Get Assistance With Your Water Damage Claim

Water damage is one of the most troubling and difficult issues to have to face in your home. These claims can emerge slowly, via slow roof leak, or instantaneously, through a burst water pipe. However, all water damage issues have the potential to cause major damage to your home relatively quickly.

Common effects of water damage can include:

  • Structural damage - Structural damage might show noticeable signs such as cracks in walls or ceilings, sagging floors, or a cracked chimney. It’s worth noting that the majority of insurance policies will not cover structural damage without a specific event, so you might not get insurance for pre-existing damage.
  • Ruined flooring - Carpets, laminate, and even tile are capable of being affected by water damage.
  • Ruined drywall - Drywall was never meant to be exposed to water and in these circumstances is especially prone to mildew/mold growth, deforming, and cracking.
  • Mold/mildew - The mold or mildew growth after a water damage incident can be extremely distressing, as it won’t go away without the underlying cause fully treated.
  • Rotted roofing - A dip in your roofing is one very common sign of rotted roofing, although this isn’t always present.
  • Damaged/ruined personal items

If your home sustains water damage, you will likely wish to file an insurance claim to get financial assistance with your repair and restoration. However, if your insurance company denies or delays your claim unnecessarily to preserve their own bottom line, do not hesitate to retain an experienced Broward County water damage lawyer.

Flooding Insurance
