Plumbing Insurance Claims

Water damage can be a complicated and disastrous situation. Internal plumbing structures are often so complex, that when leakage or a burst occurs, you may not notice until it’s too late. Other unexpected water damage sources such as washing machines, slop sinks, dishwashers, leaks from shower pans, and refrigerator water lines can take you by surprise! When these plumbing disasters surface, you need to act fast. A public adjuster will give you the immediate attention your property deserves.

Water damage caused by plumbing issues such as expansion tank failures can result in structural damage, mold, or ruined inventory or furniture. When plumbing leaks are caused by a slow leak over time, the damages can go unseen for quite some time.

According to a recent survey, water damage from plumbing or appliances was the second highest claim made, making up 19 percent of all claims. With these statistics, it’s important to understand how to address a disaster of this sort.

We understand the stressors that come when a plumbing leak has affected your home or business. In a matter of moments, your entire property foundation could be at risk of collapse.

Most water damage insurance claims apply to structural damage, such as damage to floors or walls caused by a bursting pipe. Policies may even cover related damaged belongings, such as furniture or computers. However, insurance companies fail to cover plumbing leaks and related damage that is caused by poor property maintenance. Oftentimes, they will use this argument against you, when in fact there are many other underlying factors that come into play. Don’t allow insurance companies to strip you from your rightful claims. With a public adjuster on your side, you’ll have the expertise you need to fight back.
