Short answer: After a flood, storm or other loss, an elevator insurance claim evaluation documents which components were damaged, what must be repaired or replaced and what it should reasonably cost. IEI gives owners and adjusters an independent, photo-backed scope so the claim reflects the real damage.
Common elevator losses in Florida
- Pit and machine flooding from storm surge or water intrusion
- Controller damage from power surges
- Hoistway water damage from roof or façade leaks
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my elevator pit floods?
Remove the elevator from service, have your elevator company assess it before restoring power, photograph everything and notify your insurer. An independent evaluation helps document the full scope of damage.
