Water damage is one of the most common property losses and is generally covered by most insurance policies. Unfortunately your plumbing system doesn’t care where you are. You can be working or on vacation when a loss occurs. When a pipe ruptures it can release hundreds or thousands of gallons of water causing tremendous damage. If you experience a water loss, you must act immediately. Your insurance policy states you have an obligation to prevent further damage which means you need to move quickly to remediate and dry the structure and prevent secondary mold damage. Mold will start forming as soon as 48 hours so you must act quickly. The effects of water damage to your home can be as traumatizing as a fire. It can displace you and your family and ruin all that you’ve worked for.
