Not all damage is visible after a storm, plumbing leak, or roof issue. In Broward County, many homeowners don’t realize they have hidden damage—until it gets worse.
A public adjuster can help uncover these issues early, document them properly, and make sure your insurance pays what it should.
🕵️♂️ What Is Hidden Damage?
Hidden damage refers to:
- Moisture inside walls after a roof leak
- Mold growth behind cabinets or drywall
- Cracks in the foundation or structural shifts
- Water-damaged insulation
- Electrical issues after a storm
These types of damage often go unnoticed until they cause serious (and expensive) problems.
🛠️ Why Inspections Matter in Broward
Due to Broward’s climate (humidity, storms, salt air), properties are especially vulnerable to hidden issues. A licensed public adjuster will:
- Perform a thorough inspection using moisture meters, infrared cameras, and construction knowledge
- Document the damage before it spreads
- Create a detailed estimate to submit to your insurer
💡 When to Call a Public Adjuster
- After a storm, even if you don’t see major damage
- If you notice musty smells, bubbling paint, or high humidity indoors
- If your insurance company only covered visible damage
- If your repair contractor suspects deeper issues
