Residential Property Claim
Helping Homeowners Recover Fairly from Property Damage
At Washington Public Adjuster, we specialize in helping homeowners navigate the overwhelming process of filing residential property damage claims. When disaster strikes your home, the insurance process can feel like a second blow. Between confusing policy language, low settlement offers, and delays in communication, many homeowners quickly realize their insurance company is not on their side.
We step in as licensed public adjusters in Washington to act on your behalf, managing the entire claims process and fighting to recover the full value of your loss. Whether your home suffered fire damage, water intrusion, wind damage, or another covered peril, we bring clarity, strategy, and negotiation power to your claim. Our job is to protect your interests, not the insurance company’s bottom line.
What is a Residential Property Damage Claim?
A residential property damage claim is a formal request to your insurance company to reimburse you for damage to your home or personal property caused by a covered event. These events can include fire, smoke, water, hail, windstorms, theft, vandalism, and more. While filing a claim may seem simple, insurance companies often minimize payouts by undervaluing damage, missing key details during inspections, or applying questionable depreciation and exclusions.
This is where our role as a public adjuster becomes crucial. We perform a thorough, independent inspection of your home, document all damages in detail, review your policy line by line, and prepare a claim package that demands fair compensation. We negotiate directly with the insurance company so you don’t have to, making sure every part of your property is accounted for and valued properly.
Why Washington Homeowners Choose Washington Public Adjuster
Most homeowners in Washington assume their insurance company will take care of them when property damage occurs. Unfortunately, the reality is more complicated. Insurance carriers have their own adjusters whose loyalty is to the company, not the policyholder. That’s why Washington residents turn to Washington Public Adjuster. We are locally based and deeply familiar with both the insurance industry and the unique challenges Washington homeowners face, from wildfire risk to winter storm damage.
We work with homeowners across the state, including Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, Medford, and surrounding areas. Our process is professional, transparent, and tailored to your individual situation. If your home has been damaged and you’re not sure where to turn, we offer a free policy review and consultation to evaluate your options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about your insurance claim or how we work? Here are answers to some of the most common questions from Washington property owners.
A public adjuster represents you - not your insurance company. Our job is to inspect your damage, read the fine print in your policy, create a detailed estimate of repair costs, and negotiate with the insurer to recover the maximum settlement possible. We are licensed professionals who understand how to build strong claims based on evidence, valuation standards, and Washington insurance law.
Yes, especially if you feel your insurer is underpaying, delaying, or denying parts of your claim. Studies show policyholders who work with public adjusters receive significantly higher settlements on average. If your property damage is substantial, hiring a public adjuster often pays for itself and then some.
Your homeowners policy will outline what types of damage are covered, but the language can be vague or hard to interpret. We help you understand exactly what your policy covers and identify areas where coverage might apply - even ones the insurance company may overlook.
We can still help. If your claim was denied or undervalued, we can review it and reopen the case with proper documentation. In many cases, homeowners simply didn’t provide the right proof or were misled by confusing policy terms. We know how to correct that.
NW Claims Management works on a contingency basis, meaning we only get paid if you do. Our fee is a small percentage of your settlement and will be discussed up front with full transparency. You’ll never be left guessing what you’ll owe.
