Who this page is for

Homeowners and property owners after house fires, smoke damage, soot contamination, contents damage, water damage from firefighting, or underpaid fire claims.

A fire claim may require reviewing building damage, hidden smoke impact, contents, cleaning, demolition, code, and additional living expense issues. Charter Claims helps policyholders avoid accepting an estimate that only tells part of the story.

  • The insurance payment is lower than your contractor’s repair estimate
  • The carrier denied or partially denied parts of the claim
  • The adjuster missed roof, exterior, interior, water, fire, smoke, or code-related damage
  • The claim is delayed, confusing, or stuck in repeated inspections
  • You want a policyholder-side review before accepting the insurance company’s answer

Fire and smoke damage inside a property

Fire claims are complicated, and low estimates can miss major costs.

A fire claim may require reviewing building damage, hidden smoke impact, contents, cleaning, demolition, code, and additional living expense issues. Charter Claims helps policyholders avoid accepting an estimate that only tells part of the story.

The insurance company’s adjuster works for them. Charter Claims works for policyholders.

What Charter Claims reviews

Every claim is different, but the goal is the same: find out whether the carrier’s answer reflects the real damage and the policyholder’s covered loss.

Fire and structural damage

We review the damage, estimate, documentation, and claim status to identify what the insurance company may have missed.

Smoke, soot, and odor damage

We review the damage, estimate, documentation, and claim status to identify what the insurance company may have missed.

Water damage from firefighting

We review the damage, estimate, documentation, and claim status to identify what the insurance company may have missed.

Contents and personal property concerns

We review the damage, estimate, documentation, and claim status to identify what the insurance company may have missed.

ALE / temporary housing claim issues

We review the damage, estimate, documentation, and claim status to identify what the insurance company may have missed.

Policyholder advocacy

You do not have to take the insurance company’s estimate as the final word.

Charter Claims can inspect the damage, review the estimate, prepare documentation, communicate with the insurance company, and help pursue additional money when the claim supports it.
