Broken and Frozen Pipes


If your home has suffered water damage as a result of broken or frozen pipes, there is a good chance your claim will be covered. However it is your responsibility to take action immediately. If your insurance company believes you have delayed in your response, they can deny your entire claim.


Unfortunately, if you are like most people, water damage and water claims are not your expertise. When disaster strikes, don’t make the mistake and try to handle your claim on your own. Worse yet, don’t trust your insurance company to treat you fairly or to pay you what you deserve. Remember, the main goal of the insurance company adjuster is to pay out as little as possible on every claim.
