Please be aware of bad players in the area. A lot of folks are in need of a helping hand right now so go with your gut.
Ask for credentials, a permit, let them know they are being recorded. Stay Vigilant NWI!

⚠️ SCAM ALERT — REGION RESIDENTS ⚠️

Local official’s are warning residents about door-to-door scammers claiming they are collecting money to help “bring in” or fund the Indiana National Guard.

This is a scam. Do not give these individuals money or any personal or financial information.

The Indiana National Guard is a state resource, and its deployment is authorized and funded through the state. Residents and businesses are NOT responsible for paying for Guard assistance.

The Town or City is also not charging residents for National Guard assistance, storm cleanup, or other emergency response services related to the August 11 storm.

No legitimate town official, emergency responder, or National Guard member will go door-to-door soliciting cash payments.

If someone approaches you asking for money:

* Do not provide cash, payment, banking information, or personal information.

* Ask for identification.

* Note a description of the person and any vehicle involved.

* Report the incident immediately to police.

Unfortunately, scammers often attempt to take advantage of communities following major disasters. Residents should rely on official sources for information regarding storm recovery and emergency operations.

🇺🇸 NATIONAL GUARD DEBRIS REMOVAL

National Guard members have begun assisting Lake County communities with tree and debris removal today.

The Guard cannot enter private property. Residents should move tree debris to the area closest to the roadway without placing it in the roadway, where crews can access it.

Anyone with urgent needs or damage related to the August 11 storm can call 211 or visit IN211.org for assistance.

Please share this information, especially with elderly or vulnerable neighbors who could be targeted by scammers.

CLIENT CAPACITY UPDATE

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming amount of trust and support our community has shown us, especially following the recent storms.

At this time, Viking Public Adjusters has reached full capacity and will temporarily not be accepting new clients.

We’ve always believed that if we take on your claim, you deserve our full attention, not to become another name on an endless list. Rather than continue accepting new claims and risk compromising the level of service our existing clients deserve, we’ve made the decision to temporarily pause new client intake.

Our team is working hard to take care of every homeowner who has already placed their trust in us. As soon as additional availability opens, we will make an announcement.

To our current clients: We’re here, we’re working, and we’ve got you.

To everyone who has called, messaged, referred a friend, or recommended Viking—thank you. The support from Northwest Indiana has been incredible.

⚠️ NWI — PLEASE BE SMART WITH PORTABLE GENERATORS. ⚠️

With so many people without power after the storms, portable generators are running everywhere. They’re incredibly useful, but carbon monoxide can kill you before you ever realize something is wrong.

A few reminders that could literally save a life:
Lives were lost during the last large power outage due to inexperienced generator users. So here’s a small crash course that can make the difference.

⚡ NEVER run a generator inside your home, garage, basement, shed, or enclosed porch, even with the door open.

⚡ Keep generators at least 20 feet away from the house and point the exhaust AWAY from doors, windows, and vents.

⚡ Make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors inside your home, especially near sleeping areas.

⚡ Keep generators DRY. Don’t operate one in standing water or exposed directly to rain.

⚡ NEVER plug a generator directly into a wall outlet. This can backfeed power into utility lines and potentially electrocute a lineman working to restore power.

⚡️ MAKE SURE YOUR GENERATOR IS GROUNDED!
a quick google search will help you figure out how to do so properly

⚡ If powering your home through a generator inlet, use a properly installed transfer switch or interlock system.

⚡ Turn the generator OFF and let it cool before refueling. Gasoline spilled onto a hot engine can ignite.

⚡ Use heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cords that are properly sized for the load.

⚡ Don’t overload the generator. Know its running and starting wattage limits.

There are a lot of exhausted homeowners, contractors, first responders, tree crews, and utility workers out there right now. The power being out is an inconvenience. A generator used incorrectly can turn it into a tragedy.

Please share this with anyone currently running a portable generator.

Stay safe, NWI. We’ll get through the cleanup together. ⚡💪

We are getting back to everyone as quickly as we possibly can. After a major storm, the calls and messages come in fast, and unfortunately we can’t always get to every home immediately.

If we aren’t available right when you need us, PLEASE do the following:

📸 1. TAKE PICTURES — LOTS OF THEM!
I cannot stress this enough. Pictures are extremely important during the insurance claims process.

Before cleaning up or moving anything, safely photograph:
• Damage to your roof, siding, gutters, windows, doors, etc.
• Fallen trees and limbs
• Water intrusion and leaks
• Interior ceiling/wall damage
• Damaged personal property
• Debris around the property
• Hailstones — put something next to them for size reference
• Anything that looks different or damaged after the storm

Take wide-angle pictures AND close-ups. You would much rather have too many photos than wish later that you had taken one.

🛑 2. DON’T START THROWING THINGS AWAY YET
Unless something creates a health or safety hazard, document damaged property before disposing of it. If it has to be removed, take plenty of pictures first.

🏠 3. PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE
If it can be done safely, take reasonable temporary measures to protect your property — tarping an exposed area, moving belongings away from incoming water, placing buckets under leaks, etc.

Do NOT climb onto a wet, damaged, or questionable roof. Your safety is more important than getting a picture.

🧾 4. KEEP EVERY RECEIPT
If you have to purchase tarps, plywood, supplies, pay for emergency services, or incur other storm-related expenses, SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS.

📞 5. DON’T FEEL PRESSURED TO MAKE IMMEDIATE DECISIONS
The damage already happened. Take the time to properly document everything and understand what you’re dealing with before making major repair decisions.

⚠️ MOST IMPORTANTLY — STAY SAFE.
Downed power lines, unstable trees, damaged structures, standing water and wet roofs can be extremely dangerous.

We’re working our way through NWI and will get to as many people as we possibly can.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS. AND TAKE PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES! 📸

We’ve been so busy this year with claims that we may have forgotten our 2nd Birthday on July 20th. 😬
We’ve been working hard on getting people back whole, that sometimes these things pass us by.
Thanks to everyone that’s supports Viking and yells our name from their (brand new) rooftops. It literally means the world to me and I feel the Love. Being able to do what I’m passionate about makes this path all the sweeter and for that I’ll fight tooth and nail.
Cheers to 2 Years in Business!
🤘🏼😎

On today’s episode
Me and the gang have an adjustment on an organic three tab with wind damage. We’re gonna see if Big Red understands that even minimal damage means full replacement due to that material being discontinued.
