Fire Damage Claims Adjusters

How long does it take to settle a fire loss claim?

Depending on the severity of the fire damage, and the workload of the insurance
company (wide-spread natural disasters such as wildfires or hurricanes will slow down
the process), it could take anywhere from 2-12 months to get you back in your home.
We realize that range could be heartbreaking, but rest assured that our number one
goal as a Public Adjusting company is to complete claims as quickly and efficiently as
possible to ensure you and your family (or business) is displaced for as little amount of
time as possible.

Water Loss

Water losses are typically sudden and accidental and can be detrimental to your home or business. Urgency is of the utmost importance after these types of losses because damage can unknowingly spread quickly. Please contact a professional to assess your damages as soon as possible to make sure that even your hidden damage gets covered under your policy.

PPA assists with all types of large loss claims including fire, water, mold, wind, hail, asbestos, vandalism, casualty (crime-scene clean-up), etc.
