Understanding Wildfire and Wind Insurance Claims
Wildfires can cause extensive and varied damage to properties, creating challenges that go far beyond just fire itself. From structural issues to wind damage, smoke infiltration, and much more, understanding how your insurance policy addresses these damages is essential.
Our team at Excel Adjusters is here to help you navigate the entire insurance claims process. Some of the most frequent wildfire-related issues we help resolve include:
- Full or partial burn to your home or property: Partial and substantial burns can cause structural damage and compromise the integrity of the affected property.
- Smoke damage: Smoke damage is extremely pervasive, infiltrating homes and leaving behind odors, staining, and potential health hazards.
- Water damage: Wildfires can damage your pipes and wells, resulting in potentially contaminated water damage.
- Wind damage: On top of enhancing smoke infiltration, powerful winds from wildfires can also lead to fallen trees, debris impact, structural issues, and more.
Every wildfire is different, and the damage it causes can vary widely. This makes it very important to understand the specifics of your insurance policy. Each policy comes with unique terms and conditions that dictate what is covered and how much you can claim, often making the process challenging to navigate on your own.
