Common Property Damage Problems We See in St. Petersburg
Storm and Flooding Losses
Coastal living in St. Petersburg often brings storm surges and flooding risks. We make sure insurers do not downplay the cost of cleanup and repair.
Fire and Smoke Damage
Fires leave destruction that extends beyond the flames. Our lawyers fight to include smoke damage and structural issues in your settlement.
Plumbing and Water Leaks
Burst pipes and leaks can cause severe damage to homes and condos across the city. We help you hold your insurer accountable for full coverage.
Protecting Your Property Before Damage Happens
Preparation can make a big difference when it comes time to file a claim. In St. Petersburg, where storms and water damage are common, keeping detailed records of property upgrades, repairs, and receipts helps strengthen your case. Routine documentation, such as photos and maintenance logs, can shut down an insurer’s attempt to deny coverage. At Cernitz Law, we remind clients that the best time to prepare for a claim is before damage strikes.
