Get the Money You Deserve for Your Sinkhole Damage
What is a sinkhole damage claim?
A Sinkhole Damage Claim is an insurance claim filed if your property has been damaged as a result of sinkhole activity. This can include damage to:
- Foundations
- Driveways
- Pool Decks
- Septic Tanks
- Structures
- Landscaping on or around the property
Typically, coverage for these claims comes from homeowners insurance policies that have added an endorsement to cover sinkhole-related loss or through a specialized insurance policy purchased by the homeowner. To determine if your policy covers sinkhole damage in your area, it is important to speak with your insurance representative directly. If you feel that there’s been damage, it’s important to contact a licensed public adjuster right away, so they can help prepare your sinkhole damage claim and get you the money you deserve.
What is the process for filing a sinkhole damage claim?
Filing a sinkhole damage claim with a public adjuster is an important step to take if the extent of your sinkhole damage is extensive enough to warrant such action. The process for filing the claim typically begins with a detailed inspection and assessment of the damage done by the sinkhole before the public adjuster determines their estimated estimate of damages. After this has been established, they will draft and submit a written report on their investigation.
Depending on the situation, photos, videos, and written documentation may be included in this report as well. Following that, multiple meetings with insurance companies are usually required in order to negotiate a fair settlement for the damaged property or injury caused by the sinkhole. This can be an extensive process so enlisting help from a trusted public adjuster can ensure an accurate evaluation, fair compensation and prompt resolution.
What are the warning signs of sinkhole damage?
Homeowners should familiarize themselves with the warning signs of sinkhole damage to ensure their homes and property are safe. Warning signs may include:
- Cracks in foundation walls and sidewalks
- Windows or doors which do not close properly
- Large trees on the property suddenly leaning or dead
- Walls or floors which are bulging, separating, sagging, or cracking
- Cracks in interior walls and floors of various widths and lengths
- Sticking doors and windows
- Doors that appear misaligned as they open and close.
If homeowners detect any of these discrepancies in their home they should contact an experienced professional immediately to diagnose and address the issue.
