Here's a checklist of what to do after a Flood

R

Safety First: The first step after a flood is to ensure the safety of yourself and your family. Avoid contact with floodwater as it may contain contaminants and pose health risks. If you must enter the flooded area, wear protective gear such as boots and gloves.

R

Document the Damage: Take photos and videos of all damages and make a list of items that have been damaged. This documentation will be crucial when filing an insurance claim.

R

Contact Your Insurance Company: Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the damage and begin the claims process. Follow their instructions for submitting the claim and keep all documentation and receipts for expenses related to the flood.

R

Mitigate Further Damage: Take immediate steps to prevent further damage to your property. This may include drying out affected areas, removing debris, or boarding up windows and doors to prevent looting.

R

Seek Professional Help: Contact a professional flood restoration company to help with the cleanup and repair process. They will have the expertise and equipment needed to properly restore your property.

R

Consider Hiring a Public Adjuster: A public adjuster can work on your behalf to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation from your insurance company. They can handle all negotiations with the insurance company and help you understand the claims process.

How It Works

At POA, we understand the stress and uncertainty that comes with fire damage. Our goal is to make the claims process as smooth and stress-free as possible, so you can get back to business as usual.

The first step in the process is to assess the extent of the damage caused by the flood. A public adjuster will visit the property and perform a thorough examination to determine the scope of the loss. They will take into account any structural damage, as well as damage to personal property, to create an accurate estimate of the cost to repair or replace the affected items.

i

documentation

After the damage assessment, the public adjuster will document all of the findings and create a comprehensive report that includes photos, videos, and a detailed description of the damage. This report will be used to support the insurance claim.

Negotiation

Once the documentation is complete, the public adjuster will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. They will use their expertise to advocate for a fair settlement that covers all of the damages that you have incurred. The public adjuster will work to ensure that the settlement is reached in a timely manner, so that you can get the repairs started and get your life back to normal.

Christian was highly recommended and has been there every step of the way during our recovery efforts from both Hurricane Helene and Milton. He was always accessible and dependable any time there were questions and/or concerns about the process. Without Christian Barrientos, and his entire team, we would be in a different place with these claims. I will recommend him to the person everyone going forward. Thank you for everything!
