Port St Lucie - Bathroom Plumbing Leak - Multiple Supplements - Paid Full Estimate $23,000

A Port St Lucie homeowner (T.B.) made contact with VIP Adjusting about two weeks after having a leak inside the wall behind their bathroom shower. The water was turned off and the leak was repaired, but damage was caused by the water inside the wall, access was required to open the wall and repair the plumbing, and damage was caused in an adjacent bedroom to laminate flooring that runs continuously throughout the home.

The damages were presented to the insurance company and they made an initial evaluation of $8,900. VIP Adjusting finalized its estimate and provided it to the insurer, pointing out the deficiencies in the initial payment.

The insurance company conducted an additional investigation and issued a supplemental payment totaling 15,300. That payment was still insufficient.

After some additional negotiating, and a little legal help, the insurance company finally agreed to pay the full value of VIP Adjusting’s estimate, 23,000, including all of the bathroom damages and replacement for all the flooring.
