Storm Damage Insurance Claims
Dublin’s Trusted Specialists in Storm Damage Claims: Maximising Compensation for Your Property
Severe weather events, including storms, can lead to significant property damage. While some signs of damage may be immediately apparent, such as fallen trees impacting roofs, walls, and windows, other effects may be less visible yet equally damaging.
Issues like leaks from burst or broken pipes, structural damage to walls, and electrical complications can arise in the aftermath of a storm. In extreme cases, roofs may be torn off entirely, or individual roof slates may become dislodged, leading to further complications.
​
At Capital Claims, we help homeowners and businesses navigate the complexities of storm damage insurance claims. Understanding the scope of potential damage and the importance of professional assistance can make a significant difference in the recovery process.
Storm Damage Claims
The initial assessment of storm damage is crucial for determining the necessary repairs and understanding the potential implications for your property. Common indicators of storm damage include:
​
-
Fallen Trees and Debris: Trees may be uprooted or broken, causing direct damage to roofs and windows. This can create immediate openings for water intrusion, leading to additional problems.
-
Roof Damage: Storms can cause substantial roof damage, including missing shingles or entire sections being torn away. It’s essential to inspect the roof after a storm to identify any issues that may require immediate attention.
-
Leaks and Water Damage: Heavy rains can lead to leaks in ceilings and walls, often resulting from damaged roofs or clogged gutters. Water intrusion can cause mold growth and compromise the structural integrity of the building.
-
Structural Damage: Severe winds and heavy rain can cause structural issues, such as cracks in the walls or shifting foundations. Addressing these problems promptly is essential to prevent further deterioration.
Business Storm Damage
After a storm, it is essential to conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify any damage. While some homeowners may attempt to assess the damage themselves, it is advisable to seek the expertise of a professional loss assessor. Our team is equipped to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your property, identifying both visible and hidden damage.
​
Professional assessments not only provide a detailed understanding of the damage but also serve as a crucial step in the claims process. Our experts can document all findings, ensuring that you have a complete record to present to your insurance company. This documentation is vital for securing the compensation you are entitled to under your policy.
​
Flooding, in particular, can lead to extensive damage and prolonged operational disruptions. If your business experiences storm damage, it is often necessary to conduct emergency repairs to mitigate further damage.
​
Given the potential for structural issues caused by storm and flooding damage, obtaining expert advice is essential. During the stormy winter months in Ireland, gale-force winds and heavy rainfall can lead to serious flooding, affecting commercial premises. Engaging a professional loss assessor can help you navigate these challenges effectively.
