April Showers Can Lead to Serious Insurance Disputes
Spring storms across Pennsylvania and New Jersey don’t just bring rain—they bring complex property damage claims that are frequently underpaid, delayed, or denied.
At AAA Public Adjusters, LLC, we see a sharp increase in:
- Roof damage and water intrusion
- Interior damage from storm-created openings
- Basement flooding and foundation seepage
- Improperly scoped or denied mitigation claims

⚖️ The Insurance Company Playbook
After a loss, carriers often rely on language such as:
- “This appears to be long-term damage”
- “This is a maintenance-related issue”
- “Water seepage is excluded”
These positions are frequently used to limit payouts—not properly evaluate your loss.

💧 The Biggest Issue: Underpaid Mitigation
One of the most common problems we see:
👉 Mitigation invoices being reduced or ignored
Insurance companies often:
- Cut drying time
- Reduce equipment usage
- Deny cleaning and disinfection
However, industry standards such as Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification S500 establish proper procedures for water damage restoration.

🛑 Improper Payment Handling
Another major issue:
👉 Insurance checks issued incorrectly
This includes:
- Combining mitigation and rebuild funds
- Including mortgage companies unnecessarily
- Ignoring contractor agreements
- Not honoring public adjuster contracts
