South Florida, especially Fort Lauderdale, recently experienced a powerful thunderstorm that caused immense damage. The storm brought with it an unending torrential rain that lasted for days and powerful gusts of wind which rivaled winds associated with tropical systems.
What is Water Intrusion Damage?
Water intrusion damage occurs when water penetrates the interior spaces of a building or home. This can lead to a range of problems, including structural damage, mold growth, electrical hazards, and damage to personal or business items.
Some common causes of water intrusion include:
- Roof leaks: Damaged or improperly installed roofs can allow water to seep into the building or home.
- Plumbing failures: Burst pipes or faulty plumbing systems can lead to water intrusion.
- Cracks in your foundation: Cracks in the foundation can allow groundwater to enter the building or home.
- Window and door leaks: Poorly installed or damaged windows and doors can let water in.
- Natural disasters: Hurricanes and thunderstorms can bring heavy rainfall and flooding events, which can result in water intrusion damage.
Water intrusion can cause severe damage to homes and businesses, affecting the structural integrity of the building and leading to costly repairs.
Filing a Water Intrusion Damage Claim
Filing a water intrusion damage claim can be a complex process. Homeowners need to first assess the extent of their damage and take reasonable actions to prevent further damage from occurring.
The dangers of hidden damage associated with water intrusion.
Water intrusion damage is not always immediately visible, so having a licensed, professional public adjuster inspect your property is the first step toward discovering how your home or business was affected.
Insurance companies typically have specific requirements and deadlines for filing a claim, so it’s essential to have your property inspected promptly after you suspect you may have water intrusion damage.
