Were you in the same business you are now?  

Property Adjustment Corporation has been in the business of helping home and business owners who have experienced severe sudden and accidental damage- receive the maximum entitlements of their insurance policy for exactly 25 years this year.

In 1989 there was no e-mail or smart phones, over the years our method of communication with our customers and coworkers has improved drastically. Back then we took photos of property damage on film cameras and had the film developed at New York Camera in Feasterville.  Pushing paper was a big part of the claims process by sending correspondence to insurance companies via a letter posted in the U.S. mail or facsimile machines.

Today communication with an insurance company may move along at a faster pace but the rate insurance companies’ pay out claims has stayed pretty much the same. After all these years it is still the best  option to hire a public adjuster to represent your interest to make sure you are getting everything you are entitled.

Why Experience Matters in Public Adjustment

It is our job to pay attention to how your policy works and how certain aspects may change from year to year. At Property Adjustment Corporation we belong to state and national organizations like MAPIA (Mid-Atlantic Public Insurance Adjuster Association) and NAPIA (National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters) that work to keep insurance policies written to be fair to the policy holder.

Each of our adjusters brings more than 20 years of experience to your claim. Many of our adjusters have worked for years for the insurance companies and now want to look after the interests of the policy holder instead of the dividends of the shareholders.

Settling millions of dollars in insurance claims over the past 25 years would not have been possible if it were not for the positive referrals from our clients. Property Adjustment Corporation aims to be your adjuster for life and looks forward to another 25 years of helping home and business property owners.

We are extremely grateful for being able to help the many local households and want to spend the next year giving back to the community in a personal way.

This weekend is set to be the coldest in the past few years with temperatures dropping to the single digits overnight. While we know to bundle ourselves up to keep warm many people forget to check to make sure their pipes stay warm as well.

Ice forming in a pipe does not typically cause a break where the ice blockage occurs. After a complete ice blockage in a pipe, continued freezing and expansion inside the pipe causes water pressure to increase downstream — between the ice blockage and a closed faucet at the end. Usually the pipe bursts where little or no ice has formed.

Here are some tips to help avoid this common cause of winter property damage:

How to Prevent Frozen Pipes
• Pipes that have frozen in the past or near exterior walls are obvious candidates for special attention.
• Insulate areas where vulnerable pipes are located.
• When insulation isn’t enough, consider pipe wrappings embedded with electrical coils (heat tape) that provide an outside source of heat.
• Remove hoses from outside yard faucets. The faucets can’t drain properly with a hose attached and will freeze and break if the hose is left attached.
• During severe cold weather, resist the urge to lower your thermostat to save money while you are gone for the day.
• Open the doors to kitchen and bathroom cabinets under your sinks so heat from the room will help warm the pipes.
• Running water does not freeze very readily. During severe cold weather, keep a stream of water trickling out of faucets or spouts attached to vulnerable pipes.
• If you have a sprinkler system, drain all outdoor pipes and turn off the water supply to the system

What To Do If A Pipe Freezes
• To prevent a frozen pipe from bursting, open the faucet it supplies with water. Then add heat to the area where the pipe is located.
• Turn off the water supply to that line.
• If a pipe does burst, immediately turn off the water to your home.
• Know where your main water emergency shut-off valve is located.
