Wind Damage Loss Recovery
At Sabel Adjusters, we have the know-how to help you in the aftermath of damage from a windstorm, hurricane, or tornado. From documenting to preparing to settling your wind damage claim, our experts will help every step of the way.
Hurricanes, windstorms, and tornadoes have the potential to cause extensive damage and wreckage for homes and businesses alike. When wind damage occurs, the adjustment process for such events can be highly complex and the insurance language is often ambiguous. The main priorities following a wind-related disaster are protecting your property, getting your business or home back to normal, and ensuring that you get adequate financial compensation for the recovery process.
An average of 1,000 tornadoes strike the United States each year, and an average of six annual hurricanes are formed, with about 26 percent actually making landfall in the US. Hurricanes cause about $3 billion in damage every time they touch the ground, and the recovery process for such an event can be wide-ranging and, in many cases, sluggish and drawn out.
After a hurricane, windstorm, or tornado, it’s important that a thorough investigation be conducted to determine and document the extent of the damage. This process is essential, as only following an investigation can a detailed estimate of the repair and replacement costs be generated. After a wind-related event, it’s also important that steps be taken to mitigate further damage to your property. In the aftermath of a tornado, never use gasoline, propane, natural gas, or charcoal-burning devices inside your home until the area has been thoroughly inspected for hazards, and be sure to clean up spilled flammable liquids or other potentially hazardous materials as soon as possible to minimize the potential for further damage to occur.
Following a wind damage event, you should also be sure to make a list of damaged items, keeping them as evidence for the insurance company, and take note of any lost items as well. You should also consider taking photographs or videos to substantiate your claim. Be sure to keep receipts for additional expenses incurred, as these may also be covered by your insurance.
How your wind claim is handled can make a huge difference in the success of your restoration. For example, if you need roof replacement, you’ll want funds to begin the project right away. It’s not always easy to get the money you deserve when filing a storm damage claim, but with Sabel Adjusters, you can be sure you’ll get the maximum payout for minimum hassle.
