Don’t get Soaked by the Insurance Company After a Water Damage Claim
Water damage claims are among the most complex of all homeowner’s claims. This is because they can be caused by so many different things, including a pipe burst, a leaky roof, a runny faucet, a clogged drain, or even excessive rainfall. Most insurance policies are very specific when it comes to what is, and is not covered by the policy.
Unfortunately, when it comes to water damage, it is often impossible to tell the difference between damage caused by a clogged drain, and damage that is caused by heavy rain. Since a policy may cover one, but not the other, it is no surprise that insurance companies often attempt to deny claims related to water damage.
