Indianapolis & central Indiana
Wind and storm damage claims
Missing shingles, torn siding, and trees on the roof. Wind damage claims need fast action and careful documentation.
Quick answer
Can a public adjuster help with a wind & storm damage claim?
Yes. A public adjuster works for you, not the insurer. On a wind & storm damage claim, Indiana Public Adjusters reviews your policy, inspects and documents the damage, prepares a detailed estimate, and negotiates with your insurance company. There's no upfront cost, and if there's no recovery, you owe no fee. Fee terms are outlined in your contract.
Overview
How wind & storm damage claims work
Strong winds from thunderstorms and other severe weather can lift and crease shingles, tear off siding and soffit, damage fences, and bring trees down onto roofs and decks. Creased shingles can lose their seal even when they look like they're still in place.
Wind claims often come with urgent problems: an open roof, water getting in, a tree that needs to be removed. We help you protect the property, document everything, and build a claim that covers the damage and the costs that come with it.
Where claims fall short
Common problems on wind & storm damage claims
Creased shingles overlooked
A shingle can be broken at the seal without being missing. These are easy to miss on a quick inspection.
Tree removal limits
Policies often limit debris and tree removal coverage. We read your policy and document what applies.
Interior damage left out
Water that came in through storm damage belongs in the claim too.
Other structures
Fences and detached buildings are often covered separately and forgotten.
FAQ
Questions about wind & storm damage claims
A tree fell on my house. Is it covered?
It often is when a covered peril causes a tree to damage a covered structure, but the details depend on your policy. We review it with you.
Should I tarp my roof before the adjuster comes?
Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Take photos first, keep receipts, and only do what's safe.
Are fences covered after a windstorm?
Fences are commonly covered under other structures coverage, subject to your policy terms and limits.
What if only a few shingles blew off?
A few missing shingles can point to a wider problem with the seal across the roof. We inspect the whole roof.
