Water Damage 

At EC Claims, we specialize in handling a variety of water damage claims, including but not limited to:

  • Pipe burst (major issue for Texas and other southern states over the last few years.)

  • Dishwasher leaks

  • Roof leaks

  • Toilet overflow

  • Sewage backup

  • Flooding (Generally Hurricane related. We work with FEMA adjusters to accurately calculate claim cost.)

We utilize a variety of experts in the fields of construction, remediation, and mitigation to identify and produce the best possible settlement for your claims.

Hail/Wind Damage

Common pitfalls that can keep a hail or wind damage claim from paying properly include:

  • Failing to document all damage: It's important to take photos and videos of all damage, no matter how small, in order to ensure that it's properly documented.

  • Waiting too long to file a claim: Many insurance policies have strict deadlines for filing claims, so it's important to act quickly.

  • Not understanding your policy: It's important to read and understand your insurance policy so that you know what is covered and what is not.

  • Not hiring a public adjuster: A public adjuster can help you navigate the claims process and ensure that you get the settlement you deserve.

  • The right most video on our front page shows our investigation into a hail and wind claim, where roof tile was broken and sent flying into the flat roof, penetrating and producing a hole for water to enter. These videos resulted in a million dollar settlement for the insured.

Hurricane

When filing a hurricane damage claim, it's important to act quickly and understand your insurance policy. Policies may have specific language or requirements for hurricane-related claims, such as a higher deductible or a specific timeframe for filing. To ensure that all damage is properly documented, it's important to take photos and videos of everything, no matter how small. Waiting too long to file a claim can result in a denial, as many policies have strict deadlines. Common pitfalls that can hold back a hurricane claim from being paid properly include not understanding your policy, failing to document all damage, and not hiring a public adjuster to help navigate the claims process. With EC Claims, our team has the expertise and tools necessary to help you get the settlement you deserve for your hurricane damage claim. 

Fire Damage

When navigating a fire claim, there are several tools that may be necessary to properly assess damage and reach a proper settlement. These may include:

  • Moisture meters: These tools can help identify areas of the structure that have been affected by water damage as a result of firefighting efforts.

  • Thermal imaging: This technology can be used to identify areas of the structure that have been affected by heat and smoke.

  • Contents specialist: Your personal or business items will likely be covered in soot and need cleaning if not out right replacement.

  • Most Importantly, Contractors: These professionals are essential to getting your property back to a usable condition and preparing a proper scope of work to present to the insurance carrier.
