Here are some Christmas tree fire safety tips to keep your holiday celebrations worry-free:
Keep it Hydrated: Water your tree daily to prevent it from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
Placement Matters: Position your tree away from heat or open-flame sources, like candles, heaters and fireplaces. We know, there are not many fireplaces in South Florida, but just in case 
.
Lights Check: Inspect your holiday lights for any frayed wires or damaged bulbs before decorating.
Unplug at Night: Remember to turn off tree lights before heading to bed or leaving home.
Quality Ornaments: Use non-flammable or flame-resistant decorations to minimize risks.
Fire Extinguisher Ready: Have a fire extinguisher nearby, just in case.
For four generations, the name Sarasohn has been synonymous with the highest levels of integrity and expertise in the field of insurance adjusting.
Emmanuel Sarasohn founded his public adjusting business in 1924 in Newark, NJ. His sons, Ira and Roy, grew up in the family business and came on board full time after college and the army.
In 1951, Ira Sarasohn was one of the founding members of the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. Ira and Roy would both later serve as president of that esteemed organization.
Ira J. Sarasohn took over the helm of Sarasohn & Company after his father’s passing. In 1970, Stephen Sarasohn joined the firm in NJ, but he settled in Florida a few years later. In 1985, both Ira and Stephen helped found the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters. After 72 years of public adjusting, Ira J. Sarasohn passed away in 2006 with many active files on his desk. In 2018, Bernard Sarasohn joined the firm as a licensed public adjuster.
Stephen Sarasohn is now CEO of Sarasohn & Company and he maintains the same high standards as his predecessors. Sarasohn & Company, Inc. is based in Boca Raton, FL but is licensed to handle claims in other states as well.
In order to properly adjust any claim for damage to a structure, it is important to prepare a detailed repair estimate. Sarasohn & Company will do that on your behalf. Whenever necessary, we will employ the services of architects, engineers, contractors and other independent experts at no additional cost to you.
Full consideration is given to the provisions of your policy, as well as applicable statutes and case law, so as to maximize the recovery. This includes consideration of depreciation, coinsurance, code upgrades, deductibles and any other factors important to a successful adjustment. Sarasohn & Company is also equipped to provide project management for the reconstruction process. Project management is a field used in large construction projects to coordinate the various aspects of the repairs. This service is provided at no additional cost.
All insurance policies require the submission of a complete inventory of both the damaged and undamaged personal property. This includes machinery, trade fixtures, appliances, merchandise inventory, household furnishings, clothing and all other movable property insured under the policy. This coverage also covers improvements and betterments on tenants’ policies, which can be treated several ways for claims purposes.
Sarasohn & Company has on its staff, experienced personnel who are capable of filling these requirements. In addition to listing the property involved, our experts will calculate the replacement cost and actual cash value of each item as well as the repair cost when appropriate. We will determine salvage value, if any, and help arrange for protection of the property from further damage, as required by the policy. Our services can be helpful in documenting your tax loss, if any.
One of the most complex aspects of your claim involves calculating the loss of income you will suffer as a direct result of damage to real or personal property. Sarasohn’s long term experience has helped to develop a team of forensic accountants who have proven to be outstanding in their ability to adjust claims in a way most favorable to the policyholder. The services of CPA’s and tax attorneys are engaged when necessary, at no additional cost to you.
One of the questions that usually arise in a loss of income claim involves the continuation of payroll during the period of restoration. It is extremely important that a method be established as soon as possible after the loss, to resolve this aspect of the claim. Sarasohn & Company, with its years of experience will assist you with these important decisions. Extra expense coverage can be used creatively to make up for insufficient property coverage, should that scenario exist.

Do you have a residential or commercial property in Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina or South Carolina? The public adjusters at Sarasohn & Company are experts at maximizing your insurance claim recovery. We don’t get paid unless you do!
Most states license all insurance adjusters, whether they work for an insurance company or for the public. Adjusters working for the insurance companies are obligated to treat all claimants fairly and impartially. However, they are paid by the insurance companies for their efforts. The state recognizes that you, the policyholder, are entitled to equal representation and you may retain the services of an expert adjuster to assist in the claim process. Sarasohn & Company can assist in preparing your claim, guiding you through the claim process and helping to achieve the most favorable settlement. In addition to numerous state licenses, Stephen Sarasohn has held the nationally recognized designation of Senior Professional Public Adjuster since 1988.

Structural Integrity
Wood Rot: Prolonged exposure to moisture causes wooden structures like beams, joists, and studs to rot. This can compromise the building’s stability, leading to sagging floors, walls, and potentially collapse.
Metal Corrosion: Metal components such as nails, screws, and steel beams can rust when exposed to moisture, weakening the overall structural integrity.
Mold Growth
Widespread Contamination: If water damage is not addressed promptly, mold can spread throughout the building, making remediation more complex and expensive.
Electrical Risks
Increased Risk of Electrocution: Damaged electrical systems increase the risk of electrocution, especially in areas with standing water.
Decreased Property Value
Insurance Issues: Untreated water damage can complicate insurance claims and lead to higher premiums, as insurers may view the property as a higher risk.
Air Quality Issues
Increased Humidity: Water damage can lead to higher indoor humidity levels, which can exacerbate mold growth and contribute to further deterioration of building materials.
Long-Term Repair Cost
Comprehensive Remediation: Addressing untreated water damage may require a full-scale remediation effort, including mold removal, structural repairs, and electrical system replacement.
In conclusion, immediate action is essential to mitigate these risks and protect both the building and its occupants. Regular inspections and prompt repair of any water intrusion are key to preventing long-term damage
