Common Water Damage Issues

Water damage requires immediate action. Moisture spreads behind walls and under floors. Mold develops quickly without proper drying. The source matters—burst pipes, roof leaks, and appliance failures all have different coverage implications.

Claims involve hidden moisture detection, emergency mitigation costs, mold remediation, subfloor replacement, electrical system damage, HVAC repairs, contents losses, and disputes over whether damage is sudden or gradual.

Why Water Claims Are Complex

Water travels through structures creating damage you can't see. What starts as a pipe leak becomes hidden wall damage, compromised flooring systems, and potential mold growth. Insurance coverage depends on the water source and how quickly damage occurred.

What These Claims Need

Immediate documentation before mitigation begins. Professional moisture detection. Source determination. Complete assessment of visible and hidden damage. Coordination with water extraction and drying companies. Understanding of coverage for mitigation costs.

How We Help

How quickly do I need to report water damage?

Report water damage to your insurance company promptly—most policies require notification within a specific timeframe. Meanwhile, take immediate steps to prevent further damage.
