New Jersey has more homes being built in flood-risk zones than any other state, and Cape May County sits at the top of the list for vulnerability for widespread and substantial flooding. The risk is especially high in areas like Wildwood and neighboring towns, where most properties are seasonal rentals or second homes that sit vacant from September to May.
When fall storms roll in, these empty properties are highly susceptible to flooding, fire, mold growth, frozen pipes, and other costly damages. For seasonal businesses like yours, a single incident can jeopardize your entire year’s revenue. This is where a leading Cape May County public adjuster, United Public Adjusters & Appraisers, becomes your most invaluable ally.
1. High Vulnerability to Natural Disasters
Cape May’s coastal location makes it a prime target for hurricanes, nor’easters, and storm surges. Common claims include:
- Frozen or burst copper pipes
- Mold from undetected water leaks
- Ice damming and collapsed ceilings
- Wind, flood, and storm surge damage
- Fire and smoke, especially in boardwalk areas
- Common losses incurred are primarily due to:
- Storm surge and flood damage
- Mold and water damage from delayed detection
- Business interruption losses during peak season
- Fire and smoke (especially on or near the boardwalk)
United Public Adjusters & Appraisers (UPA) identifies not only visible damage, but also hidden and potential losses to ensure your claim covers the full scope of repair and restoration costs.
2. Complex Business Interruption Claims
Seasonal businesses depend on a short operating window—losing even a few weeks can mean significant financial loss. As your public adjuster in Cape May County NJ, UPA helps by:
- Calculating lost revenue, lost clientele, and related expenses
- Securing coverage for temporary facilities
- Coordinating operational workarounds to reduce downtime
