Why Water Damage Claims Are So Stressful (and How We Help)

A water damage insurance claim can turn your routine upside down. You’re suddenly faced with endless calls, forms, and a process that feels stacked against you. Insurers may delay, underpay, or question every detail—often using complex policy language to minimise your payout.

At PCLA, we act for you, not the insurer. We handle everything—from documenting the damage and submitting your home insurance claim, to negotiating with your insurer (including Aviva, Direct Line, and others common in Edinburgh). You’ll get a dedicated local expert who manages all the evidence, paperwork, and meetings, so you can get back to normal life sooner.
