Additionally, it’s essential to contact your insurance company promptly to determine whether the water damage is covered by your homeowners’ policy. Most types of water damage are covered, depending primarily on the source of the water. However, it’s crucial to review your policy carefully to ensure you understand your coverage limits and any exclusions that may apply.
According to a recent article on the Forbes website, water extraction restoration claims are increasingly common, with approximately one in fifty homeowners filing a water damage claim each year. These claims can be costly, with the average cost of water damage restoration around $10,000. Therefore, it’s essential to take immediate action and work closely with your insurance company to mitigate the damage and expedite the restoration process.
If you’re dealing with water damages caused by burst pipes from freezing, there’s a good chance that your insurance policy will cover the costs of restoration. However, it’s important to note that an insurance agent may deny your claim if they suspect that you intentionally turned off the heat in a winter cabin or seasonal residence, and the lack of heat was the primary source of the water damages. In such cases, you may end up paying for the repairs out of your own pocket.
On the other hand, if you’re dealing with water damage caused by a fire, you’re likely to be covered almost without exception. In such instances, the water used by the fire department or the sprinkler systems that caused damage to floors, floorboards, and drywall is generally considered “covered” water damage.
Regardless of the cause of your water damage, it’s essential to contact your insurance company as soon as possible to start the claims process. Be sure to provide them with all the necessary documentation, including photos and a detailed inventory of the damage, to expedite the process and ensure that your claim is processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Remember, the longer you wait to file a claim, the greater the potential for additional damage and costs.
However, regardless of the type of water damage you’re dealing with, it’s vital to contact us as soon as possible to begin the process of restoration. Waiting too long to address the issue can lead to more expensive and potentially hazardous mold or air quality problems down the line.
