Damage caused by water-related issues, such as flooding or heavy storms can cause extensive damage within the structure of your home or business. Even when the initial water damage is taken care of, there may be other deeper problems that could develop over time. Unless the initial presence of water is extensively dried and sanitized, even the smallest remaining moisture can cause long term problems for your home or business. Mold spores can set into wet wood and grow to infestation levels quickly and relatively unnoticed.  A minor roof leak can turn into a breeding ground that lets in foundation damaging moisture.

 

Roof damage is one of the most frequent sources of leakage within the home.  Damage to the roof can allow the intrusion of water to the interior of the home, which is most frequently the result of wind or hail.  Even the most unnoticeable hail hits or shingles whose seals are broken can allow rainwater to enter the home.  This incursion of water will usually result in problems to the roof decking and in the attic, wet rafters and soaked insulation which ultimately lead to water stains on interior ceilings. 

​

Plumbing, air conditioners and heating units are another common source of water damage. Burst pipes can cause massive issues within the home and are covered by almost all homeowners' policies. Things such as overflowing toilets, tubs or broken washing machines can cause pipe-related water damage.  If the water issue is inside of a wall, ceiling or underneath the slab foundation, then the policy coverage may include the damage to these areas as well as any damage caused during source discovery.
