Public Adjuster Insight

  Protecting Your Home Colorado homeowners face significant wildfire risks due to the state's climate, topography, and vegetation patterns. Creating defensible space around your home forms the foundation of effective wildfire protection. This starts with Zone 1 (0-5 feet from your house), which should remain completely clear of flammable materials, using gravel or hardscaping instead.

Cover all vents with 1/8-inch metal mesh to block ember entry, as embers often travel miles ahead of the main fire. Install multi-paned windows with temp...

  When wildfires rage across California's landscape, the immediate destruction from flames often captures headlines. However, smoke damage—the less visible but equally devastating consequence—can affect businesses miles away from the actual fire. Understanding how smoke damages commercial properties and navigating the complex claims process in California requires specific knowledge and strategic approaches. How Smoke Damages Businesses Physical Property Damage Smoke particles are remarkably invasive and can penetrate virtually every area of a commercial space.
