Water damage is one of the most common forms of damage to property.
Whether from a broken pipe, or a sewage backup, or a flooding incident, water damage often brings severe destruction. These incidents require swift and expert mediation.
Water Damage Realities
1) The more polluted the water, the worse your situation.
The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) classifies water into three categories in its S500 Standard:
Category 1: Generally sanitary water
Category 2: Significantly contaminated water
Category 3: Grossly contaminated water
The category of water on any loss will dictate how it’s restored and how much can be salvaged
2) Mold can be debilitating to your home’s structure and to your health.
And, it doesn’t take long to begin to grow. Mold needs only five perfect conditions to grow in 48-72 hours:
-Moisture
-Food source
-Prime temperature
-No/minimal air movement
-No/minimal light
3) Fast action is crucial.
In order to begin processing an insurance claim, your agent needs to know about a water damage situation immediately, what happened, how it happened, the source of the water, etc. The longer you wait, the worse the situation gets — not to mention, your chances of having a “sudden damage” claim approved begin to dwindle.
