Large Loss Claims Salt Lake City, Utah
Public Adjuster Utah
In Salt Lake City, Utah and the surrounding areas, there can unfortunately be a variety of losses occurring to homes and businesses. Although any type of property loss can happen, some of the most common losses to damage properties are weather-related damage such as wind and hail, fallen trees and non-weather related water damage.
Whether you are a residential or commercial property owner, you should have your property inspected once per year to check for wind and hail damage. Catching this damage before it creates bigger issues (think massive interior damage and mold) can be the difference of a minor loss to a major loss. Water loves to find its way inside and what better way to do that than by holes caused by hail strikes and flapping shingles caused by high wind speeds or gusts.
Another common loss is non-weather related water damage. This can be caused by frozen pipes, bursting valves and plumbing related issues. Water is a sneaky little sucker and can find its way into places you didn’t even know existed! Unfortunately, once one of these causes of loss occurs, it’s incredibly hard to stop it from spreading. Water damage claims are often major and can displace you from your home or business for an unprecedented amount of time.
Basic roof damage claims are typically quicker and easier to get our property owners back to normal. If you would rather be safe than sorry, we are happy to have one of our unbiased licensed adjusters inspect your roof for possible damage free of charge.

Fire Damage Salt Lake City
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.
