Local facts that shape property risk.
Storm documentation gaps
Carriers lean on wear and cosmetic arguments; storm-created damage still must be isolated with photos, moisture readings, and repair history.
Water intrusion paths
Roof leaks meeting plumbing or condensate failures cascade quickly — document the path early.
Condo / HOA & commercial
Master vs. unit allocation and commercial BI questions hide underpayment when documentation is incomplete.

What hits Savannah properties
The losses we document most often.
Coastal / tropical wind & rain
Bands across Chatham County fail roofs, windows, and cladding — prolonged rain then drives water past openings.
Hail & severe thunderstorms
Hail and straight-line wind bruise shingles, crack tiles, dent soft metals, and open leak paths carriers call cosmetic.
Water intrusion & plumbing
Roof leaks meeting condensate or supply-line failures cascade through homes and rentals — document early.
Commercial, retail & multifamily
Retail, hospitality, and apartments take the same wind and water — plus business-income questions.
Storm timeline
Storm & loss timeline for Chatham County.
Local weather and storm patterns that shape Chatham County claim files — plus the losses that never wait for a DR number.
Tropical remnants & severe wind
South Georgia takes inland wind and rain bands that fail roofs without a coastal landfall.

Text an adjusterHow long does an insurer have to decide my claim in Georgia?
Georgia law doesn’t set a fixed number of days for homeowners claims. Under O.C.G.A. § 33-6-34, insurers must acknowledge claim communications with reasonable promptness and, when you ask in writing, affirm or deny coverage within a reasonable time after completing the investigation. Put your request for a coverage decision in writing and keep a copy. Educational orientation — not legal advice.
What does a public adjuster review cost in Georgia?
The claim review is free. If we take your claim, fees and services are explained in a written agreement before representation. We work under published Georgia license 3688318 and confirm current status before engagement.
My HOA or condo has a master-policy claim — do I still need my own?
Often yes. Master-policy repairs may cover common elements while your unit interior or improvements still sit on an HO-6 or homeowners form. We help sort association vs. unit documentation.
Can you help with wind, hail, or water claims in Savannah?
Yes. Georgia wind, hail, and water claims often turn on wear vs. storm-created damage, matching, and documentation of the leak path. Bring photos, the estimate, and your declarations page.
Can you help after I have already been paid?
Underpaid and partially paid claims are a core part of our work. Bring the estimate, payment breakdown, denial or partial-payment letter, photos, and policy. A review does not guarantee an additional check.
