1. Temporary Housing

After a home fire, finding temporary housing is a top priority. The costs associated with temporary accommodation, including rent, utilities, and food, can quickly add up. Atlantic Adjusting Co. understands the urgency of securing suitable temporary housing and can assist you in navigating the process. Our team will work tirelessly to ensure that you have a safe and comfortable place to stay while your home is being repaired or rebuilt.

2. Replacement of Personal Belongings

The loss of personal belongings in a home fire can be devastating. While homeowner’s insurance may cover the replacement of furniture and appliances, there are often limitations when it comes to personal items such as clothing, electronics, and sentimental possessions. Atlantic Adjusting Co. can help you assess the full extent of your losses and work with your insurance company to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your belongings.

3. Smoke and Water Damage

Fires not only cause damage through flames but also through smoke and water. Smoke can permeate walls, ceilings, and belongings, leaving behind a pervasive odor that is difficult to remove. Additionally, water from firefighting efforts can lead to mold and structural damage. Atlantic Adjusting Co. has the expertise to assess the full extent of smoke and water damage and advocate for comprehensive restoration efforts to ensure that your home is restored to its pre-loss condition.

4. Loss of Valuable Documents

In a home fire, important documents such as birth certificates, passports, and legal records can be destroyed. Atlantic Adjusting Co. can help you navigate the process of replacing these documents and ensure that you have the necessary documentation to file your insurance claim. Our team will work with local authorities and government agencies to expedite the replacement process and minimize the associated costs.

5. Emotional Toll

The emotional toll of a home fire can be immense and can have hidden financial costs. Counseling and therapy to address the trauma of the fire can add up over time, and stress and anxiety can lead to health issues that result in medical bills. Atlantic Adjusting Co. understands the importance of addressing the emotional impact of a home fire and can provide resources and support to help you and your family cope during this difficult time.

Preventing and Preparing for Home Fires

While home fires are unpredictable, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk and mitigate potential expenses. Atlantic Adjusting Co. recommends:

Installing smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in your home.

Developing a fire escape plan and conducting fire drills with your family.
Storing valuable documents and possessions in fireproof safes.
Reviewing and updating your homeowner’s insurance policy regularly to ensure adequate coverage.
