Water can damage your roof in various ways, for example, through precipitation and plumbing. Even worse, it does not need to flow to be detrimental to your property. The air carries moisture in the water vapor form that gets to condense on the roof. In any case, letting sitting water stay unattended is among the most prevalent causes of a collapsed roofing system. Water damage calls for swift action and proper restoration measures. Four Elements Adjusters have the most suitable moisture detection technology and training for fully capturing the extent of damage in as short a time as possible. Above all, we take the stress off of your shoulders by handling the insurance process entirely and quickly, earning you the largest settlement for your claim.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WATER DAMAGE CLAIMS

Water claim vs. flood damage claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
The main difference between them is where the water originates from. Water damage is usually caused by internal disasters, for instance, plumbing accidents, and tends to occur to a single property. Should both you and your neighbor be experiencing water issues caused by rising waters, you are likely handling a flood claim. Meanwhile, if you are dealing with water on your property yet your neighbor does not suffer any problem, a water insurance claim may be what you are about to handle.

What percent of homeowner claims is water damage?
