Water Damage & Leaks

Water claims often turn on the source and timing of the leak.

Insurers may argue that a leak was long-term, maintenance-related or excluded, even when the resulting damage is significant.

01

Burst Pipes

A sudden pipe failure can release large amounts of water into a home.

02

Plumbing Failures

Supply lines, valves and internal plumbing can cause hidden or sudden damage.

03

Roof Leaks

Roof openings may allow water into ceilings, walls and insulation.

04

Appliance Leaks

Water heaters, washing machines, refrigerators and dishwashers can cause major losses.

05

HVAC Leaks

Condensate and drainage failures can damage ceilings, walls and floors.

06

Storm Intrusion

Heavy rain can enter through damaged roofs, windows, doors or exterior walls.

What Matters Early

The source of the water can determine the coverage fight.

✓
Photograph the source and resulting damage before major cleanup when possible.
✓
Keep plumber, mitigation and contractor reports.
✓
Preserve the policy, claim correspondence and carrier estimate.
✓
Document when the problem was discovered and what steps were taken.
