I’m Using a Public Adjuster for a water leak in my kitchen.

Do I need a public adjuster for a water leak in my kitchen?

When a kitchen is damaged due to a water leak, you might want to hire a public adjuster to help you with your claim against your insurance company. A public adjuster will handle your claim from start to finish, even including the negotiations with your insurance company to get more money from them. However, whether or not you hire a public adjuster to work on your kitchen water damage claim will depend on the value of your claim.

In general, kitchen water leaks can take from a few days to several months to fix depending on the extent of the damage and other factors. In that case, hiring a public adjuster is highly recommended.

So, do I need a public adjuster for kitchen water damage?

It’s always good to get advice from professionals like public adjusters even when you think your claim is relatively small. This is because public adjusters are experienced in sizing up these types of claims very quickly, by just having a look. If in fact, you have more damage than you initially thought, many people opt to hire a public adjuster to represent them. This is especially true when the damages are very extensive or have an amount that seems too high to handle on your own. When kitchen water damage is minor and can be fixed in a short time with little money, hiring a public adjuster might not be necessary. But, again, don’t assume anything unless you have experience in the field of estimating kitchen damage based on material and labor cost. You will need the opinion of a public adjuster. He is on your side and will not minimize or diminish the value of your claim.

What other kinds of water damage are covered by insurance?

Damage does not have to occur in the kitchen to be covered by insurance. Water damage can happen anywhere in your home or business. Many times you will need an experienced public adjuster on your side to make every effort to receive the best settlement possible. If there is water leaking into other rooms besides the kitchen, yes you will have coverage, and you may want to consider having a public adjuster on your side because the public adjuster will make sure to cover all the additional areas of damage, and this will mean the insurance company is responsible for these additional costs. This will mean more money in your pocket.

The following is a shortlist of types of water damage covered by insurance:

  1. Damage to floors.
  2. Damage to cabinets.
  3. Damage to drywall.
  4. Damage to insulation.
  5. Damage to paint.
  6. Damage to appliances.
  7. Damage to furniture and personal items.
  8. Damage caused by a leaky roof.
  9. Moreover, any of these types of damage may lead to mold, which will add another layer to your claim.

Will insurance cover HIDDEN water damage to your kitchen or anywhere else?

Water leaks are very common, but what if you have damage that is hidden, and you cannot see the damage? Yes, you MIGHT still have coverage for it! If you cannot see the damage, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is not present. If this is the case and you are not sure, you would be advised to call Florida Allstar Public Adjusting for a FREE inspection and evaluation of your property at 954.659.8333 The truth is, hidden damages are quite tricky to find and prove. Generally, if the insurance company cannot see the damage, they are not going to pay for it. But, an experienced public adjuster knows how to identify the damages that are not visible to the naked eye, and objectively prove the damage.

If you’ve ever had water damage to your kitchen or any other area of your house that resulted in the need for a public adjuster, then you know how important it is to be able to identify and understand the scope of your damage. Furthermore, the damages you cannot see due to water leaks should never be overlooked. Consequently, if there are hidden damages inside of your kitchen cabinets (or anywhere else), an experienced public adjuster like Florida Allstar Public Adjusting may be needed to accurately assess the extent of the damages. When it comes time for settlement negotiations with your insurance company, FAPA will work hard on your behalf by identifying all visible and hidden damages and fiercely do the fighting for you.

We contacted Alan in reference to concerns we had with our claim we had open with our insurance desk examiner. We explained the situation and he gave us excellent instructions on how to handle the situation and ensured that he would be available if needed. He was patient during our telephone conversation and did not charge us.

I had a wonderful experience with my Public Adjuster, Alan. Alan is extremely knowledgeable about the insurance industry. When I found Alan on my internet search, I was having a hard time with the insurance company low balling the claim. When we met, Alan inspected the property and the damage caused by a leak and told me he would get me a good settlement. I didn’t think it was possible based on my dealings with the insurance company in the past, but Alan came through for me. Alan is very professional and a caring individual. He not only helped me, but the first time I met him he had to take a call from another client and apologized and excused himself. When he finished his call, which was quick, he apologized again. This showed me that he cared about his clients and the service that he provides and the work that he does. I signed on with him instantly and had a wonderful professional experience with him. He responded to all my calls and text messages and kept me informed about the process and what was going on with the claim. He is a good person and we are blessed to have him in an industry that only cares about their bottom line. I would recommend him to anyone and all of my family members. Thank you so much Alan for all your hard work. I truly appreciate you. Hopefully, I won’t have any other issues with my insurance company, but if I do, I know who to call. All the best, Marcia.

