Water Damage Restoration and Your Insurance Company

Whether your water heater fell over, the kids forgot to turn off the bathtub faucet, the normally serene river down the road has burst its bank, or a 24-foot storm surge has wiped out your home, water damage happens. In fact, that's why many homeowners carry insurance - to protect their homes from unpredictable catastrophes.

Unfortunately, one man's catastrophe is another man's problem. This is true especially when dealing with your insurance company over restoration claims. Is it a catastrophe or is it your problem? Is the flood event covered or not?

Most homeowners insurance policies exclude certain types of flooding so it's useful to review your policy before and during the water restoration claims process. If you have National Flood Insurance, you should be prepared with that information as well.

Water damage and restoration claims are subject to all kinds of rules and loopholes and your insurance company knows exactly what they are doing - do you? If you're getting the runaround from your insurance about a restoration claim, don't take their word for it. Read your insurance policy and find out exactly what is covered. You pay your premiums for the service that the insurer provides. When it's time for restoration for a covered loss, you don't deserve to be short changed.

While many water claims are specifically excluded from an insurance policy, not all are. During hurricanes and major storms, some water damage is specifically excluded such as water damage from a storm surge. However, if your roof blows off and the rain damages the interior of your home, then the water restoration would likely be covered. Beware of the insurance agent that wants to classify damage as something other than it is. For example, if the agent claims the water damage is due to storm surge when it's clear that the reason the home is water damaged is because the roof blew off, then stick up for yourself and demand that the adjuster look at the obvious.

In these cases, restoration compensation could be less than what's needed thanks to an insurance adjuster whose eyes are on the bottom line, not what you are entitled to under the terms of your policy. Get a professional involved if you need help. Public insurance adjusters can act on your behalf and get a better settlement offer while specific contractors, such as roofers and rebuilders, can document the damage, make reasonable efforts, and back you up when you're filing a restoration claim.

Your insurance company wants to save a few bucks while you want to make sure that you can restore your property. You are at odds with each other even though you are business partners. Get a third party involved and ensure that your restoration goes the way it should.
