Water
In most cases,water damage may be caused by a burst or broken plumbing pipe, a break in a dishwasher hose, or a blockage in the plumbing system. These issues can lead to costly damage to your property. Before filing a water claim it is very important to determine the cause of the damage and to find the appropriate coverage.
During an inspection of your property, the main factors to evaluate and properly document are all instances of damage caused by water as your insurance company may overlook a lot of details.
Hail/Storm
Hail and windstorm related damage is a very specific type of loss. Missing shingles or damaged siding can be just the tip of the iceberg. When your roof or exterior siding walls are exposed to the elements, it may lead to more severe damage caused by water intrusion. Our trained professionals will inspect your roof in order to determine the extent of the damage.If needed, our emergency service crew will protect your roof and exterior walls prior to insurance inspection.
Mold
Mold needs certain conditions before it can begin to grow: Humidity, Leaking Pipes, Roof Leaks, Condensation, Poor Ventilation, Wet Clothes, Flooding, a Damp Basement, and Water at the Property Foundation level. Excessive mold exposure leads to health risks as identified by the Environmental Protection Agency and can range from allergic reactions, asthma or even worse.

Fire
Fire loss is by far the most devastating type of damage you can ever suffer. Depending on the extent of the damages, notonly can you lose your personal belongings, but it also may be necessary for you to relocate and find a new place to live for some time.

A fire or any other catastrophic event can force you to leave your property until the damage can be repaired. It is important to read the loss of use provisions carefully prior to filing a claim. While the insurer must reimburse you for any increased expenses you incur to maintain your standard of living, there are restrictions on the type of expenses that are reimbursable so it is a good idea to get to know your coverage or ask for professional advice.
