Roof Leak and Flood Claims
IS YOUR ROOF LEAKING?
DO YOU HAVE FLOOD WATER DAMAGE?
A leaking roof can result in more serious damage to your home than you may realize. The damage often goes far beyond ruined carpet and water stains. We know that roof leak claims are a long ordeal, and that your insurance carrier may try to delay or reduce payments. Betterway Claim Adjusters, LLC is here to help ensure your property is fully restored and you receive the maximum recovery for your roof leak claim.
Roof leaks and flash floods are a particular risk in the state of Florida. Our climate has a long rainy season, with above-average heat, humidity and precipitation. If you have a defective roof or live in a low-lying area, rain intrusion and weather-related flooding will lead to major Structural, Electrical, and Mold damage.
Water Intrusion To Your Home Causes Major Damage
Structural Damage
Standing water and even slight moisture accumulation can lead to rapid degradation of walls, ceilings, and flooring.
Wet ceilings often collapse due to the weight of damp insulation, and can further damage anything below.
Left unmitigated, a property can rapidly lose value, risk collapse, and become inhabitable.
Electrical Damage
Interior wiring and electronics in your home are particularly susceptible to liquid damage.
Electronics such as computers, tablets, and phones can be easily destroyed.
Interior wiring can corrode, short, or catch fire. Rusted conduit can allow additional moisture, insects, and even rodents.
Coastal areas are especially at risk for electrical corrosion in both wires and conduits.
Mold Damage
Florida is THE IDEAL CLIMATE FOR MOLD to grow. It takes 24 to 48 hours for mold to germinate and grow!
Mold growth is not just unsightly. Mold spores can become airborne and cause severe respiratory and related health issues.
It is important ACT FAST and prevent the damage from spreading.

ROOF LEAK AND FLOOD DAMAGE CLAIMS
It’s important to fix roof leaks as soon as reasonably possible. In addition to the above-mentioned issues, your defective roof will likely increase your utility bills if water gets into your home’s fiberglass or cellulose insulation and keeps it from functioning properly. That’s why filing an insurance claim promptly is so important. In some cases, however, the insurance company will attempt to deny the claim or pay less than the full amount you are owed.