Alan took care of everything, from estimating the cost of repairs to finding an appropriate legal defense team to help fight for my rights as a property owner.

Dealing with insurance companies is not an easy task. Especially as first home buyers they can take advantage of you. My adjuster Allen went above and beyond to assure I can rest easy knowing that all would be handle. He fought real hard till the insurance company finally paid what they should have. The process is not an over night process, but as long as you work along side your adjuster, it make it easier and it will help the process. Overall I highly recommend Florida Allstars Public Adjuster a 100%. Good work Mr. Allen and thank you.

Alan was very helpful in getting our insurance company to pay us. The insurance company sent us a small check after Hurricane Michael that was not nearly enough to cover all our damages. Once Alan became involved, a settlement was reached and all our repairs have been made. Alan kept in touch with us through the whole process and we certainly couldn’t have done it without him. I highly recommend him and his company. He is great at what he does and we are very satisfied. So if you need his help, contact his company. You won’t be sorry.Kathryn & Kenneth Pittman

We submitted a claim to Citizen Property Insurance Corporation, knowing that they were very difficult to deal with, we hired Florida All Star Public Adjusting, Inc. to assist us. Dr. Alan was with us every step of the way, kept us aware of his correspondence with the insurance company. Dr. Alan is professional, reliable, and fights for his customers. 51 days after filing our claim, Florida All Star Adjusting, Inc. presented us a check for the full amount of our coverage.Louise & Lew GMiramar Fla.

I had the pleasure of working with Alan on a claim that literally has taken over a year to resolve with my homeowner's insurance. Alan and his team of professional colleagues took the time to explain the claim's process and kept me updated throughout the entire time. I called Alan on a Friday after 5 PM he was at my home within a couple of hours with resources and knowledge on how to proceed with the insurance company. I will definitely work with Alan in the future and highly recommend Florida Allstar Public Adjusting, Inc.

After Hurricane Michael I was confused on what the next step was because my insurance company gave me no advice. They told me that an adjuster would be coming out to see us. I went to my neighbor next door and I met Dr. Alan Himmel a Public Adjuster and Chiropractor. At that time I had my work car and it had the name of the company I worked for which is also a Chiropractor. We made small talk about the Chiropractic business but then I asked a couple of questions about my home. Alan took the time to answer them even though he was not my public adjuster. This happened a couple times when I would see him at the neighbor’s house I would ask him questions and he always answered them and never did he try to push his public adjusting business on me. He gave me advice on getting a restoration company to come in and check for water and mold. I contacted the restoration company and even though he still was not my public adjuster he came to my home while they were here to check up on things and make sure everything was working out. Then I got a call from my insurance company and they told me I was getting two checks and the amount I was getting was not even enough to put a roof on my house. Well, I had a lot more damage than my roof so I decided to call Alan and ask him what I should do. He asked me if I had my checks yet and I told him they were being mailed to me. He told me to wait till I got my checks then deposit them and that if I wanted him to help me to get the money I needed to fix my house he would be happy to help. He waited until I got my initial settlement before having me sign with him which means he did not get any of that part of the settlement. I signed on with him and he came to my home and spent several hours and took over 100 pictures. He spent many hours working my claim and anytime we found something new he added it in. I never waited more than a day to hear from him if I needed an answer about something or to talk to him, most of the time it was the same day. He even answered me at midnight once because he was up. He finalized my estimate and when they decided to send out another field adjuster to look over everything that was in his estimate he flew up here to meet the adjuster. I thought that was awesome. It took a couple of months from beginning to end for him to negotiate everything but he was able to get me everything I needed to fix my home. Alan is very professional, thorough and he tries to perfect his claims for his clients. He cares very much about every client he signs up. He is very calm and knows how to ensure you that he is working hard and will get you what you need. He is very faithful to his clients.

Alan Himmel literally saved our home. I can never say thank you enough to him. He went more than above and beyond to help us with our troublesome claim. My family and I are eternally greatful for his hard work. This company is honest, trustworthy and committed to you 100%. Alan went through alot with our claim our insurance safepoint is an absolute nightmare. They changed claim managers three times and would always give him the run around. Nevertheless he persisted and pushed. Thanks to him today we have a new roof on our home. I 100% recommend this company to anyone needing an adjuster.
