The public adjuster Pasco County calls when the Gulf pushes back

From the canal-front cottages of Gulf Harbors and Hudson Beach to the newer builds of Trinity and Wesley Chapel, Armada represents New Port Richey and Pasco County policyholders — never insurance companies. Surge, wind, water, sinkholes: we document the loss and fight for every dollar your policy owes.

Local knowledge wins claims

What damages Pasco County homes

Twice in thirteen months, the Gulf came ashore in Pasco County without a hurricane ever making landfall here. In August 2023, Hurricane Idalia passed far offshore and still drove several feet of storm surge into coastal neighborhoods — flooding homes from Hudson Beach to downtown New Port Richey and forcing roughly 150 water rescues. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene did it again from even farther out at sea: nearly 200 overnight high-water rescues, with Gulf Harbors among the hardest-hit neighborhoods and some residents driven onto their own rooftops.

That is the defining risk of this coastline: low-lying, canal-front streets in Gulf Harbors, Hudson Beach, Port Richey and Holiday where a storm that never touches Pasco can still put three feet of salt water in your living room. A public adjuster in Pasco County, FL has to understand surge claims — separate flood policies, strict documentation rules, carriers arguing over whether wind or water struck first — or your settlement suffers for it.

The ground is no gentler than the Gulf. Pasco sits in Florida's "Sinkhole Alley" — the same limestone karst that runs under our home base in Hernando County next door. Stair-step cracks in block walls, sticking doors and settling slabs are weekly work for us, not exotic cases. And the housing stock splits the county in two: decades-old waterfront cottages and stilt homes along US-19, and newer slab-on-grade communities inland in Trinity and Wesley Chapel. Different construction, different policies, different carrier excuses — the same need for someone on your side of the table.

Armada has recovered more than $30,000,000 for Florida policyholders. We're bilingual in English and Spanish, and when the same storms rake the rest of the bay, we fight claims in Tampa and across all 67 Florida counties.

Just up US-19. Not out of state.

Our headquarters is at 213 Della Ct in Spring Hill — one county up the coast from New Port Richey. When we schedule your inspection, it's a short drive for licensed Florida public adjusters, not a rotation for somebody's traveling catastrophe team.

Surge is not wind

One storm. Two policies.

When wind and rising water arrive together — the way they did along the Pasco coast with Idalia and Helene — your recovery usually splits across two policies. Your homeowners policy responds to wind damage; rising water generally falls to a separate flood policy. That split gives carriers room to point each policy at the other while your repairs wait. Here's how a Pasco County public adjuster closes that gap:

Wind first, or water first?

We establish the sequence of damage and hold each policy to its share — no finger-pointing between carriers.

Flood documentation done right

Flood claims carry strict proof-of-loss requirements that sink honest claims when they're filed loosely.

The damage you can't see yet

Salt water wicks up drywall and into insulation long after the street drains. We document it before it's painted over.

Already settled for less?

If your Idalia or Helene payout didn't come close to real repair costs, a closed claim can often be supplemented — or taken to appraisal.

The first offer is an opening bid.

One of our clients was offered $5,000 for a leaking roof. Armada took the claim through appraisal — and he got a full roof replacement instead. That's the difference between accepting the carrier's number and testing it.

Pasco County FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Have another question? Call us — (352) 556-3988.

No. Every inspection and consultation is free, with zero obligation — in New Port Richey and everywhere else in Pasco County. If we take your claim, our fee is a state-capped percentage of what we recover under Fla. Stat. 626.854: 20% standard, or 10% for claims arising from a Governor-declared emergency filed within one year of the declaration. You never pay out of pocket.
Often it's both — and that's exactly where Pasco County claims go wrong. Wind damage falls under your homeowners policy, while rising water like the surge from Idalia and Helene generally falls under a separate flood policy. We establish what happened in what order, document each loss separately, and present both claims properly. See our flood damage and hurricane damage guides for how each one works.
Constantly. Pasco County sits in Florida's "Sinkhole Alley," and our headquarters is next door in Hernando County — sinkhole and ground-settlement claims are one of our deepest specialties. Stair-step cracks in block walls, sticking doors and sloping floors are all worth a free look. Our sinkhole damage claims guide covers the warning signs.
Usually within 24–48 hours of your call. Our office is just up US-19 in Spring Hill, so New Port Richey, Port Richey, Hudson, Holiday, Trinity and Wesley Chapel are a short drive — not a catastrophe-team deployment. After a major storm we triage the most severe damage first.
