When your fence collapses—whether from a storm, accident, or natural wear and tear—it can feel like a small disaster. But here’s the thing: documenting the damage properly can make or break your insurance claim. If you’re not sure where to start, don’t worry. We’re diving deep into how to document damage from a collapsed fence like a pro. And if you need help, LMR Public Adjusters—South Florida’s premier public adjusters—are here to advocate for you every step of the way.
Let’s be real—insurance companies aren’t always eager to hand over money. That’s why documenting damage from a collapsed fence is more than just snapping a few photos. It’s about building a solid case that proves your loss and justifies your claim.
Think of it like this: if your fence was a witness in court, your documentation is its testimony. Without it, your claim might fall flat. Insurance adjusters need clear, detailed evidence to process your claim efficiently. And if you’re dealing with storm-related damage, like wind damage or water damage, the stakes are even higher.
At LMR Public Adjusters, we’ve seen too many homeowners miss out on fair compensation simply because they didn’t document properly. Our property claims experts help you avoid those pitfalls by guiding you through every step.
So, before you start repairs or toss out debris, remember: documentation first, cleanup second.
Okay, your fence just gave up the ghost. Now what? First things first—stay calm. Then follow these steps to get the ball rolling:
Also, don’t forget to check if the damage is linked to other issues like plumbing damage or mold damage. These could be part of a larger claim.
And if you’re in South Florida, we’ve got local experts in your area—from Fort Lauderdale to Pembroke Pines—ready to help.
Now comes the fun part—playing detective. Grab your phone or camera and get ready to document like a pro. Here’s how to do it right:
Start with wide-angle photos that show the entire fence line. This gives context to the damage and shows the scale of the collapse.
Next, take close-ups of broken boards, bent posts, or any signs of rot or rust. If there’s debris from a storm, capture that too. And don’t forget to photograph any nearby damage to your home or commercial property.
Make sure your photos are time-stamped. Most smartphones do this automatically, but double-check. It helps prove when the damage occurred.
A short video walkthrough can be incredibly powerful. Narrate what happened, point out specific damage, and explain any safety concerns.
