Fire & Smoke Damage Claim
Public Adjusters
Residential and commercial property be greatly impacted by the perils of smoke and fire. Small or large, fire and smoke damage can be devastating. Damage can be as basic as smoke damage to complete destruction of your property.
When fire damage occurs, many city and municipal services get involved. Property owners are inundated with questions and do not know how to properly respond. Please, after you call 911, call us at (800) 952-7693. We will assist you with the fire, smoke, water, dry out and mold remediation.
What TO DO when you have a fire damage claim in Florida?
- Do put our number 800-952-7693 into your contacts and speed dial.
- Do prepare your property if a storm is approaching.
- Do take a video of your home inside and out and all of your contents and store in a safe place.
- Do secure important papers like passports, birth certificates, insurance policies, auto titles, in a waterproof place at your home or your safe deposit box. (Remember banks flood too so be sure to get a box several feet off the ground).
- Do pack a go box with personal supplies, water, and food if you are going to run from the storm.
- Do get cash early, as ATM machines will probably be offline.
- Do fill up your cars with gasoline. Fill your generators as well if you have them.
- Do let your family members know what your plans are as cell phones may be down for several days.
- Do purchase a battery-operated radio or weather radio.
What NOT TO DO when you have a fire damage claim in Florida?
- DO NOT, after a heavy smoky fire, sleep in the house. Smoke and fire damage can be hazardous. Your home needs to be tested for harmful chemical changes to the air quality in your home. These tests take a few weeks to come back from the laboratory. You do not want to inhale carbon black residue left over from a fire.
- Do not sign any contracts with any remediation firms without seeking advice from your attorney. If you insist on hiring a firm, then only sign to have them dry out your home. Do not sign a contract to have them do the repairs on your home after the fire damage. If you decide they are not the firm for you, and even if they did not perform the work, they usually have in the fine print a 20% penalty clause for liquidated damages on their contracts, and you will have to pay them even if you do not use them to do the work.
- Do not clean up the mold. Please look at our mold page and follow those recommendations on what to do regarding airing out your home.
- Do not spend more on ALEs than your current housing accommodation would have cost. You are entitled to like kind and similar. If you were living in an upper middle-class home, they will not pay for a rental of an ultra-luxurious home.

Our adjuster came to the house a few times to scope out the damage from a water leak and he spent quite a bit of time measuring the affected areas. The resulting claim amount was amazing. If we had handled the insurance company ourselves we would have come up way short. We highly recommend and trust Florida’s Best.
