After a flood, your insurance adjuster should be a trusted partner in your recovery — but scammers may look to take advantage of that trust. Stay alert. 1/4

Keep these things in mind: - Verify their credentials before the inspection begins. - Adjusters will never ask for your Social Security number or bank details. - You should not be charged for an adjusters visit. 3/4
