A Public adjuster gets policyholders on average 747% more in their insurance settlement than if they had not used one.
Why use a Public Adjuster?
A public adjuster helps businesses, commercial property owners, and commercial property managers obtain a fair insurance settlement for hail and storm damages to their commercial HVAC and rooftop systems. Since most commercial HVAC or rooftop units are located on the roof of a property, they are exposed to hail and storm damage. Replacing a commercial HVAC system or rooftop unit could be quite expensive. Many businesses, commercial property owners, and commercial property managers don’t have the working capital to replace their commercial HVAC or rooftop unit. This causes a lot of stress to ensure the insurance claim completely covers the replacement costs. A public adjuster can help you file an insurance claim and secure the proper settlement you deserve.

A Hail Damage Claim Can Sneak Up on You
Most property owners forget that a roof is exposed to literally everything under the sun. As result, when mother nature sends some hail, your roof is the first to get impacted. Often commercial HVAC and rooftop systems fail months after the hail or storm damage impacted them.
A public adjuster can provide you with a thermography report using infrared imaging to detect moisture in your roofing system, which then can be traced back to hail damage.

In the same way, a public adjuster can provide you with a thermography report using infrared imaging to detect moisture in your roofing system, which then can be traced back to hail damage. Meteorological programs can also be used to supply data to help pinpoint which storms with hail likely impacted your commercial HVAC or rooftop system.
Who Pays a Public Adjuster?
Public adjusters can earn a flat rate, hourly rate, or a contingency fee based on the outcome of the insurance claim. Like an independent adjusters, public adjusters typically choose to receive a percentage of the settlement. The policyholder is then responsible for paying the firm they hired.
