About Jacob
Jacob More is a licensed Florida public adjuster at Ocean Point specializing in legacy-plumbing claims: cast iron drain lines, polybutylene supply lines, and the carrier-engineer report disputes that accompany them. South Florida's aging housing stock creates these claims by the thousand, and Jacob is the person who gets them paid.
Specialty claim types
- Cast iron pipe claims (sudden-event documentation, matching, scope of tear-out)
- Polybutylene pipe failures (1980s-90s Florida homes)
- Cosmetic-exclusion disputes (when carriers cite exclusions to deny scope)
- Carrier-engineer report review and counter-expert coordination
- Water damage secondary to legacy plumbing
Credentials
- Florida DFS License: #W740935
- Background: Construction, post-construction, remediation, then public adjusting
- Certifications: IICRC WRT; continuing certifications in progress
How Jacob works
Cast iron and polybutylene claims are the hardest water claims in Florida because carriers have pre-built defenses: "wear and tear," "long-term deterioration," "not a sudden event." Jacob's construction background means he speaks the contractor's language. He can document the specific failure mode, the sudden-event characteristics, and the scope of tear-out and reinstallation with technical precision.
When a carrier retains an engineer to deny the claim, Jacob reviews the report in detail and identifies the specific methodology gaps, which often leads to a counter-expert engagement or a successful challenge at mediation.
