What You Need to Know About Water Damage Claims

Water damage can be complex. Insurance policies may have exclusions or coverage limits depending on the cause of the damage. Here is what you need to know.

Covered vs Excluded Damage

Water damage from broken pipes is often covered, but flooding from external sources may not be. It is important to understand what your policy covers.

Document Everything

Before repairs begin, take photos and videos of the damage. Keep receipts for any temporary repairs or water mitigation steps you have taken.

Act Fast

The longer you wait, the more the damage can spread, leading to more extensive repairs and higher costs. Contact us right away so we can get involved early and assist you from the beginning.
