Freeze Damage Claims
Frozen pipes, ice dams, and sudden water intrusion can wreak havoc on your property—causing damage that spreads fast and gets worse with time. At Valor Claims Solutions, we handle freeze and water-related claims with urgency, technical precision, and a commitment to full recovery.
What Freeze & Water Damage Really Looks Like
Freeze damage isn’t always dramatic at first—but its impact can be extensive. Burst pipes behind walls, saturated insulation, warped floors, collapsed ceilings, and mold growth are all common consequences. Ice dams and severe cold can also damage roofing systems, gutters, and interior finishes—making immediate documentation and mitigation essential to your claim.
Why Freeze Claims are Often Underpaid
Carriers frequently minimize the scope of freeze and water damage, claiming it’s pre-existing or unrelated to the covered peril. They may also approve only cosmetic repairs, ignoring hidden water intrusion, structural impact, or the need for mold remediation.
Hidden Damage Dismissed or Missed
Water damage inside walls, under flooring, or in ceilings often goes undetected without invasive inspection—leading to under-scoped claims.
Mold and Remediation Excluded or Limited
Many policies limit or exclude mold coverage entirely, and carriers often deny full remediation costs, even when mold is a direct result of the covered loss.
Code Upgrades Not Included
When plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs require code-compliant upgrades, these are often left out of the initial settlement—putting the burden on the property owner.
Delayed Reporting Used Against Policyholder
Carriers may argue that damage was worsened by delayed mitigation or late reporting, reducing their payout obligation—even when notice was prompt.

Estimate Development & Supporting Evidence
We build a detailed estimate with line items for drying, repairs, mitigation, structural replacement, and code upgrades as needed.
Carrier Submission & Negotiation
Our team communicates directly with your adjuster, pushing back against low scopes and policy misinterpretations.
