The reason you need a insurance appraiser when you have a slab leak is that the insurance company will attempt to try a band aid repair such as tunneling or doing reroute, because that is the cheapest (least effective) fix. As a insurance appraiser working on your behalf National Adjusters, Inc. will see that the proper repair is done, this may involve trenching to find and fix the broken pipe. The reason you do NOT want to tunnel to repair a broken pipe is because the earth under your home cannot be packed as tight as it was, thus this will cause sagging thus cause your flooring to crack or worse. This not only causes serious structural problems but it will cause a problem for you in the future if you want to sell your home. The issue with rerouting a pipe is, most times they want to run a pipe overhead (condensation problems when the pipe sweats) second, if they want to re-route outside the footprint of the home and that pipe breaks it is NOT covered under your insurance policy.

Will My Homeowners Insurance Policy or Commercial Policy Pay For a Slab Leak?
Will homeowner's or commercial insurance policy cover a slab leak? The short answer is yes, if its covered under the policy. Do they like to pay it or even cover it it when you do have one? NO! Only a insurance appraiser that works for you can can tell you for sure what you are up against.
Your leak will need to be inside the walls of your foundation and there will need to actually be water damage to trigger coverage. If the leak is outside the foundation or footprint of your home it will not be covered.
If the leak is on the pressure side of your plumbing and the water under the house comes up through the slab and causes damage to your home or belongings, the work to access the slab leak and repair the damage is all covered. If you do not have damage to the above slab portions of your home, and the leak is inside the walls of the foundation, you may still be in luck. When you have the best insurance appraiser, National Adjusters representing you, then you have a slab leak expert in your corner. We will fight to make sure your home is just the way it was before the loss happened. That mean we will not settle for running pipes overhead or out side the home.

What Clients Are Saying About Us
My friend referred me to hire a National Adjusters, and I have to say I was a bit skeptical as I have been misled by others promising results and always coming up short. National Adjuster, has proven themselves to me and five of my personal friends and family, he has gone the distance and stayed persistent in achieving some amazing results when we felt completely frustrated dealing with all the insurance company delay tactics, attempts to low ball our insurance claim and poor claims handling practices. I have invited several of National Adjusters Insurance Appraisers to my family functions as I feel everyone should have someone like them close by when disasters happen.

I have nothing but praise for National Adjusters! They came in with a crew of engineers, roofing consultants, and inspectors, did a ton of detailed paperwork and many supplemental reports, dealt with our insurance company apprasier, and within a short time National Adjusters came through with over $1 million dollars of additional insurance money in appraisal. You kept us informed along the way, and you were there for us. Thank goodness for National Adjusters, Inc.

I am an insurance agent myself and have been for over 30 years. My wife and I have owned many homes and several apartment complexes. We filed our first claim in eight years and after waiting for 3 months for an adjuster and another two months for an engineer they sent, my insurance company said my claim was under my $1,000 deductible. It was then that I got extremely upset and called National Adjusters to assist with Appraisal. Within 30 days they inspected the damage, met with the insurance company and thenI received a check from my insurance company forway more then the insurance company offered. They were extremely polite, efficient, and obtained excellent results. I would recommend National Adjusters, Inc. to anyone with an insurance claim dispute in these difficult times. I no longer work in the insurance industry because insurance companies have grown difficult to deal with and the customer service is no longer there. That is why anyone with an insurance dispute needs an Insurance Appraiser to act on their behalf and eliminate the stress!

I am a senior risk manager at a large manufacturing firm who recently used National Adjusters, Inc service to assist us with our insurance company dispute. I just had to write and let you know how satisfied I am with the results your organization was able to achieve! The business interruption calculations allowed us to get additional coverage and payment that the insurance company adjuster denied, the machinery replacement costs were finally paid per your expert evaluations a 400% increase, not to mention the fact that your team was able to successfully reduce the amount of depreciation the insurance company was attempting to apply. I honestly thought I could handle this insurance process myself; BOY was I wrong and at the same time grateful for the assistance National Adjusters was able to provide. You truly made me look like a hero to my superiors. I am so glad that I took a chance on you!
