Why You Need an Independent Loss Assessor for Your Insurance Claim.
A recent €22,800 water damage claim in Galway where a burst pipe caused a full ceiling collapse, damaged timber flooring, door frames and electrics along with additional damage to a bathroom upstairs. Claims-Assist.ie managed the entire restoration process.
Managing an insurance claim after water, fire, or storm damage is one of the most stressful experiences a homeowner can face. Most people in Ireland don’t realize that when they file a claim, the person the insurance provider sends to inspect the damage—the Loss Adjuster—is there to protect the insurance company’s interests, not yours!
At Claims-Assist.ie, we flip the script. As a Public Loss Assessor, we work exclusively for you. Based in Galway but providing a Nationwide service, we ensure that you get every cent you are entitled to under your policy.
Real Life Example: €22,800 Water Damage Claim in Galway.
To show you the value of hiring a professional, look at a case we handled recently in Galway.
A local homeowner suffered a significant leak from a burst pipe while they were away for the weekend. Initially, the insurance company’s adjuster suggested a settlement that barely covered the visible surface damage.
After being appointed, Claims-Assist.ie performed a full moisture survey. We discovered hidden water damage behind the fitted units and under hardwood flooring that had been completely overlooked.
-
The Result: We successfully negotiated a final settlement of €22,800—ensuring the homeowner could afford to fully restore their home to its original condition without paying out of pocket.
The Difference Between a Loss Adjuster and a Loss Assessor.
It is a common mistake to confuse these two roles. Here is the simple breakdown:
-
The Loss Adjuster: Appointed and paid by the insurance company. Their goal is to settle the claim as economically as possible for the insurer.
-
The Loss Assessor (Claims-Assist.ie): Appointed and paid by you. Our goal is to ensure your home is fully restored and that no hidden damage is overlooked.
We Handle All Property Damage Claims Nationwide.
Whether you are dealing with a small leak or a major catastrophe, having a professional insurance claim expert on your side is vital. We specialize in:
Water Damage & Burst Pipes.
Water damage insurance claims are the most frequent claim in Ireland. Water can travel behind walls and under floors, leading to structural issues. We use specialized equipment to detect the full extent of the moisture. Our vast experience can help you quantify your burst pipe ceiling repair cost
Fire and Smoke Damage.
A fire damage claim is complex. Beyond the visible charred items, smoke acidity can ruin electronics and HVAC systems. We ensure the “secondary damage” is included in your payout.
