Working With Insurance Adjusters After Water Damage

After a water damage emergency, your insurance adjuster plays a key role in determining how much your policy will cover. But many homeowners feel overwhelmed or underrepresented during the claims process.

At BlueBarrier Water Damage & Restoration, we work side-by-side with your adjuster to make sure all damages are properly documented — helping you get the full benefits you’re entitled to under your insurance policy.

🧾 What Is an Insurance Adjuster?

An insurance adjuster is the person your insurance company sends to inspect your property and evaluate your water damage claim. Their job is to assess:

• The cause of the damage (covered or not)
• The extent and value of the loss
• Whether the claim is valid under your policy

Why It Helps to Have a Restoration Company Present

Most homeowners don’t know exactly what adjusters are looking for. If you’re not prepared, important damage may go unrecorded — which could reduce your payout.

We meet adjusters on-site to:

• Point out hidden damage (like soaked subflooring or wall cavities)
• Show professional moisture meter readings
• Explain industry restoration standards
• Ensure your loss is fully documented and fairly estimated

Our Role During the Adjuster Visit

Here’s what BlueBarrier does to support your claim:

1. Prepare Documentation: Photos, videos, and moisture readings
2. Create a Line-Item Estimate: We submit a detailed scope of work that matches insurance expectations
3. Join the Adjuster Walkthrough: We point out damage and explain the required restoration process
4. Follow Up: We handle direct communication if the insurer has questions or needs clarification

Tips for Homeowners Working With Adjusters

• 📸 Take your own photos before and after cleanup
• 📝 Write down what happened and when (timeline of the event)
• 🛑 Don’t throw away damaged items until your adjuster has seen them
• 📞 Call BlueBarrier early — we’ll help from the very first step

Are Adjusters Always Objective?

While most adjusters are professional, they work for the insurance company — not for you. Their goal is to manage costs. Having a restoration expert present helps balance the conversation and ensures your damage is taken seriously.
