Flood Adjusting
A two (2) day course is designed for the adjuster
with 4+ year’s experience.
Floods are the most common natural disaster in the U.S. and can occur almost anywhere. Deployment to flood areas is not typical for catastrophe adjusters; therefore, the adjuster will tend to struggle with accurate claim production or they are reluctant to accept the deployment assignment at all. This two (2) day course will provide necessary guidelines helpful to alleviate the concerns and perception of writing a flood claim. Our training consists of policy interpretation, proper inspection techniques, agency protocols and how to write an accurate flood file using Xactimate 25.4.
THIS IS NOT AN NFIP CERTIFICATION – ADJUSTERS MUST OBTAIN NFIP CERTIFICATION BEFORE FLOOD FILES WILL BE ASSIGNED
