Identify Hidden Damages in Florida
Identify Hidden Damages Florida for homeowners and commercial properties - LA Consulting Public Adjusters offers these services to help property owners maximize their claims
Summary
- Find hidden water and structural damage
- Infrared, moisture, and forensic testing
- Maximize settlement with licensed public adjusters
When storms, leaks, or wear affect your Florida property the visible damage is often only part of the problem. Insurance adjusters working for carriers may miss concealed issues such as hidden water intrusion, framing rot, mold, or compromised roof decking that expand repair scope and cost. LA Consulting Public Adjusters identifies hidden damages insurers commonly overlook, documents full scope with forensic methods, and advocates to maximize your settlement. You benefit from our licensed adjusters, Florida building knowledge, and a proven track record handling residential and commercial claims.
How Hidden Damages Are Missed
Insurer inspections can be limited by time, access, or an initial focus on obviously visible damage. Temporary repairs, paint, or insulation can conceal long term water intrusion. Adjusters may not deploy forensic tools or consult building experts during first inspections, and narrow scopes or misinterpreted policy language can leave critical items undocumented. That gap is where LA Consulting steps in to expand the scope and protect your recovery.
Forensic Inspections and Tools We Use
Our forensic process uses infrared thermography, calibrated moisture meters, borescopes, drone roof surveys, and targeted sampling when necessary. We partner with structural engineers, certified mold assessors, and licensed roofing consultants to verify damage beyond surface signs. Each discovery is photographed, measured, and mapped to create a defensible damage log and repair scope.
Documentation matters: we prepare industry standard scope of loss reports, line item estimates using accepted estimating methodologies, and photo annotated evidence to justify supplements. LA Consulting prepares clear, insured friendly presentations that support negotiation and, when required, third party review. Our approach emphasizes accuracy so your claim reflects the true rebuild cost and risks are mitigated before restoration.
Common Hidden Damages We Uncover
Concealed water intrusion behind walls and under flooring, mold colonization, roof deck and sheathing rot, compromised framing or joists, attic and crawlspace damage, HVAC and duct corrosion, hidden electrical damage, and sewer or drain backups that spread contamination.
Finding hidden damage expands the documented scope, improves settlement outcomes, restores safety and property value, and reduces the chance of future failure. Properly documented hidden losses protect your budget for permanent repairs and provide a defensible claim position during insurer negotiation.
