As hurricane season approaches, community associations and businesses in coastal regions brace themselves for potential devastation. With the threat of powerful storms looming, it becomes increasingly crucial to prepare for the worst-case scenarios. One vital component of preparation often overlooked is securing the services of a public adjuster. These professionals play a pivotal role in helping individuals and businesses navigate the complex waters of insurance claims in the aftermath of natural disasters like hurricanes. Let’s delve into why having a public adjuster is essential not only during hurricane season but year-round.
A public adjuster is a licensed professional who works on behalf of policyholders to evaluate, negotiate, and settle insurance claims. Unlike insurance company adjusters who represent the interests of the insurer, public adjusters advocate for the policyholder’s rights to ensure they receive fair and adequate compensation for their losses.
Why would you need a public adjuster during hurricane season? Public adjusters provide many things like expertise in insurance claims, maximizing your claims settlement, documenting evidence, and timely resolutions.
While the focus on public adjusters intensifies during hurricane season, our services are invaluable throughout the year for various reasons:
In conclusion, the importance of a public adjuster cannot be overstated, especially during hurricane season and in the aftermath of natural disasters. Their expertise, advocacy, and commitment to securing fair compensation for policyholders are invaluable assets in the journey towards recovery and rebuilding. By enlisting the services of a public adjuster, homeowners, associations and businesses can navigate the stormy waters of insurance claims with confidence and peace of mind.
By following these six steps, you can help protect your home from water damage and mold caused by leaking windows, often exasperated during major storms.
We’ve all experienced downpours in South Florida with 30 to 40 MPH winds, and the damages can be annoying and expensive. This wind driven rain finds it’s way through cracks in caulking on windows and the exteriors of buildings. The damages from leaking windows can be expensive and unfortunately, not covered by insurance:
Walking and inspecting the property at least once per year will help to eliminate mold issues in the future. If you think this has happened to you, make sure to call Servpro of East Davie / Cooper City at 954-725-6400.
When Should You Water Your Lawn?
The best time for lawn irrigation is in the early morning hours. Watering during the day wastes water to excessive evaporation. Watering in late afternoon or late morning may be detrimental if it extends the time the lawn is naturally wet from dew. This extended “dew period” can accelerate disease and pest occurrences.
How much water does your St. Augustine Grass Need?
As a general rule of thumb your lawn should receive 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week (Including irrigation and rain). Oftentimes residents leave irrigation on automatic regardless of rainfall which leads to fungus, pests and disease. If we receive more than 1.5 inches of rain in a week manually turn your irrigation off if you have established grass and plants and hand water any new plant material.
