to remove. The odor can penetrate porous materials such as carpets, curtains, and upholstery, making it difficult to get rid of even with extensive cleaning.

  • Soot Buildup: Smoke can leave behind a layer of soot that can be difficult to clean. Soot can stain surfaces, fabrics, and walls, and can be difficult to remove without professional cleaning.

Smoke can be quite difficult and expensive to clean so it is important to address it quickly and thoroughly to minimize the damage. Fortunately, First Response Public Adjusting is available 24/7 to get the process started and getting your home back to livable condition.

Water Damage

Water damage can occur for a number of reasons and can be harmful to the structural integrity of your home. The experts at First Response Public Adjusting most typically see insurance claims filed for the following reasons:

  • Plumbing issues: One of the most common causes of water damage is plumbing problems, such as burst pipes, leaky faucets, or a malfunctioning water heater.

  • Roof leaks: A damaged or leaky roof can allow water to seep into the home, leading to water damage and potential mold growth.

  • Appliance failures: Appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators can leak or malfunction, leading to water damage.

  • Human error: Accidents such as leaving a bathtub or sink faucet running or overflowing can also cause significant water damage.

All of these are typically covered in most insurance policies. In order to maximize the claim you receive from the insurance company, it is best to contact a public adjuster, no matter the time of day.
