Public Adjusters in Columbia, SC

Columbia sits in the center of South Carolina, roughly 125 miles from the Atlantic coast — far enough that many residents underestimate their hurricane risk. In reality, tropical systems weakened after landfall still carry enormous amounts of moisture when they reach the state's interior, and stalled storm systems can produce rainfall that overwhelms the Midlands' river systems. The October 2015 South Carolina floods — caused by a combination of a slow-moving low pressure system and the remnants of Hurricane Joaquin — dumped record rainfall across the state and caused the Congaree, Saluda, and Wateree rivers to breach their banks, affecting thousands of homes in the Columbia metro. Many homeowners discovered that their standard homeowners policy did not cover the flooding, and the claims environment that followed was contentious.
