Water Damage Insurance Claims

Water damage can happen rapidly from a burst pipe, a leaking water tank, or a storm-damaged roof, or it can happen slowly over time from a leaking pipe or an appliance.

With a burst pipe the immediate damage is fairly obvious and, if remedied quickly, might not have spread too far.  On the other hand, leaking pipes can cause much more serious damage, well away from the actual leak.

An underfloor leak can cause damp, rotting skirting boards, destroy the carpets and encourage fungus and mould growth.

Understanding the Complexity of Water Damage Claims

Water damage claims are among the most frequent and complex insurance claims that property owners face. Unlike other types of property damage, water damage can spread rapidly and cause extensive destruction that extends far beyond the initial point of origin. Water has a unique ability to travel through building structures, creating damage in areas that may not be discovered until weeks or even months after the initial incident.

When water damage occurs in your property, what you see on the surface is often just a fraction of the total damage. Water can seep into wall cavities, under flooring, into insulation, and throughout building structures. This hidden moisture creates ideal conditions for mold growth, wood rot, metal corrosion, and structural deterioration that can compromise the safety and value of your property.

Types of Water Damage Covered by Insurance

Understanding what constitutes water damage under your home insurance policy is essential for maximizing your insurance claim payout. Many policyholders are unaware of the different categories of water damage and how they’re treated under various insurance policies. Our experienced public loss assessor team helps identify and document all forms of water damage to ensure nothing is overlooked in your claim.

Our insurance loss assessor team helps identify and document various categories of water damage that property owners commonly miss:

Clean Water Damage: This involves water from clean sources such as burst pipes, water supply lines, or rainwater entry. While this water starts clean, it can quickly become contaminated as it spreads through your property, affecting floors, walls, ceilings, and personal belongings.

Gray Water Damage: This category includes water from sources like washing machines, dishwashers, or sink overflows. Gray water contains some contaminants and requires more specialized cleanup procedures than clean water damage.

Black Water Damage: The most serious category involves heavily contaminated water from sources like sewer backups, toilet overflows, or flood water that has mixed with sewage. Black water damage requires extensive sanitization and often complete replacement of affected materials.

Structural Water Damage: Water can compromise the structural integrity of your building, affecting foundations, load-bearing walls, floor joists, and support systems. This type of damage requires expert assessment to identify both immediate safety concerns and potential long-term structural issues.

Electrical System Damage: Water and electricity create dangerous combinations, and water damage often necessitates complete electrical system inspection and potential replacement. Our damage assessment includes comprehensive evaluation of all electrical components that may have been compromised by water exposure.

HVAC System Damage: Water can damage heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, including ductwork, units, and controls. These systems often require specialized assessment and can be costly to repair or replace.

Contents and Personal Property: From furniture and electronics to important documents and family heirlooms, water damage can destroy irreplaceable possessions. We help document and value all damaged contents for your insurance claim.
