If your client calls about a water intrusion in their home or business, keep in mind the Leak Doctor is a leader in the industry and has the experience to locate concealed damaged pipes, slab leaks, and hard to find water leaks.
What kind of water damage is covered under their insurance? That depends on the type of insurance you have and what kind of water leak you have. A good rule of thumb, if the leak was sudden, such as a pipe bursting, typically the damages are covered by your insurance.
However, if wear and tear, or poor maintenance was the cause of the water leak, then that may be a different story. Many homeowners are surprised to find out pipes and septic systems require maintenance.
For instance, low water pressure, higher than normal utility bills, stains on the ceiling, warm areas on the floor, unusual puddles in the yard, the sound of water running when all the appliances are turned off, and a musty odor, are all signs of a water leak. Cast iron pipes are another area of concern.
This is why it is so important to get an accurate “cause and origin” report
