Commercial Flood Claims – Even minor leaks and floods cause significant damage, hampering business operations and adding to the burden of dealing with your insurance company.

Here’s what one of our satisfied clients had to say:
"The Insurance claim process was very stressful as I tried to do it alone and failed. The saying horses for courses is true as Oakleaf knew their stuff. I am grratful for Dean especially as he was a true saviour for me... I recommend these guys but get them in early to help and try not do it yourself." - Dee Gee, Oakleafe client on TrustPilot

Another satisfied client shares their experience:
"I knew that I needed the support of a Loss Assessor to cope with the consequences of the house fire. Thank goodness I found Oakleafe Claims and James Christie who supported me through the entire arduous claims process.
James not only provided invaluable knowledge and expertise, but he was also there providing me with his moral support too – at a time when I felt very vulnerable and alone. Without James and Oakleafe, the insurance company’s loss adjuster would have taken unfair advantage of their power, which would not only have resulted in a significantly lower settlement, but I would have endured even higher emotional stresses and strains. James gave me peace of mind, at a time when I needed it most!" - S. Smith, Oakleafe client
From the moment we engaged their services, we were impressed by the level of professionalism and efficiency
Do not be fooled that your insurance company will help you. They tried their best not to pay our claim. Oakleafe saved our livelihoods and our business is better and stronger than it was before. We’ve just received our final payment from the claim and we are really pleased. I would happily recommend them.
Dealt with my Insurance company like true professionals. Definitely got my maximum entitlement and as a result my business has come back stronger and more profitable.
Commercial flood insurance provides coverage for physical damage to your business property caused by flooding. This includes damage to the building structure and its contents.
It covers direct physical losses resulting from flooding, such as structural damage to buildings, damage to furniture and equipment, and damage to inventory. It may also cover some types of water damage caused by overflow or accumulation.
The time can vary, but generally, the process includes an initial report, an assessment by an adjuster, and then a review by the insurance company before a settlement is offered. This can take from a few weeks to several months.
If your claim is denied, review the denial letter carefully to understand the reasons. You can appeal the decision by providing additional documentation or working with a loss assessor like Oakleafe Claims to dispute the denial.
You can ensure a successful commercial flood claim by keeping thorough documentation, reporting the claim promptly, preventing further damage, and being prepared to negotiate with your insurer if the initial settlement is insufficient.
Using a claims management company like Oakleafe to manage your claim also increases your chances of a successful, as well as increasing the claim settlement payout.
