If you’re an insurance professional in the Orlando, Brevard, or Atlanta area, you are probably familiar with the homeowner who has made a water leak claim because they just noticed a slow drip that has caused significant damage to their home or business.
Whether it was under a sink, behind a wall, above the ceiling, behind the washing machine or refrigerator, or even out in the yard, a small drip can cause big damage that is expensive to repair.
The big question is, when did the property owner notice the water leak and did they take action right away?
Water damage makes up a third of property damage claims, according to the Insurance Information Institute, and that number seems to be growing.
When it comes to water leaks the source can be simple to detect. Such as water gushing from under the sink, a stain on the ceiling below the upstairs bathroom or unexplained mold in the bathroom, these things a homeowner should notice and take proper action so the damage doesn’t get worse.
What about the water leaks where the source is not so obvious. Such as warm spots on the floor, a wet area on the lawn, or even a higher than normal water bill.
When it comes to locating a water leak, advanced technology can save you time and money.
