Commercial water damage claims
Whether you operate an office, retail space, restaurant, hotel, or manufacturing facility, every business is susceptible to the perils of commercial water damage. Damages to a building or other commercial property caused by a water damage triggering event will present complex issues to a business owner and managers. The immediate effects is what many enterprises are not prepared and experienced to grasp. Immediate priorities of commercial water damage issues such as: damaged inventory & stock, machinery & equipment breakdown, water supply shut-offs, or even partial or full water damage to a commercial building property become imperative in addressing immediately.
Our experienced commercial claim public adjusters will properly address and identify underlying issues that yourself and insurance company may not understand. Many of these issues will be difficult to investigate and document once certain repairs are made to the property. However, other issues related to structure and non-cosmetic damages will remain until properly remedied. This is simply why it is encouraged to contact a commercial claim public adjuster at the early stages of your claim. Floridian International Adjusters can assist business owners & managers on new claims, underpaid claims, and even claims that have been denied coverage under the commercial insurance policy.
