Beyond the immediate cleanup, a major water loss can weaken foundations, damage electrical and mechanical systems, and trigger long-term issues like mold and structural instability.

A large-scale water disaster can destroy a property in ways that aren’t immediately visible, so major water losses require meticulous documentation and expert valuation. Our team uncovers hidden damage, calculates the true cost of restoration, and negotiates directly with the insurance carrier–in ways that water restoration experts are legally barred from doing.
Don’t let a major water loss sink your recovery. Contact Cleveland Public Adjusters to evaluate the scope of your damage and steer your water claim toward the full settlement you deserve.
The North Ridge Sports Complex has been a premier sporting destination in Northeast Ohio since 1973. When a nearby creek overflowed, more than two feet of water flooded the facility. The indoor tennis courts and golf simulators were left in ruins.
The owner turned to Cleveland Public Adjusters for help. The claim was routed through the National Flood Insurance Program and Federal Emergency Management Agency — a process known for its complexity and limited payouts. Without an advocate, the facility would have been left with coverage for only surface cleanup and repainting.
Our team took a different approach. We brought in three independent tennis court construction experts, who confirmed the bubbling under the court surfaces would cause long-term structural failure. We also documented damage to the facility’s sports equipment and incorporated it into the claim.
Armed with detailed reports and expert evaluations, we negotiated directly with FEMA. By interpreting NFIP policy language and presenting clear evidence, we secured a full settlement that went far beyond the insurer’s initial scope — one that truly covered the damage and restored the business.
