Water Damage
Water Does Considerable Damage
When water leaks into an area it does not belong, the damage it can cause is considerable and expensive to repair. It seems hard to believe that something as harmless as water can cause so much trouble, but it can!
Causes of Water Damage
Many things can occur that can result in water damage to your home. Pipes can burst, appliances (like your hot water heater, washing machine, or dishwasher) can malfunction, and fixtures (including showers, bathtubs, and toilets) can leak or overflow.
Roofs can leak as well. Sometimes, problems like these are immediately noticeable, mainly if water is coming into your home. But other times you may not immediately realize you have a leak and water damage. Perhaps the water is seeping into an unused area of the home, or it may not penetrate the inside walls of your house.
Hurricanes and tropical storms also create situations of heavy rains and strong winds. These conditions can cause destruction that will ultimately result in flooding and water damage to your home.
The Impact of Excess Water
When water enters your home or business, significant damage is possible; furnishing and personal items can be ruined, flooring and carpet destroyed, and even the structure of the property compromised.
When water damage is not addressed quickly, mold is a serious concern. In addition to causing more damage to your property, mold can be dangerous to your health.
Water Damage and Insurance Claims
Insurance companies, particularly those in Florida, are inundated with water damage claims. They are, by far, the most popular claims filed.
However, insurance companies are no more likely to pay these claims than any others. Quite simply, insurance is a business and every claim paid is a reduction in profitability. Thus, insurance company representatives will often underpay or even outright deny submitted claims.
