Water Damage: The Simplest Way To Minimize Its Impact To Your Home
Water damage is THE #1 loss we see homeowners incur. Leaks from burst pipes and appliances can go undetected until they become a big problem. Heavy rain can cause significant infiltrations and unpleasant sewage backups.
What to think about
While the right insurance will keep you from financial setbacks, it cannot prevent the loss of invaluable belongings or the stress and time-consuming hassles of replacing damaged property and dealing with mold, repairs, or temporary changes in your living situation. These disruptions can drag on for months.
Plus, there’s more…
What we are seeing
Water-related claims have increased 300% in recent years. Because of that, insurance coverage is changing.
What this shows is a need for homeowners to be more proactive.
What we recommend
Leak detection sensors and water shut-off devices are an easy and quick solution that can go a long way in giving you peace of mind. At the first sign of a leak, these devices shut off your home’s water lines and alert you on your phone, helping you minimize damage.
These preventative measures can help you get access to better insurance coverage and typically qualify you for discounted policy rates.
