Hurricane Damage Claims
Hurricanes can combine extreme wind, wind-driven rain, roof damage, falling debris, power interruption, and water intrusion in one complicated loss. The claim may involve multiple damaged areas, different deductibles, emergency repairs, temporary housing, and disputes over whether water came from wind or flooding. Surplus Public Adjusters helps Florida property owners organize hurricane damage claims and pursue the coverage available under their policies.
Quick Answer: What Should You Do After a Hurricane?
Wait until officials say it is safe, then photograph and video the property before cleanup. Take reasonable steps to prevent additional damage, save damaged items when practical, keep receipts, and report the loss promptly. Do not accept a rushed settlement until the roof, exterior, interior, contents, and related expenses have been evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a public adjuster help before I file?
Yes. Early guidance can help preserve evidence, document the loss, review the policy, and reduce avoidable claim mistakes.
What if the insurer says the damage was flooding?
Wind and flood coverage are often handled differently. Surplus can help document the observed damage and organize evidence, but final coverage depends on the applicable policies and facts.
Can Surplus reopen or supplement a hurricane claim?
The team can review prior estimates, payments, denials, and deadlines to determine whether additional claim action may be available.
