Strom Damage Insurance Claims
Over the past few years, Ireland has seen its fair share of storms. From Ophelia to Hannah and Hector to Callum, we have all experienced first-hand, the power of nature and how it can destroy and damage properties. Storms and unexpected weather events have become frequent in Ireland, we have seen events of strong winds, thunderstorms, snowstorms, torrential rain and flooding affecting the country nationwide. Due to the unexpectedness of these storms, how can you prepare your home and keep your property safe from damage? It is very hard to foretell the likelihood of something occuring, so naturally you can’t always prepare in advance. Of course it is important to keep your property in good repair and to take steps to keep the things you love safe.
Storm damage can be extensive due to the unpredictable nature of weather. Storm damage can include; roof leak(s), water damage, flooding, fallen trees, structural damage, broken roof tiles, broken windows, damaged car(s), roof collapse, roof ripped off your building, landslides, etc., the list is endless. Each of these occurrences, no matter how big or how small, is an inconvenience to you and can turn your world upside-down.
Never try to remedy a problem during a storm, your own safety is more important! Once the storm has passed and you get to see the damage caused you must first take photos before making the area safe by getting a contractor to fix any major issues. You also need to contact your insurer and that is where Brendan can step in and save you the hassle of having to deal with your insurer on your own. It can be intimidating to argue your case to get the compensation that you deserve. Some people may not even apply for compensation as the process is too intimidating for them to deal with. Brendan will talk with you and then visit your home and conduct an assessment as to the damage suffered and the costs associated with it. He will then contact your insurer on your behalf and ensure that you get the compensation that you deserve. He makes the process of claiming easy and stress-free, which is exactly how it should be.

While many insurance companies will assist you at the outset of your fire claim, their only responsibility is to ensure costs are covered to restore your property and replace affected contents. The most stressful and time-consuming day-to-day elements will be left to you to organise and oversee alone if you do not appoint a Loss Assessor
There is no reason why your insurance company or Loss Adjuster should discourage you from appointing your own Loss Assessor to manage your fire insurance claim. If your Loss Adjuster is trying to dissuade you from using our services, you should question why they are against the idea of you being equally represented. After all, a Loss Assessor can only help a policyholder claim for what is legally covered within their insurance policy
We provide a range of services including public loss assessing, claims consultation and even pre-loss assessments to examine your property and make sure you are not under-insured or over-insured.
The types of claims we manage include:
- Fire, explosion, lightning, earthquake
- Smoke
- Storm or Flood
- Escape of Water / Burst Pipe
- Impact Damage
- Theft / Malicious damage / Vandalism
- Third Party Claims
- Subsidence / Heave
- Freezing
- Escape of Oil
- Accidental Damage
