The moment you suspect vandalism, contact 21st Century Public Adjusters. Why? Because how your claim is presented can make or break your case. We guide you through each step, starting with the most crucial one—getting everything documented and properly organized from the outset.
You should also call the police immediately. Filing a police report creates an official record that not only validates your insurance claim but may also reveal hidden damage or point to a suspect, especially if the vandalism was caused by someone who had access to the property—like a current or former tenant.
Vandalism Is More Than Just Spray Paint
Most people think of vandalism as graffiti or broken windows. But it often runs deeper. We’ve encountered cases where former tenants removed appliances, poured concrete down drains, or even stripped a home of HVAC systems and doors. These aren’t just random acts—they’re calculated attempts to cause damage, and the impact on property value can be severe.
That’s why our process includes a thorough walkthrough of your property, documenting every damaged or missing item from floor to ceiling, room by room. With police reports, before-and-after photos, and a carefully prepared claim presentation, we ensure your story is told clearly and compellingly.
Real-Life Stories, Real Results
In Trenton, one homeowner returned to find their property destroyed—broken windows, missing appliances, and vandalized interiors. At first, it looked like a random break-in. But further investigation revealed that someone with a key, likely a former tenant, had caused the damage. We helped this client work with police, document everything, and secure compensation to repair their home.
In another case in Scranton, a family returned from vacation to find their home had been used for multiple parties. The home was trashed, personal items destroyed, and even their vehicle had been stolen. Our team jumped in, guided the client through the claim, and helped them secure temporary housing while their case was processed.
