About Public Adjuster Search

A public adjuster in Texas is an insurance claim professional who will work with you and your insurance company until the claim is resolved. Public adjusters work for you, the policyholder, and their primary goal is to ensure that you receive the full payout from your insurance claim. They are not affiliated with any insurance company.

You may encounter three types of insurance adjusters:

Public Insurance Adjusters, also known as Private Adjusters, are independent contractors who do not work for insurance companies.

Independent Adjusters are those who work on behalf of insurance companies and contract their services to them.

Company Adjusters, also known as Staff Adjusters, work directly for the insurance company, so their top priority is the company’s bottom line.

That is why Public Adjusters was established. To represent you and to protect you, our client’s interest, in measuring, documenting and presenting insurance claims on your behalf, in an effort to maximize as well as expedite your insurance recoveries.

Hiring a Public Adjuster Costs

Public adjusters typically charge a percentage of the claim payment. In rare cases, an adjuster may charge a flat or hourly rate, but the industry standard is to charge consumers 10% of the total claim amount or 25% of new money (new money is additional money above and beyond what your carrier has already offered as a settlement or already paid out). According to Texas law, the fee percentage will never exceed 10% of the total claim value. The fees charged are agreed upon in advance between the policyholder and the public adjuster and are documented in writing in the form of a contract.

Metal Roof Failure

According to an Austin roofing contractor that specializes in metal roofing, a major cause for metal roof problems is roof movement or expansions and contraction caused by thermal shock. A sun-heated roof surface commonly reaches 150 to 175 degrees. Every time when it rains, the roof surface temperature plummets to 70 to 75 degrees. This causes a steel roof to contract or move approximately 1″/100′ of the roof, almost instantly. An aluminum roof will move nearly 2″/100′. This same roof movement occurs more slowly every morning and night of a sunny day, or with variable cloudiness. The structural steel supporting the roof moves only a fraction of an inch, if at all. This places the roof panels and panel fasteners under extreme dynamic stress. This stress loosens and breaks fasteners, loosens seams and can elongate fastener holes, all causing leaks. Studies have proven that roofs insulated under the roof surface are normally more troublesome, because of even higher peak roof temperatures.

Rusting and corrosion: Most new roof surfaces and panel fasteners are protected by paint or galvanizing. Natural aging and roof movement causes this protection to deteriorate and rusting occurs. Commonly fasteners rust first and accelerate “through” rust on the roof surface around them. Rain and moisture can enter even into tight roof seams. While the seams and metal flashing might not leak, capillary action holds the moisture in the seams and accelerates heavy concealed rust damage, frequently before anyone realizes what is happening. Chemicals and salt in the atmosphere also frequently cause rust and corrosion problems.

What Can Be Done About Metal Roof Loss?

1. Replace the roof: This can be very costly & usually in a few years, the very same problems that caused the original roof to fail, will cause the new roof to fail. That is of course unless the new roof is somehow externally shielded. Here is a handy roof calculator.
2. Spot sealing of leaks with any of numerous mastics or coatings can be effective for a short period of time. These sealants commonly fail quickly, for the same reasons the roof failed. The usually look bad and carry no warranty. Many of the common coatings can create and contribute to very serious concealed rusting because they entrap and hold moisture constantly in close contact with the roof surface. This includes most aluminum coatings and urethane foam. Concealed rusting can become so bad that roof replacement may be the only answer. Many suppliers are aware of the destructive potential of their sealants.
3. The optimum system would dependably and cost-effectively, treat and prevent rust, insulate against the damaging intense heat and rays of the sun, cool the building, eliminate thermal shock/roof movement, look good, restore the roof to top condition, preserve it, plus carry a meaningful warranty.
