Flood Damage Recovery — Scottsdale, AZ

The Chamberlain Family of Scottsdale, AZ, was hit hard by the devastating River Flooding that caused extensive damage to their property. The insurance company initially offered a settlement of $17,000, which was far below the actual cost of repairs. Noble Public Adjusting Group’s team of experts stepped in to document the full extent of the damage and negotiate a final settlement of $87,600 — a 415% increase over the original offer. Through their diligent efforts, the Chamberlain Family was able to recover a substantial portion of the damages they incurred.

The property suffered significant structural compromise due to the floodwaters, including roof failures and window breaches that allowed water to intrude into the interior. Thermal imaging revealed extensive water damage to the walls and ceilings, while expert assessments confirmed that the foundation of the building had shifted due to the weight of the floodwaters. The Chamberlain Family’s property was also impacted by environmental factors, with flooding affecting the HVAC system and causing significant wear on the plumbing fixtures.

The storm surge from the River Flooding caused a substantial amount of debris to accumulate around the property, including branches, leaves, and other organic matter that had been washed up from the surrounding landscape. This debris not only posed a safety risk but also required specialized cleaning and removal techniques to prevent further damage to the property. The Chamberlain Family’s home was also severely impacted by the floodwaters’ ability to seep into the walls and ceilings, causing significant water damage to the electrical systems and flooring.

As the team from Noble Public Adjusting Group assessed the property, they discovered that the floodwaters had also caused significant erosion of the surrounding soil, leading to a substantial amount of sedimentation in the nearby storm drains. This posed an ongoing risk to the Chamberlain Family’s property, as it required regular maintenance to ensure that the drains were functioning properly.

The initial offer from the insurance company was woefully inadequate, failing to account for the full extent of the damages incurred by the Chamberlain Family. This under-scoping was likely due to a lowball adjustment model that failed to consider the severity of the floodwaters or the impact on the property’s structural integrity. By not taking a comprehensive approach to assessing the damage, the insurance company left itself vulnerable to disputes with policyholders who had been misled by the initial offer.

As Noble Public Adjusting Group dug deeper into the claim, they discovered that the insurance company had also failed to account for numerous line items that were crucial to repairing the property. These overlooked expenses included significant costs related to dehumidification and drying out the affected areas, as well as specialized cleaning and removal services to remove the debris that had accumulated on the property.

The lack of transparency and communication from the insurance company left the Chamberlain Family feeling frustrated and disenfranchised. They had been led to believe that their claim was being handled with care and attention, only to discover later that their needs were not being met.
