Building Collapse
Claim
A building can collapse suddenly. Floors give way, walls crack, and an entire property turns to rubble. For an owner, this always results in unexpected and painful financial losses. But money isn’t the only problem. At a moment when life seems destroyed, the owner often faces the indifference of the insurance company. Instead of support — there’s delay, lowball estimates, and refusal to cover loss of use damages.
On-Site Adjusting is a team of licensed public claims adjusters and restoration contractors. We document every loss through a total loss inventory, identify hidden damages, and show the true extent of the destruction so you can receive proper compensation.
We work for YOU – not your insurance company.

Why Is Your Residential or Commercial Building Collapse Claim Turning Into a Nightmare?
Insurance companies profit by paying out as little as possible. Their adjusters focus on minimizing what they owe — not helping you. After a building collapse, you are left battling a system that’s NOT built to support you.
Top Problems Homeowners Face When Filing a Claim
Claim denial
The insurer looks for loopholes to claim that your building collapse isn’t covered — saying the cause of the destruction doesn’t meet the policy terms.
Lowball estimate from the insurer
Unlike a residential or commercial claims adjuster, the insurer ignores hidden consequences. They “don’t see” that the collapse damaged structural components or utility systems.
Delay tactics
You’re offered a “quick check” — a tiny amount, but immediately. The calculation is simple: you’re exhausted, scared, and ready to accept anything.
No matter what’s happening with your claim, we know exactly what to do.
When Should You Call On-Site Adjusting?
“They gave me a ridiculous offer…”
The insurer’s adjuster isn’t looking out for you. If something feels off, don’t settle. Call us for an independent damage assessment.
“The building just collapsed. What should I do?”
Call us first — before contacting your insurance company. Acting quickly protects your rights and prevents the insurer from blaming you for delays.
Building collapses are covered by insurance if hidden decay is proven (photos, videos, engineering reports, laboratory material analyses, etc.). If not, the insurance company will not approve a compensation payout. This is the main reason for involving a public adjuster immediately after the incident. Waiting a few days or a week will make it much more difficult to pursue such a residential or commercial insurance claim. The specialist will document hidden damages as quickly as possible and prepare irrefutable evidence.
Every day you delay benefits the insurer.
Don’t let that happen. Call now to secure your payout and quality restoration services.
One Call to On-Site Adjusting — and We Handle It From There
From this moment on, you no longer need to argue, prove, and waste your time. We handle negotiations and will stay with you until all work is fully completed.
How do we work?
Step 1. Providing Comprehensive Emergency Services
Before we handle documents or negotiation and settlement, we protect the property and stop further damage.
Here’s what we do:
- Initial collapse assessment. Rapid inspection to identify immediate risks to people and property.
- Emergency debris removal. Quick debris cleanup and structural stabilization to prevent additional collapses.
- Property protection. Boarding up broken windows and doors, protection from weather, vandalism, and secondary damages, removal of hazardous elements, installation of shoring and fencing, and temporary barricades for safety.
- Hidden structural risks. Detecting foundation cracks and damaged utility systems that the insurance company usually ignores.
Step 2. Adjusting & Securing the Maximum Payout for Your Insurance Claim
We’re not the kind of loss adjusting company that just sends a bill to the insurer. We make them cover the actual cost of the damage. How?
- Policy analysis. We identify the points of your insurance coverage that apply to your case.
- Documenting the consequences. We prepare a detailed report of the full scope of damages, including loss of use damages, and complete the Proof of Loss.
- Cost assessment. We calculate the actual cost of restoration after the collapse, which may not be in the insurer’s best interest — but it’s fair to you.
- Negotiation and settlement. We present the insurance company with solid, irrefutable evidence. We don’t stop until you receive a fair settlement.
Step 3. Providing Property Damage Restoration
Once the funds are approved, it’s time for restoration. Because we’ve already done the assessment, we know exactly where to start.
Here’s what we do:
- Code-compliant rebuilding. Safe removal of hazardous debris, replacement of damaged floors, walls, roofing, and foundation elements.
- Non-structural asset restoration. Assessment of damaged property (appliances, furniture, interior) and securing compensation for full replacement.
- Full restoration under one contractor. Restoring the property to the condition it was in before the collapse. We do this quickly, safely, and within the agreed budget.
Rules and regulations regarding public adjusters being restoration contractors change by state
In Illinois, OSA can provide both public adjusting and restoration services on the same claim.
In Wisconsin and California, we cannot legally provide both services on the same claim — but we do maintain a trusted network of restoration contractors and can offer the right partner for your situation.

Partnership With On-Site Adjusting — No Headaches
Your insurance providers will likely send their preferred vendors — mitigation companies or contractors who work for the insurance companies and are paid by them. These vendors serve the insurer’s interests, not yours. Their goal is to cut costs for the insurer, leaving you with low-quality repairs and ongoing issues. We work solely for you.

The reality of life when it comes to property damage 🫠
Most homeowners don’t realize how much insurance company language affects their payout 🤯
A simple water-damage report can turn into delays, confusion, or a lower offer — not because you’re not covered, but because the wording makes you think you aren’t.
That’s where a public adjuster makes the difference.
We explain the process clearly, gather the right documentation, and make sure your claim reflects what actually happened — not what it’s labeled as.
