Policy First
Water losses live and die on policy language — sudden and accidental versus long-term seepage, coverage limits, mold sublimits, ordinance and law. We read yours before presenting anything.

Water Damage Insurance Claims, Handled for the Policyholder

What We’re Usually Called For
Water Claims We Are Usually Called About
Water keeps moving after the leak stops, and so does the argument about what the policy owes. Both are easier to win with documentation.
- A burst or failed supply line, water heater, dishwasher or washing machine
- A slow, hidden leak that was only found once the damage showed
- Heavy rain or storm water that got inside the building
- A loss shared between a unit owner and a condominium association
- Mold or unseen damage the carrier's scope left out
- A drying or repair estimate the carrier will not pay in full
What Happens Next
How a Water Damage Claim Gets Built
The sequence below is what separates a documented water claim from a disputed one.
Document What the Water Reached
Affected rooms, materials, cabinetry, flooring, contents and the parts of the loss that are behind walls. We capture it while it is still there to capture.
Build the Scope and the Numbers
Mitigation, repairs, contents and any additional living expense are put into a claim the carrier's adjuster can evaluate line by line.
Negotiate and Coordinate the Recovery
We handle inspections and correspondence, negotiate the settlement, and coordinate with restoration and repair vendors so the property moves forward.

Representation & Fees
No Recovery, No Fee
We are the policyholder's advocate — never the insurance company's. Your carrier's adjuster works for your carrier. We work only for you, and we are paid on a contingency fee out of the recovery.
If we do not secure a payout on your claim, you owe us nothing. What we will not do is guess at your policy for you or promise a number before we have read it and documented the loss.

FAQ
Common Questions
What Does a Public Adjuster Actually Do?
A public adjuster is licensed by the State of California to represent the policyholder — not the insurer — on an insurance claim. On a water damage claim we read the policy, document the damage, prepare and present the claim, and negotiate the settlement with your carrier.
What Does It Cost?
We work on a contingency fee agreed in writing before we start, and our promise is No Recovery, No Fee — if we do not secure a payout, you owe us nothing.
Can You Help if I Already Filed and Got an Offer?
Often, yes. Claims can be reopened, supplemented or disputed while they are within policy and statutory time limits. Bring us the offer, the estimate and the policy and we will tell you honestly whether there is room.
Are You the Insurance Company?
No. We are independent of every carrier. Golden Coast Claims is retained by you and answers only to you.
Who Will Handle My Claim?
Patrick Robison, owner and licensed California public adjuster (license CA 2L64406), and the Golden Coast Claims team.
The Carrier Says My Leak Was Long-Term. Is That the End of It?
Not necessarily. How a leak is characterized decides how the policy applies, and that characterization is frequently arguable. It is one of the most common reasons a water claim needs representation.
