Recent extreme weather has increased the flood risk for many areas. Whether the water damage to your home comes from a burst pipe, an overflowing river or a leaking roof, the correct management of the drying and repair process is essential.
In the past few years, flooding has highlighted the need to understand the effects flood damage has on buildings and contents. For example, the majority of the water flowing into homes is contaminated, requiring specialist cleaning and drying prior to remedial works. ICS are experts in presenting, handling and winning water damage claims. If you have a flood damage insurance claim that you require help with, please speak with one of our team.
How Does A Loss Assessor Help With A Flood Insurance Claim?
When making a flood insurance claim, the insurance company’s desire to return policyholders to their own homes quickly can cause long-term damage to the fabric of the property if it is not handled correctly. Another common flood damage insurance complaint is that contents which have been restored by insurers are not in the condition they were prior to the flood.
Many people struggle with how to make a flood claim on their insurance as they often have to do so while in the middle of dealing with a crisis. After handling water leaks and damaged property, making a flood damage insurance claim and dealing with insurance adjusters can seem very daunting. Let ICS take over the flood insurance claim process. We understand the intricacies of different flood cover plans and flood claims. We will contact your insurance company and file a professionally prepared flood claim for you.
Flood Claim Adjusters
It is essential to obtain the help of loss assessors who understand the problems that the escape of water can cause. As loss assessors, we work for you and strive to achieve the best settlement for your flood damage insurance claim. British insurers routinely appoint a loss adjuster, whose job is to attain a flood damage claim settlement in favour of the insurers. We have worked with several clients in Brighton, London & across the UK helping them get the result they want.
