Fire Loss Recovery — Chandler, AZ

Noble Public Adjusting Group successfully navigated the complex and challenging process of adjusting the property damage claim for Chandler Fresh in Chandler, Arizona. The fire that gutted the interior of the grocery store required complete buildout reconstruction, with initial estimates covering only a small portion of the total damage. Noble’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail helped identify and negotiate additional covered damages that were missed by the insurance estimator, ultimately leading to a comprehensive settlement.

The property suffered significant structural compromise due to the fire, with roof failures and window breaches allowing water to intrude into the interior spaces. The interior walls and ceilings were severely damaged, requiring extensive repairs and replacement of materials. In addition, the heat from the fire caused the building’s electrical systems to fail, leaving the property without power for an extended period.

Furthermore, the fire exposed underlying environmental issues, including asbestos and lead-based paint, which posed significant health risks to occupants. Noble Public Adjusting Group conducted a thorough assessment of the property, documenting every detail of the damage, including extensive photos and video footage. This comprehensive documentation enabled the public adjusters to develop a detailed itemized estimate of the damages, which was essential in supporting their negotiation efforts with the insurance carrier.

The fire also had a profound impact on the building’s systems and infrastructure, including the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. Noble’s experts carefully evaluated each system, identifying areas where repairs or replacement were necessary to restore the property to its original condition. This detailed assessment allowed Noble Public Adjusting Group to develop a comprehensive recovery plan for Chandler Fresh, ensuring that all covered damages were accurately assessed and accounted for.

The insurance carrier’s initial estimate of $150,000 proved woefully inadequate, with Noble Public Adjusting Group identifying additional damages totaling over $1 million. The public adjusters discovered that the insurance estimator had under-scoped the claim by failing to account for various line items, including materials and labor costs associated with rebuilding the interior spaces.

Furthermore, Noble’s experts uncovered evidence of corporate under-scoping tactics, where certain areas of the property were deemed “uninsurable” or “not covered” by the policy. This deliberate misrepresentation of the policy’s terms allowed the insurance carrier to avoid paying for essential repairs and replacements, leaving Chandler Fresh vulnerable to financial ruin.

The discrepancy between the initial estimate and the total damages was significant, with Noble Public Adjusting Group working tirelessly to negotiate a comprehensive settlement on behalf of Chandler Fresh. Through meticulous documentation and evidence presentation, the public adjusters demonstrated that the insurance carrier’s under-scoping tactics were not only intentional but also resulted in substantial financial losses for the policyholder.
