The discovery of water damage in your home can cause you to feel stressed and uneasy, and rightfully so. Water damage can have a serious impact on the health of the structure of your home as well as the air quality. One of the most common causes of water damage is a burst or leaking pipe. This type of event may result in plumbing repairs, drywall and flooring repairs, furniture damage and a variety of other costly issues for you to deal with. Even a small leak can result in hundreds of dollars or more of damage, and a major leak may also require water remediation services to prevent mold growth from developing. In addition, you may have had to turn off the water until the repair work is completed, and this can be a true inconvenience. If you have discovered water in your home from a leaking or burst pipe, you may be wondering if you can file a claim with your homeowners insurance company to minimize your out-of-pocket costs. The good news is that many types of water damage from a leaking pipe are covered by most homeowners insurance policy, and you may be able to file a claim to ease the financial stress you may be feeling.

Reviewing Your Insurance Policy

There are significant variations in homeowners insurance policies, so the first step to follow is to review your insurance policy to learn more about which types of damage are included. Many policies include water damage to a home, and this often includes damage from ruptured pipes. One cause that may not be included, however, is if the pipe burst because of freezing weather conditions and you did not take precautions to prevent the damage. This is not an exception in every policy, but it is common in many of them.

Understanding the Cause of the Pipe Damage

Before you can file a claim, it is important to understand the cause of the pipe damage. If the weather is warm outside, there is a good chance that your pipes ruptured because they were weakened or otherwise in poor condition. If there were freezing weather conditions but the water in the pipes never froze, such as if the pipe that burst was on the interior of the home rather than on an exterior wall, the damage may not have been caused by the weather. We can review the condition of the pipes and help you to determine what the cause of the damage is. This information can be beneficial when you are filing an insurance claim.

Reviews


“This past week I had the need for a plumber and I reviewed the telephone book and selected from the advertisements your company to attend to the matter. The company sent Austin Steinbach to attend to and review the problem. He is a very knowledgeable young man who communicates well and does his work in a very thorough and professional manner. I was very satisfied with his service. Mr. Steinbech is a credit to your company. Very often in communities someone asks whether they are aware of a plumber or other technician that can be recommended. In this regard, I am comfortable in recommending Mr. Steinbech and your company. Thank you for the service rendered.”

“Quick & competent work done to high satisfaction. Darrell Begay provided quick service and very professional work when he came to install a new toilet seat. We had not been able to do the work ourselves, so it was a relief to have Darrell and Done Plumbing get here so quickly to take care of the task. We appreciate all Done as done for us”

“Just a note to tell you of our recent positive experience with Kieth Croft. We found him to be friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient. When an issue arose with the clean-outs, Kieth quickly resolved it to our satisfaction & to the way he had previously described. From the estimate to the conclusion of the project we had confidence in Kieth. He is a good ambassador for your company.”

“Just a note of thanks for being the Best plumbing and heating company. I have used you often and have been impressed every time. I called for a drain cleaning and was told a technician could come the same day. He arrived an hour ealier than was quoted, was very professional and did a great job at a very reasonable price with my coupon that he honored. I would never use another company and would recommend you to anybody that needs help. The technician that did such a great job was Austin, but every technician you have sent has been the best. Thanks again for such a wonderful company”

~ Karla W Golden, CO

“It was very professional, prompt & the technician explained many things well. Very happy throughout the whole process – from the customer service rep who answered the phone this morning to the technician explaining building codes to me.
