August: Peak Summer & Hurricane Season in Florida 🌴🌪️

August is the peak of summer—and hurricane season—in the Sunshine State. Scorching temperatures, frequent thunderstorms, and the looming threat of tropical storms mean it’s not just about staying cool—it’s about staying covered.

At Compass Claim Solutions, we’re your Tampa Bay-based team of experienced public adjusters. We know firsthand how Florida’s weather extremes can expose vulnerabilities in your home—and your insurance coverage.

This month, we’re focusing on two critical—and often overlooked—threats: roof damage and plumbing issues.

1️⃣ Roof Damage: How Heat + Storms Can Cost You More

Florida’s intense August sun can degrade roofing materials, while sudden rainstorms can exploit even minor weaknesses. That’s a recipe for leaks, water intrusion, and storm-related damage—often far more costly than it first appears.

What We Do:

  • Perform a comprehensive inspection, combining routine leak checks with post-storm assessments.
  • Document and value every repairable area, including hidden damage beneath shingles or in attics.
  • Ensure your insurance claim reflects the full replacement cost, not just patch repairs.

2️⃣ Plumbing Leaks: Silent Threats in the Heat

Hidden plumbing leaks can cause costly damage and mold growth if left untreated.

High temperatures and shifting humidity can cause weak piping to crack or joints to fail. Left unchecked, these leaks can lead to mold, structural damage, and escalating repair costs.

How We Help:

  • Conduct a thorough review of your plumbing system, including hidden areas.
  • File or reopen claims—even for denied or underpaid leaks.
  • Include secondary damage coverage, such as mold remediation or interior restoration, in your claim.

Why Acting in August Matters

Insurance companies can delay or deny new coverage once storms are forecast. Acting before the seasonal pressure builds gives you a clear advantage.
