Melbourne Water Restoration Pros provides professional storm claim documentation in Melbourne, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Space Coast. Florida wind claims turn on one question: did the storm make an opening first? Most policies cover rain that entered through damage the wind caused and exclude rain that simply blew in. Proving which one you had is documentation work, and it happens before the tear-out.
So the first hour on a storm loss belongs to a camera. The lifted shingle, the torn boot, the daylight through the deck, the run marks on the framing, the meter readings by room with a date on them. Once the tarp comes off and the roofer has worked, that evidence no longer exists.
The deadlines changed recently and people still miss them. Under current Florida law a hurricane or windstorm claim has to be reported within one year of the date of loss, with a further window for supplemental claims. Waiting for the ceiling to get worse so the claim looks bigger is how people lose it entirely.
Named-storm deductibles are the other surprise. That deductible is a percentage of the dwelling limit rather than a flat figure, so on a modest Melbourne house it frequently runs to several thousand dollars, and a small interior loss can land underneath it. We will tell you when a claim is not worth filing.
What we do and do not do is worth stating plainly. We write the scope, take the readings, photograph the cause and the damage, and talk to the adjuster about the drying. We are not adjusters and we do not negotiate settlements. For a large or disputed loss, that is the point to bring in a licensed public adjuster.
A word on the scope itself. We write what the drying and the repair genuinely require and we do not pad it, because an inflated line item is the fastest way to hand a carrier a reason to fight the whole file. A defensible scope with daily readings behind it gets paid far more often than an ambitious one does.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — neoprene pipe boots, OSB and plywood roof sheathing, blown fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation, self-adhered secondary water barrier, ridge and off-ridge vent flashing, penetrating pin moisture meters — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Melbourne and nearby communities including Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Melbourne Beach, Indialantic.

Materials, equipment and how we do storm claim documentation
The difference between storm claim documentation that lasts and storm claim documentation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with neoprene pipe boots, OSB and plywood roof sheathing, blown fiberglass and cellulose attic insulation, self-adhered secondary water barrier, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Melbourne job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of water damage work in the Space Coast means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
